+# Can't delete a purchase order line after it's confirmed
+
+This article provides a workaround for the restriction on deleting purchase order lines, specifically after the design change introduced in [Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management 10.0.33 (May 2023)](/dynamics365/supply-chain/get-started/whats-new-scm-10-0-33).
+
+## Symptoms
+
+You can't delete a purchase order line if the purchase order is currently or was previously confirmed and either of the following settings is applied:
+
+- The purchase order is [budget-controlled](/dynamics365/supply-chain/procurement/tasks/create-purchase-order-governed-by-budget).
+- Encumbrance accounting is enabled.
+
+## Cause
+
+A design change was introduced in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management version 10.0.33 to safeguard data integrity by preventing the deletion of purchase order lines.
+
+## Workaround
+
+If you need to remove a purchase order line, the recommended approach is to first [cancel the line](/dynamics365/supply-chain/procurement/purchase-order-approval-confirmation#canceling-purchase-orders) and then finalize it.
+
+To cancel the whole quantity on a purchase order line:
+
+1. Open the purchase order and select the purchase order line that you want to cancel the delivery remainder quantity on.
+1. Select **Update line** > **Deliver remainder** > **Cancel quantity**. The line will then be updated to **Canceled** status.
