You may want to delete versions of an external purchasing document (because the changes made in a certain version are not to be applied after all, for example).

Versions of a purchasing document can be deleted in the relevant change transaction for the purchasing document (e.g. in Change Purchase Order (ME22N)).

The following prerequisites must be satisfied before a version of a purchasing document can be deleted:

• The changes made in the version must have been reversed (cancelled, revoked)
• All open messages must have been deleted

To delete a version of an external purchasing document, proceed as follows:

1. Manually reverse all changes made to the purchasing document in this version.

2. Manually delete all open messages for the purchasing document.

3. Delete the version by choosing Delete version on the Version tab page.
