Delete old on-order items

​Old on-order items are stored in the Wise database. They can be purged from the system by a manager or system administrator within the Wise configuration manager. 

On-order items can also be deleted individually from the catalog in the Wise client. See Delete orders for more information.

To delete old on-order items:

1. In the Wise configuration manager, go to OCLC Wise > Order and link > Order > Delete old on-order items. The Delete old orders screen appears.
2. Enter information about orders to delete:
    

   Field	Description
   Until order date	Required field.  Automatically filled with the current date. To change the date, click the field to open a calendar and select a different date.
   Branch	Select the branch for which to delete old on-order items. Select branch 9999 to delete on-order items for all branches.
   Vendor	Select a vendor from the drop-down list.

3. Click Remove on-order items. The on-order items are removed immediately. The title records are retained in this process and the orders are permanently deleted and cannot be retrieved.

The following changes are made to the records:

• Items records with the status of I (on-order) receive the status of A (discarded).
• Order lines are adjusted and receive the copy and payment status of Expired.

 Note: The on-order items are removed from Wise but not canceled by the supplier. It is possible that a supplier can provide the on-order items.
