# Deleting a Batch

Open Batches may be deleted. Deleting a batch removes the batch, but does not delete any of its payments. The payments become part of an uncontrolled batch with the same Batch Number. The Batch Number in the Payments records is retained for controlled batch recovery in case you delete a batch by mistake.

Notes:

- A Payment may not be deleted until it is removed from the batch. A Payment is removed using the Drop from Batch menu item.
- A Payment cannot be dropped from a closed batch.
- Closed Batches cannot be deleted.

To delete a batch:

1. From the Accounts Receivable Controlled Batches window, right-click the row and click **Delete**. The Delete Batch? Dialog box is displayed.

2. Click **OK** to delete the selected batch or **Cancel** to exit the dialog box without deleting the batch.
