\n

There are several reasons a specific contract may be blocked from deletion during a bulk delete operation:<\/p>\n

The contract is linked to pay runs:<\/strong> If the contract is associated with one or more pay runs, the system automatically blocks deletion to protect payroll data integrity.<\/p>\n

The contract is linked to unpaid payslips:<\/strong> If the contract is associated with one or more unpaid payslips, it cannot be deleted until those payslips are settled.<\/p>\n

The contract belongs to a branch outside your access:<\/strong> If the contract belongs to a branch you do not have permission to access, it is automatically skipped and cannot be deleted.<\/p>\n

Insufficient permissions:<\/strong> If you only have the “Edit\/Delete His Own Contracts”<\/strong> permission, you will not be able to delete contracts belonging to other users.<\/p>\n

In all cases, the system continues processing the remaining selected contracts and displays a summary showing how many were successfully deleted and how many could not be deleted, along with the reason for each skipped contract.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"template":"","categories":[2199],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-139343","faq","type-faq","status-publish","hentry","category-manage-contracts"],"yoast_head":"\nWhy can't I delete some contracts in bulk? - Daftra Knowledge Base<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.daftra.com\/en\/faq\/why-cant-i-delete-some-contracts-in-bulk\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Why can't I delete some contracts in bulk? - Daftra Knowledge Base\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"There are several reasons a specific contract may be blocked from deletion during a bulk delete operation: The contract is linked to pay runs: If the contract is associated with one or more pay runs, the system automatically blocks deletion to protect payroll data integrity.
