Bulk Delete

Bulk Delete makes it simple to delete multiple records from any table using a controlled process that records success and error messages for each record.

There are some list pages in Business Central where you can only delete records one at a time. For example:

There are also occasions where you want to delete a whole bunch of records and you don't really want to sit there hitting the delete button, waiting for the related card page to launch with a question asking if you want to delete the record, selecting yes, waiting for the delete to succeed or fail, reviewing the error messages, etc.

The Bulk Delete app adds a new Bulk Delete action to the Items, Customers, and Vendors list pages that will create a bulk delete request which you can review before continuing. Any errors for records that could not be deleted are logged for you to review later.

The Bulk Delete app does not grant a user additional permissions, so you'll only be able to delete records you actually have permission to delete. Also, if there are validation checks performed when you attempt to delete the record, these will always be performed. The Bulk Delete app is designed to do exactly the same as manually deleting each record, only faster.
