Error: "This item cannot be deleted because it has child items", here is the resolution

This warning message is usually encountered when a user is trying to delete a record in the system and it has child records as indicated under History> Transactions

Please find below steps to delete the item

• User should investigate if this item has been a member of a kit or assembly item.
• Any transaction under the kit or assembly item to which it was a member at the time the transaction was created should be deleted first before the item itself could be deleted
• These transactions are considered the child item records even if the item does not appear in them but technically it is a part of the transactions because it is member at the time they are created
