Can I remove an item from a purchase order after it has been stock in?

No. After an item in a purchase order (PO) has been Stock In, the item cannot be removed from that PO.

What you can do instead

If the PO is already in Completed status, the full PO Stock In can be reverted.
The revert applies to the full PO only, not a single item in the PO.
After revert, the item still cannot be removed from the same PO.
If only one item is wrong and you still want to proceed with the other items in the PO, you need to do a manual Stock Out for that item.
If you missed adding another product to a completed PO, you need to create a new PO for that item.

Purchase orders cannot be deleted once created.
Duplicate or mistaken PO records will remain in the system.
To correct inventory quantity for a duplicate or mistaken PO, do a manual Stock Out.

To create a purchase order, use the Purchase Order flow in Inventory and complete the required vendor setup first if needed.

Create or confirm the vendor profile first.
Then create the PO and proceed with Stock In from that PO when receiving the items.
If you need to order additional items after a PO has been completed, create a new PO for those items.
