In 2026, delete an erroneous object in 1C only using a standard command after checking related documents and the recognition of the transaction in the accounts; if the document confirms the export or recognition of imported goods, its technical deletion does not change the established date of turnover or taxable import (Art. 516 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan).
What Exactly Needs to Be Deleted
The query “how to delete in 1C” may refer to different objects: a document, a document line, a directory item, a file attached to a task, or a user session. There is no single safe procedure for every case. First, the accountant should determine which object has been selected, where it was created, and which transactions are associated with it.
If this concerns an accounting document, before deleting it, check whether the transaction has been recorded in registers and reports and whether the document is linked to a payment, sale, receipt, invoice, or subsequent correction. For exports, the date of turnover is determined by the earliest primary accounting document confirming shipment, while taxable imports are subject to the rules for determining the date when goods are recognized and the date of their importation (Art. 516 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan). Therefore, the mere presence of a delete command in the interface does not mean that the document can be deleted without analyzing the accounting implications.
The practical procedure is as follows:
- Open the object and verify its type, date, organization, and business transaction.
- Check the related documents and the data generated on its basis.
- Make sure that the object was indeed created in error and does not instead require correction or cancellation of posting.
- If necessary, retain the supporting information and obtain approval for the action from the responsible employee.
- Use only a standard command available in the installed configuration and within the permissions granted.
The names of commands and interface sections may vary depending on the configuration and release. Therefore, the specific path should be determined from the interface of the installed solution, without transferring the procedure from another version of 1C.
How to Safely Delete a Document or Item
If the object has been posted, first assess the consequences of cancelling its posting. A posted document may contain accounting entries, and changing or deleting it may affect settlements, balances, and reporting. Deleting such an object without checking its dependencies is risky.
In many configurations, an object is first marked for deletion, after which a standard check is performed to determine whether it can be permanently deleted. This procedure cannot be considered identical for all 1C solutions: the available actions are determined by the configuration, its settings, and the user’s permissions.
If the standard check displays related objects, do not delete them automatically merely to complete the operation. Determine which documents form the chain and why the relationship arose. Depending on the business circumstances, the correct action may be to correct the details, cancel the posting of the erroneous document, or issue a correction document in accordance with the prescribed procedure.
It is important for an accountant to distinguish between the technical deletion of a record and the correction of an accounting error. If the transaction has already been included in period closing, reporting, or data exchange, the entire related document workflow must be checked. For example, deleting a record from the database does not change the procedure established by the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan for determining the date of export turnover or the date of taxable import if the relevant business event actually occurred and is supported by documents (Art. 516 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan).
If 1C Does Not Allow an Object to Be Deleted
A deletion failure means that the conditions for performing the operation should be checked instead of repeatedly running the command. Possible reasons include insufficient user permissions, related data, the object being used in another document, a locked record, or the action being performed in the wrong information system.
If a file is attached to a task received from 1C:Document Management through integration, first determine the system in which the attachment was created and is stored. When the attachment is managed in the source document management system, it should be handled there using the standard commands available to the user.
This procedure applies specifically to integration objects. It should not be applied automatically to ordinary accounting documents, directories, or files that were created and are stored directly in the current infobase.
A separate situation is the message “Failed to delete sessions.” It concerns infobase administration rather than the deletion of an accounting document and indicates that the session termination operation was not completed in full. Determine which sessions remain active and which users are working in them. Forced session termination should be referred to the 1C administrator because it may interrupt users’ work and unfinished operations.
What to Check Before and After Deletion
Before deletion, document why the object was deemed erroneous and who approved the action. If the organization has configured backups, logging, or access control, follow the established internal procedure. Do not disable control mechanisms merely to delete a single record.
After the operation, check the related documents, balances, settlements, and reports that may have been affected by the object. The specific checks depend on the type of transaction. If the document has already been transferred to another system, check the exchange result and the status of the corresponding object in the recipient’s system.
For imported goods, additionally compare the accounting data with the date of importation and the date on which the goods were recognized in the accounting records. If both dates are available, the date of recognition of imported goods is the later of the two, unless a special rule is established by the relevant provision (Art. 516 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan). Deleting a document in the software must not result in the loss of information required for this comparison.
If the delete command is unavailable, the safe procedure is as follows:
- make sure that the correct object is open and the correct infobase has been selected;
- check the user’s permissions;
- read the system message and check for dependencies;
- determine whether the object is managed by another system, as in the case of integration with 1C:Document Management;
- contact the administrator or support specialist without modifying the program code yourself.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can an erroneous document be deleted immediately in 1C? — No. First check whether it has been posted, its related objects, and its impact on the accounts. Depending on the situation, the document may need to be corrected or its posting cancelled instead of being permanently deleted.
Why is there no delete command in 1C? — Possible reasons include user permissions, configuration restrictions, a locked record, or object relationships. Follow the software message and use the standard commands available in the installed configuration.
Where should a task attachment be deleted? — If the attachment was received through integration, determine the system in which it was created and is stored. When the attachment is managed in 1C:Document Management, it should be deleted using the standard tools of that system.
What does the message “Failed to delete sessions” mean? — The operation concerns infobase administration and means that not all selected sessions were terminated. Checking active sessions and forcibly terminating them should be referred to the 1C administrator.
Is it necessary to refer to an article of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan when deleting an object? — The cited provisions of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan do not establish a special technical procedure for deleting objects in 1C. However, when deleting an accounting document, the tax rules applicable to the recorded transaction must be followed. For example, the dates of export turnover and taxable import are determined under the rules of Art. 516 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
