I am trying to delete a User that I’ve created, but am getting this error:

The Fnd User “user.name” is used by 1 rows in another object (User Finance).

I also get the following error when trying to remove the User from the Company:

The User Finance “user.name” is used by 1 rows in another object (Purchase Authorizer).

The Company is the only thing I can see left assigned to the User (which as above, it won’t let me remove):

Running a database query against the USER_FINANCE view returns a result also:

 

Other things I’ve tried

  • I have deleted their Purchase Authorizer Substitute record
  • Verified not in Purchase Authorization Basic Data screen
  • Verified not in Invoice Posting Authorizers screen

Is there other screens I need to check and delete the user from?

Hi @Garak ,

For the second error message, the reason is that there will be probably have  a record (an authorizer) attached with the user ID you are going to delete (with the respective company) in the below screen.

 

Thanks,

Thanks @ThushAsanka that ended up being the problem (mostly).

There was a line in there with Authorizer ID linked to new/current Person ID, but User ID was linked to the old User to delete.

Once I corrected the line to the correct new User, I was able to delete the old User.
