Safe deletes — ALMAS asks before anything is lost

ALMAS never quietly throws away things that other records depend on. When you try to delete or rename something that would leave a mess behind, it stops and shows you exactly what's at stake, then lets you decide.

Renaming a company onto one you deleted earlier

If you rename a company to a name that belongs to a company you deleted earlier, ALMAS recognises it and asks:

"A deleted company named Acme already exists. Restore it instead?"

  • Click Restore to bring the old company back instead of creating a duplicate.
  • Click Cancel to keep editing and choose a different name.

(If the name belongs to a company that is still active, you'll instead get a simple "that name is already taken" message — just pick another name.)

When a company has projects, invoices, transactions, contracts, or contacts attached, deleting it could affect those records. ALMAS warns you first:

"This company has related records that may be lost: • 4 projects • 2 invoices … Delete anyway?"

  • Click Delete anyway to go ahead — you've seen the counts and accepted them.
  • Click Cancel to keep the company.

(The very first/root company in your organization can never be deleted — that's by design.)

Deleting a product that still has stock

A product can't quietly disappear while it still shows inventory. If you delete a product that has units in stock, ALMAS asks:

"This product still has 37 unit(s) in stock. Zero the inventory and delete it?"

  • Click Zero & delete to set its stock to zero and remove it in one step.
  • Click Cancel to keep the product (for example, if the stock count looks wrong and you want to check first).

Deleted companies still show up in transactions

If you delete a company that some transactions were paid to or from, those transactions keep working. The company name still appears in the transaction list, marked as deleted, so your financial history never goes blank or breaks.
