Why you can't unallocate a transaction

Description

Sometimes within the Transactions module in Sage 50 Accounts, if you select a transaction you can't select the unallocate option.

Cause

Resolution

Not allocated	The selected transaction isn’t currently allocated to another transaction.
Non-base currency	Foreign Trader is active and the selected transaction is a non-base currency. Instead you must delete the transaction that also corrects the revaluation postings.
Lock date	If the transaction is before the current lock date and the user doesn't have access to the lock date settings option. You can give users access to the Lock date feature.
CIS transaction	The CIS module is active and the transaction is a CIS purchase invoice (PI), purchase credit (PC), or purchase payment (PP). Instead you must delete the PP and the software automatically deletes the PC transaction.
Link removed	The transaction is allocated to a transaction that no longer exists. For example, due to repaired data corruption. These transactions can't be unallocated or deleted.
