Payment Transaction - Deletion Restriction
A payment transaction that a payment refers to cannot be deleted
Deleting a transaction still linked to a payment is refused, with both documents named - so the payment trail stays complete.
Payment Transaction - Deletion Restriction (technical name to_payment_transaction_protection) is an Odoo 17.0 app for Odoo Community and Odoo Enterprise and Viindoo Cloud, built for accountant, administrator, auditor, support.

Instruction
Situation
Assume that a customer purchases a product through the Paypal payment portal. When the payment is successful, the system will automatically generate a payment transaction associated with the invoice or sale order sent to the customer. So how will the system behave when the user intentionally deletes this payment transaction?
Apply
Navigate to Accounting > Configuration > Payments > Payment Transactions to view the generated transaction.
At this time, the system also automatically generates a payment associated with this transaction.
On the payment transaction associated with the payment, you select Action > Delete, the system will display an error message.
Note: Activating Developer Mode (debug mode) to check payment transactions.
