When deleting XML documents and document definitions

Be careful to follow the order of the steps in this topic exactly when completely removing XML invoices and document definitions from the system. If the XML invoice definitions from processed invoices are deleted from the Kofax ReadSoft Entrance database before they are deleted from the XML Maintenance dialog (by clearing the Kofax ReadSoft Entrance database of the associated document profile or document definition, for example), you will not be able to delete them from the XML Maintenance dialog (that is, the information stored in the Collector database).
