Bug Description
With 2.4+ we lost the ability to delete cancelled line items, with a "deleted" cancel reason, from an activated PO. We would like this functionality back. A cancel reason of "deleted" implies that the line item is no longer needed, for whatever reason, and should be completely removed from the PO. Since a cancelled/deleted" line item no longer has copies or an encumbrance, some libraries prefer to not retain these.
This option could be controlled by a permission.

I looked at this while looking at https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/evergreen/ +bug/1115599 to see if I could fix it at the same time. Unfortunately, the logic is a little different here. The "Delete Selected Items" menu option is only enabled for picklists, pending purchase orders, general search, and the view/place order interfaces. It becomes disabled for activated purchase orders.
Since PO's continue to be activated purchase orders even after lineitems are cancelled, the option is disabled for those lineitems. However, we don't want to allow the menu item to enabled for all active orders because we don't want staff deleting items with an on-order status. Ultimately, I think we need a way to allow it for cancelled items and not for on-order items.
