Purge Tasks

There are six purge tasks available on the Utilities menu, which can be used anytime during the accounting cycle. With the exception of the Purge Purchase Order Receipt History task, you can define a date to use when purging history.

Note: Always back up your data before performing a purge.

Purge Completed Purchase Orders

• Removes all orders completed based on the Purchase Order accounting date, the date completed, and the number of days entered at the Number of Days to Retain Completed PO field in Purchase Order Options.
• You can use this task to provide additional disk space before the regular period end processing.

Purge Expired Master/Repeating Orders

• Removes master and repeating orders with expiration dates before the accounting date.
• Automatically occurs during period-end processing.

Purge Completed or Cancelled PO Recap

• Removes data for orders completed or cancelled on or prior to the accounting date for which there is no receipt history.
• If the Purge PO Recap at Period End check box is selected in Purchase Order Options, this task is automatically run at period-end.
  • This does not purge open purchase orders.

Purge Obsolete Purchase Orders

• Removes all obsolete purchase orders whose order date, last receipt, or last invoice are before the date entered, regardless of their status.
• Purging obsolete purchase orders may cause your Purchases Clearing Report not to match with the purchases clearing account in the General Ledger Trial Balance Report.

Purge Purchase Order Receipt History

• Removes receipt history for completed purchase orders.

Purge Purchases History

• Removes history for receipts or postings made on or before a date you select.
• This task is in addition to the functionality performed during the period-end process.
