Purge

Purge

The Purge routine allows you to delete Costing Transactions from the data file. Once they have been deleted they cannot be recovered other than by restoring from a backup.

The System allows selective removal of Transactions (that have not been flagged for archive). The default option is for Complete Transactions to be removed, up to a specified date. You may however elect to remove all Transactions for Projects with a specific Status. It is recommended you retain Transactions while a Project is Active.

The Purge should only be run after :

  • The Transaction Not Yet Printed report has been printed to printer.

  • All other Transaction reports you may want have been printed.

  • You have taken a backup of your data file.

Clicking OK displays a message ensuring that you have printed the Not Yet Printed report (if this has not yet been printed), before the Purge can be carried out.
