SOP Purge
Selecting Purge displays the relevant Purge selection window. This window enables you to select Sales or Purchase Orders to be removed from the System.
You will still be able to view transactional information in the Sales Transactions Enquiry window after you have purged Sales Orders from your data, but Order Account codes and Delivery Account codes will be empty. This is because the Sales Order information will have been removed by the purge process.
Only completed Orders that have not been archived can be deleted. This option should only be run when you are absolutely sure you no longer have any need to retain the selected orders for further reporting or analysis.
You must print and update the Not Yet Printed report before the Purge can take place.
You must take a backup copy of your database before purging any information.
