Question:
Purge History
Answer:
Purge History
This feature removes the detail of the General Ledger Audit
Trail, leaving only period balances for each account. You select
the fiscal periods to purge. Print an Audit Trail before running
this feature so that you have a record of the journal entries
before they are deleted.
Warning!
Do not purge history until after you have completed your
year end processing. Purging the history removes data from
your company and will not be available after purging. We
strongly recommend making a backup before purging history.
To purge the history files:
Select Purge History from the
Year End menu
Enter the cutoff date for which to purge journal entry
history. Type the date without dashes or slashes.
Select the Purge Period Totals check box to purge
the totals for each period. Leave the check box unchecked to
purge the detail, but not the period totals.
Select OK to purge, or Cancel to exit
without processing.
