PURCHASING > Utility > Purge and Archive History > Archived Purchase Orders > Purge archived POs
This utility is used to delete/remove old Purchase Orders from the Closed PO Archive.
Receipt transactions related to POs that are purged will also be removed from the Receipts Log automatically.
IMPORTANT: Many reports in SpendMap use information from open and archived POs and so purging archived POs will affect many areas of the system (e.g. buyer performance, supplier performance, budgets, etc.). Therefore, ensure that you retain enough PO history that may be needed for any reports that reference purchase history/values. Also, data that is purged is non-recoverable. If you are purging information that may be required for audit purposes, ensure that the appropriate reports are printed and retained for your records and/or a backup is performed before the data is purged. |
Noteworthy Questions & Options
•The “up to and including” date refers to the PO date. Any POs dated after the date entered will not be affected by the purge.
