Purging Records

You can delete Oracle Payables, Oracle Purchasing, and Oracle Supplier Scheduling records that you no longer need to access online to free up space in your database. You can purge invoices, purchase orders, suppliers, and related records such as invoice payments, supplier schedules, and purchase receipts.

After a record is purged, it is no longer queryable, and the record will no longer appear on standard reports. However, the system maintains summary information of deleted records to prevent you from entering duplicate invoices or purchase orders.

Suggestion: You should create a special responsibility for purging information from Oracle Payables and Oracle Purchasing and assign this responsibility only to the person responsible for purging information from your database.
