Overview of Discrete Job Purge
You can purge discrete job information using Purge Discrete Jobs (Form) and Purge Discrete Jobs (SRS). You can purge all information associated with discrete jobs including job header records and job detail and transaction information. You can also selectively purge some or all of the following job related information: job details (material requirements, resource requirements, and operations), ATO configurations, move transactions, and resource cost transactions. Selective purging allows you to retain pertinent historical information. For example, you can retain operation information but purge move transactions associated with these operations.
Purge Rules
A discrete job may not purge if the any of the following information still exists:
- material transactions that reference the job
You can purge material and completion transaction information in Oracle Inventory. See: Purge Transactions.
- purchase transactions, purchase requisitions, or purchase orders that reference the job in Oracle Purchasing
- quality results records that reference the job
Reporting
You can submit a request to print a Purge Report as you purge discrete jobs. When you printed a report as part of the purge process, the output of the report is determined by the defaulted purge parameters used and the level of detail choosen (Full, Summary, or Excepting) in the Purge Options window.
The Purge Report can also be submitted independently of the purge process using the Submit Requests window. When submitted independently of the purge process, only the jobs and/or schedules that failed to purge are listed.
