Purging Discrete Jobs
You can use the Purge Discrete Jobs window to purge information associated with discrete jobs that were closed in a now closed accounting period. You can purge all discrete job information or just selected information: details (material requirements, resource requirements, and operations), associated ATO configurations, or associated move and/or resource cost transactions.
Before purging a job, you can view detail and ATO sales order information for that job. You can also print one or all of the reports in the Discrete Job Packet for the job. See: Current Record Indicator and Discrete Shop Packet.
