This chapter covers the following topics:
You can purge quotes that are old, were placed as an order, and are inactive. In addition, you can delete active quotes, if required. The purge process has two steps: identify the quotes to purge and then, delete the quote and related entities. The performance of active quotes is enhanced and the space used by purged quotes becomes available for reuse. Only users with the Purge Quote security function assigned to their logged in responsibility can remove quotes.
To delete quotes, you must execute the Purge Quote concurrent program.
Prerequisites
