Purging TAC Suspense Files and Messages

This section provides an overview of the purge process and discusses how to purge suspense data.

Specify which TAC suspense file records to purge, and do the actual purging on the TAC Purge Parameters page. You can also purge TAC messages in this process. If you want to perform an analysis on your processing, perhaps at the end of a year, do not purge your messages with this process. Instead, purge them later, when you no longer need to view them.
