You can purge work orders from your system to free space and to make your system operate more efficiently.

When you run the Purge Orders program, you use data selection to specify which work orders to purge from the Work Order Master table (F4801). In addition, the system purges related information from the following tables for the work orders that you select:

  • Work Order Instructions (F4802)

  • Work Order Parts List (F3111)

  • Work Order Routing Instructions (F3112)

  • Work Order Time Transactions (F31122) that are not used by Equipment/Plant Maintenance

  • Work Order Approvals (F4828)

You can use processing options to save purged work order information in a special purge library.

When you choose Purge Orders, a versions list appears. The versions list includes DEMO versions that you can run or copy and modify to suit your needs. When you run a version, Processing Options Revisions appears before the system submits the job for processing.
