Chapter 136: Purging Correspondence History (MPCH)

Purpose: Use this menu option to purge email correspondence history created before a specific date. You might want to use this menu option to conserve disk space if the Correspondence History and Correspondence History Detail files are large.

The system uses the creation date to determine the age of the email rather than the sent date.

Correspondence history related to open or held orders is not purged, regardless of date.
