Purpose: Use this screen to define the number of days from the last transaction date that a closed or canceled order will be eligible for deletion through the order purge program.
Number field: Enter the number of days from the last transaction date on a closed (shipped) or canceled order after which the order will be eligible for deletion through the Purging Orders (MPOR) option or through the PURGEOR periodic function.
The system checks the Order Transaction History table for the last transaction date, which may be the date the order was canceled or when the last shipment on the order occurred. The system adds the order purge days to the last transaction date to determine when the order can be purged. See the Display Order History Screen.
Example: An order was canceled on 3/01 and the Order Purge Days system control value is set to 120 (approximately 4 months). The order will be eligible for purging on 6/29.
This system control value does not control when you can delete individual orders through the Purge Orders by Order Number (MORP) option.
See Purging Orders (MPOR) for more information on purging orders.
