Purging Closed Work Orders

This section discusses how to purge closed work orders.

Select Shop Floor Management Advanced (G3131), Purge Orders.

You can increase the processing speed of the system and create more storage space for current data by deleting old or inaccurate information from the system. When you use the purge programs in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne CAM, you can purge entire tables or specific data within tables. You can also archive the information that you purge.

You can purge work orders from the system to free space and make the system operate more efficiently. After you purge a work order, it no longer exists in the system.

The Work Order Purge program (R4801P) deletes the work order records that you specify, including any associated record types and approval records. The program does not create a purge table or a report.

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

• Work Order Instructions File (F4802).

• Work Order Parts List (F3111).

• Work Order Routing (F3112).

• Work Order Time Transactions (F31122).

  The system purges only the records that are not used by CAM.

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