Understanding Cost Analyzer Balances Purge

To free up disk space or improve performance, you can delete old views or fiscal years that are no longer in use by purging records from the F1602 table. If view specifications change or errors occur during the posting process, you can use this program to purge the information before re-posting transactions to a specific view. This program also unlocks the view to allow changes and resets the posted flag in the F0911 table if desired.

If you set a processing option to bypass clearing the cost management posted code, you cannot regenerate transactions for the view. To recreate balances, you must do the following:

• Using the Post to Cost Analyzer Balances program (R1602), create a new record in the view for a new transaction in the F0911 table.

• Rerun the purge program and leave the Bypass Update processing option blank.

The system clears the posted code on the new transaction as well as all prior transactions, thus enabling you to re-post the view for all transactions.
