Understanding the Purge EDI Files Report

After you successfully process EDI payment transactions, you can remove them from the outbound EDI tables by running the Purge EDI Files report (R47059). The system retains processed EDI payment transactions in the system 47 tables until you purge them.

When you purge outbound EDI payments, the system removes all processed records; records that have a Y in the Processed (Y/N) field (EDSP) from the following EDI payment interface tables:

  • EDI Payment Order Header - Outbound (F47056).

  • EDI Payment Order Bank N & A - Outbound (F470561).

  • EDI Payment Order Vendor N & A - Outbound (F470562).

  • EDI Payment Order Payee N & A - Outbound (F470563).

  • EDI Payment Order Remittance Advice - Outbound (F47057).

    Important: When you purge information, the system does not copy transactions to a purge table. Instead, the system deletes transactions from your system.
