Understanding the Purge of Statistical History

When you run the Statistical Purge Repost program, the system:

  • Removes records from the F03B16 table based on the data selection.

    Important: Because the F03B16 table comprises company-specific totals and totals for all companies (company 00000), do not use Company in the data selection.

  • Resets the value of the A/R Post to Cash Management field (ISTC) from 1 to 0 in the F03B11 invoice records and the F03B14 receipt records. Because changes to invoices are reflected in the F03B11 table, the system does not reset the value of the ISTC field in records in the F03B112 table.

You purge F03B16 records when you want to start over, perhaps due to a change in the processing options. After the system removes the information from the F03B16 table and resets the status of the ISTC field, the program automatically reruns the version of the Statistics History Update program (R03B16A) if specified in the processing options. Therefore, if you specify a version in the processing options of the Statistical Purge Repost program, you must have the processing options set correctly for the Statistics History Update program before you run the purge and repost. The system recalculates information in the F03B16S table based on the new values that it generates for the F03B16 table.
