Understanding the Cash Forecast Purge

You can run the Purge Cash Forecast Data program (R09522B) in one of two ways:

• From the Purge Cash Forecast Data menu selection.

  Use the processing options to specify the beginning and ending based-on dates on which to purge records.

• From the Refresh Cash Forecast Data program.

  Use a processing option to specify the prior number of days in which to purge records. The purge program runs before the Refresh Cash Forecast Data program refreshes the data in the table. When you run the purge program from the refresh program, you can purge records up to one day before the based-on date, but not including the based-on date.

  Note:

  If you make changes to your data and need to run the Refresh Cash Forecast Data program more than one time in a given day, you must run the Purge Cash Forecast Data program from menu G09319 before you run the refresh program again. If you do not, the program issues this error message:

  Record already exists in F09522 for based on date. Please purge the records for this date using Purge Cash Forecast Data (R09522B) and then run the refresh.

  The purge program that you run from the menu enables you to specify an ending based-on date,whereas the purge program that runs from the Refresh Cash Forecast Data program enables you to purge records only up to one day before the based-on date.
