Understanding Purging Interoperability Transactions

When data becomes obsolete or you need more disk space, you can use purge programs to remove data from interface tables.

After the system successfully processes either inbound warranty claims or outbound supplier recovery claims, you can use Warranty Claim/Supplier Recovery Purge (R174801Z2P) to purge the records. A processing option specifies which records the system purges.

The interoperability menu contains options for purging transactions. Use one of these purge programs to remove data from the corresponding interface tables:

• Outbound Supplier Recovery Purge (R174801Z2P)

• Inbound Warranty Claim Purge (R174801Z2P)

For records in the Processing Log table (F0046) that are marked as processed, the program purges the associated transactions in the corresponding interoperability tables, as well as the records in the F0046 table. If the records in the F0046 table are not marked as processed, the program does not purge any records.
