Understanding the OVFS Purge Process

When you generate financial statements, the system populates and clears the worktables used for the OVFS process. Generally, you do not need to purge the workfiles because the process clears the workfiles at the end of the process.

If the generation of a financial statement ends abnormally, such as might occur with a power interruption, you can purge the workfiles to remove records that were written to the workfiles, but not cleared from the system at the end of the process.

You use the OVFS Work Table Purge program (P09300P) to purge records from the workfiles.

Caution: Do not run the purge process while users are on the system.
