Understanding the Purge Programs for Sales Order Management
When data becomes obsolete or you need more disk space, you can use purge programs to remove data from tables.
The system provides purges for removing data from tables when the selection criteria must be more specific. Purges are programs that have predefined criteria that the system checks before removing any data so that you avoid removing associated data that is located in other tables.
Purging data consists of:
Specifying the information to delete.
Running the purge program.
Running the table reorganization program to rebuild the table structure.
