Understanding Work Order Purges

You can purge work orders from the system to free space and to make the system operate more efficiently. After you purge a work order, it no longer exists in the system.

When you run the Work Order Purge program, you use data selection to specify which work orders to purge from the Work Order Master File table (F4801) and the Work Order Instructions File table (F4802). Work orders must have a status of Complete before you can purge them.
