Purge Unprocessed Records
Use the Purge Unprocessed Records scheduled process to purge temporary, unprocessed data from Supply Chain Collaboration after a defined period.
Unprocessed data includes any forecasts and request status details, as well as unprocessed collaboration relationship candidates, for a specified Supply Plan or all plans in the Supply Chain Collaboration interface tables. Additional purged data includes previous cycle forecasts data, if there is a previous cycle without a matching current cycle and if it's older than a specific number of days.
These configuration parameters are used to purge data records after a specified number of days, and can be modified to suit your needs:
- SUPPLY_PLANNING_FORECASTS_INTERFACE_DATA_RETENTION_DAYS
- SUPPLY_PLANNING_CONVERTED_CANDIDATES_RETENTION_DAYS
