Design Overview
This program purges the records from the table NWP after a certain amount of years have passed. The number of years is held in the configurable system level parameter NWP_RETENTION_PERIOD.
Restart/Recovery
Restart/recovery is not applicable, but the records will be committed based on the commit max counter setup in the restart control table.
Design Assumptions
-
NWP refers to 'Niederstwertprinzip' and is a legal German accounting financial inventory reporting requirement for calculating year-end inventory position based on the last receipt cost.
-
The NWP Indicator system parameter supports this German specific inventory reporting requirement. For German customers, this needs to be 'Y' to allow for the annual NWP calculations & processes.
-
This is not relevant for customers outside Germany.
