Purging Sold To Customers

Purpose: Use the PURGECS Purge Sold To Customers periodic function (program name PFR0137) to purge eligible sold to customers.

Which customers are purged? For the customer to be eligible for purge, the system verifies that:

• the last change date for the customer is older than the number of days defined in the periodic function’s Parameter field. If the Parameter is blank or 0, records must be 365 days old to be eligible for purge.

• there are no unpurged orders for the customer.

• the customer does not exist in the Customer Fraud table.

• there are no open refunds for the customer.

• there are no open returns for the customer.

• there are no open ticklers for the customer.

• there are no catalog requests for the customer.

• there are no active or in-process memberships for the customer.

• there are no open purchase orders for the customer.

Once the purge completes, the system generates the Purged Customer List, listing the sold to customers that were removed.

The system writes processing details to the Trace log.

Purging an individual customer:

• To purge an individual sold to customer, use the Delete option in Creating and Updating Sold-to Customers (WCST).

• To purge an individual ship to customer, use the Delete option in Creating and Updating Sold-to Customers (WCST).

• To purge an individual bill to customer, use the Delete option in Creating and Updating Bill-to Customers (WCBT).

Updated tables: See the Tables Updated during Customer Purge for a listing of the tables purged through the PURGECS Purge Customers periodic function (program name PFR0137).

Before you purge customers:

• Use the Purge Catalog Request History (PCRH) menu option to delete outdated records from the Catalog Request History table.

• Use the Deleting All Printed Catalog Requests (DCAT) menu option to delete printed catalog requests.

• Use the PURGEOR Purge Orders periodic function (program name PFR0114) to purge orders that are closed or canceled. See Purging Orders (MPOR) for processing details.
