Purge Inventory Balance Messages

Use the Purge Inventory Balance Messages scheduled process to purge all successful or error inventory balance records received from sources like the Inventory Balance Message Import file-based data import (FBDI) or the Inventory Balance Transactions REST resource.

Inventory balance messages are created when you interface the inventory balance data using the above FBDI or REST resources and the record is loaded to the Interface tables. After processing, data is loaded to the inventory base tables. It’s recommended to periodically purge the data for better performance.

When to Use

Use the Purge Inventory Balance Messages process to purge all successful or error inventory balance records received from sources like REST or FBDI. For example, you can purge inventory balance messages by providing the organization code as a mandatory input parameter. In addition, you can also purge the inventory balance records by specifying the processing status or message dates. You can purge the error records older than one year, one month, or one week. You can also purge both successful and error records in a specific date range.
