Purge Cycle Counts

Use the Purge Cycle Count process to remove cycle count records from the database.

Purging a cycle count removes all related objects such as schedules, count sequences, count classes, items, and so forth. You can purge cycle counts using the Manage Cycle Counts page or the Scheduled Processes work area.

Purge Using Manage Cycle Counts Page

To purge cycle counts using the Manage Cycle Counts page:

1. Select Manage Cycle Counts from the Counts task list in the Inventory Management work area.

2. Search for and select a cycle count.

3. Select Purge Cycle Count from the Actions menu.

4. In the Purge Cycle Count dialog box, decide whether or not to select the Include Count Definition check box.

   When you select this option, the process deletes all data for the complete cycle count from the database. If you don't select this option, only the count sequences are deleted.

5. Enter a date in the Purge Information Before field. For example, if you enter November 1, 2019, the process purges all cycle counts prior to this date.

6. Optionally, select a value for the Purge Count Sequences field. You can choose to purge the cycle counts:

   • Purge all count sequences

   • Purge only count sequences with errors

   You can also choose to leave this field blank.
