Use the Clear Statistics form to remove obsolete data from your Accounts Payable system. You can clear ranges of the following information:

  • Vendor period statistics.
  • Vendor group period statistics.

Note that the Clear Statistics form clears period statistics, not activity statistics. Activity statistics are kept only for the current year to date and the previous year, and are cleared by the Year End form (with the current-year statistics becoming the previous-year statistics).

Before you start

  • Post all outstanding batches that could affect records you want to clear.
  • Determine the fiscal year and period through which to clear statistics.
  • Print reports of the data you want to clear. For example:
  • Before clearing statistics for vendors or vendor groups, print the statistical report for the type of information you plan to clear. Specify the year and period you plan to clear in the To fields for the Year and Period options. Specify the range of vendor numbers or vendor group codes to clear.

Check the reports to be sure you are clearing the statistics you intended to clear, then file them as permanent records of the information.

To use the Clear Statistics form

  1. Select the types of records you want to clear.
  2. Select the range of vendors for which you want to clear statistics.
  3. Type the fiscal year and period for which to clear.
  4. Choose Process.

After using

Check that data was cleared properly.
