Delete Inactive Records
Before
you start
-
Print reports to check usage.
-
Assign Inactive status to all records you want to delete.
-
Make sure that the records are not used anywhere, and update dependent records if necessary.
For example, you cannot delete account sets, categories or locations that are used by items records, and you cannot delete a bill of material that is used as a component in a multi-level BOM.
To delete inactive records:
-
Open Inventory Control > I/C Periodic Processing > Delete Inactive Records.
Click here for help on Delete Inactive Records fields.
-
Select the types of inactive records to delete.
-
Enter the range of codes or numbers to delete for each record type that you selected.
-
Type the range of dates for which to delete records.
Inventory Control selects records that have a status of Inactive and a corresponding "Inactive" date within the range of dates you specify.
By default, the To date is the current session date.
If you do not want to delete all the records for the same range of inactive dates, process each set of records separately.
-
Click Process.
After
using
