PO0105 Purchase Order and Receiving Purge Closed Purchase Orders
Purge Closed Purchase Orders
Application Overview
The Purge Closed Purchase Orders function deletes fully received, invoiced, or canceled orders. Those Purchase Orders that maintain an order status set of C, may also be deleted by this application. You may optionally delete orders that are not formally closed (have not had their order status changed to C), but which are eligible to be closed. This application also allows the deletion of disapproved orders that were never printed.
During the deletion process, the program posts historical information about the order to the Vendor file and the Purchase Line History file. This information is later accessed to produce the Vendor Performance Analysis Report and the Purchase Line History Report.
