Program VEIP, Vendor/Item History Purge, is used to purge vendor and item history records. These records can be deleted by date or by volume. For example, you could purge all historical data for purchase orders that were last active before the date entered, or you could choose to retain a certain number of the most recent records.
Use program VEIM, Vendor/Item History Maintenance, to delete individual records.
1. Enter the purge parameters. You can purge by date, or by the number of records to retain.
2. To purge by date, in the Purge Item Vendor History Earlier than field, enter the desired date. The program will purge all vendor/item history that occurs before, but not including, the date you enter here.
3. To retain a certain number of records, in the OR, Number of records to retain is field, enter the number of records that you wish to retain. The program will retain this number from the most recently entered records.
4. Set the Archive Purged Records flag to the desired setting. When this flag is set to on, the purged records will be stored in the archived table.
5. Press the [Purge History] button.
Press this button to purge vendor and item history records.
