Help:AR1-Purge AR By Last Date
This window titled Purge A/R Master File by Last Date enables you to remove old historical entries from the accounts receivable master file which have a last activity date on or prior to the cutoff date entered. This option will not remove any A/R files which have an outstanding balance due. Removing historical data is part of maintaining your data. How long you keep historical data active on the computer is up to your specific needs.

Important: IMPORTANT: BEFORE you perform any purging process, you should do a complete backup of all MoverBiz data files. If you happen to make an error in the purging process, then this backup will be the only way you will be able to restore the erroneously purged records. |
