Help:JM1-Remove Jobs Job Number
This option allows you to remove one or more old jobs by Job Number. This purging should be performed periodically to remove from the computer all of the jobs which are too old to be of any use. It allows you to remove the Job Cost Detail only and retain the Job Cost Master File information, or it allows you to remove both.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE you perform any purging process, you should do a complete backup of all IBS 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.
[ Beginning Job Number ] Enter the Beginning Job Number in the range of jobs you wish to remove. NOTE: Beginning Job Number and Ending Job Number may be the same number if you only wish to remove one job.
[ Ending Job Number ] Enter the Ending Job Number in the range of jobs you wish to remove. NOTE: Beginning Job Number and Ending Job Number may be the same number if you only wish to remove one job.
NOTE: All job numbers including the Beginning Job Number entered through the Ending Job Number entered will be removed. There is no way to have this process skip over any job number within the designated range. So be very careful when you designate this Beginning Job Number and Ending Job Number.
[ Remove Detail Only ] If you wish to only remove the Job Cost Detail information, then place a check mark in this box. If you wish to remove both the Master record as well as the Detail, then leave this box blank. To place the check mark, move your mouse cursor to this box & left-click your mouse one time or Tab to this box and press the space bar on your keyboard.
