Purge Journals

Use the Purge Journals utility to delete journal transaction records.

Enter or select a specific Journal and inclusive cutoff date (before which transactions are to be deleted).

The Journals are:

• AP Dist - Accounts Payable Ledger Distribution
• AR Dist - Accounts Receivable Ledger Distribution
• BNK Dist - Banking Distribution
• CO Dist - Order Entry Ledger Distribution
• FA Dist - Fixed Assets Ledger Distribution
• FS Dist - SyteLine Service Distribution
• General - General Journal
• IC Dist - Inventory Control Ledger Distribution
• Multi-Site - Multi-Site Journal
• PC Dist - Project Control Ledger Distribution
• PO Dist - Purchasing Ledger Distribution
• PR Dist - Payroll Ledger Distribution
• SF Dist - Shop Floor Control Ledger Distribution
• WC Dist - Work Center Ledger Distribution

NOTE: The Inventory Distribution Journal is no longer used, but remains for backward compatibility. It has been replaced by the CO Distribution, IC Distribution, PO Distribution, and SF Distribution Journals.

You can also purge user-defined journals.

If the Purge Journals utility is run as a background task, the date up to which journals are deleted is displayed in the Background Task History task parameters.
