Purge history to remove unwanted transactions with a transaction date older than and including the purge date you specify. Open items (items with amounts remaining) are not affected by this process. You might want to purge history to reduce the amount of computer hard disk space the Accounts Receivable history data files occupy or to speed up processing time when you sort or print customer history.

Before you begin this process, refer to Preparing for Period End for important information about period-end processing.

In Accounts Receivable, select Period End Tasks > Purge Customer Transaction History from the left navigation pane and enter a purge date. All customer transaction details on and before the purge date will be purged. Select OK to process.
