Purging closed layaway transactions removes closed (completed or canceled) layaway transactions from the history file. Although you are not required to do so, you might want to purge some transactions to reduce the amount of hard drive space occupied by the sales data files, and to speed up the processing time when you sort or print history reports.

To purge closed layaway transactions in the Sales module, select Period End Tasks > Purge Closed Layaways from the navigation pane.

Enter the date through which to purge canceled or completed layaways. All closed layaways dated through the date you enter here will be deleted.
