Delete Material Transactions

Use this utility to purge material transactions. Material transactions are used to create an audit trail and have no affect on any other part of the system.

Material transactions can be kept as long as you wish, but each transaction takes up disk space. We recommend that you perform delete material transactions as part of the year-end procedures. Before deleting the transactions, you should run the Material Transactions Report to preserve the audit trail.

This utility will not remove transaction records created by:

Just-In-Time (JIT) Production Transactions
Production Schedule Complete Transactions
Production Schedule Scrap Transactions
Work Center Labor Transactions
Work Center Machine Time Transactions
Work Center Material Transactions

You must run Delete End of Period Costing Transactions to delete these material transactions.

Caution: When a material transaction is deleted, references to that transaction from any ledger or journal records will be cleared. If you then try to view detail on a ledger or journal previously referenced to the deleted material transaction record, the system will display a message saying that the record is not available.
