The Purge utility deletes non-job related detail from the Job Transaction Open file. The Purge utility decreases the time required to print reports that use both sorting options and the Job Transaction Open file.
Note: Back up your data before purging the files. Make sure no one is logged in to Microsoft Dynamics GP when you purge Job Cost data files. If other users are logged in, an alert message appears, and the purge process will not run to completion.
- Choose Signature Utilities > File Maintenance Utilities > Job Cost > Purge.
- A message appears asking if you want to proceed. Choose Proceed.
