Purge and archive data

Before data can be purged, archived, and restored, this setup must be completed:

Create two archive configuration records in Administration Console.
See Infor Landmark Technology Library (Cloud) and select Administration > System Administration > Purging and Archiving Procedures > Enabling the archive feature
Run the Project Capitalization Upgrade action and provide a Purge Cutoff Date in the finance enterprise group.

Caution: Auto-sequencing is used in business classes, such as PayablesInvoice. When a new record is created, the next sequential number is assigned to the business class. If a recent purge cutoff date is included in the finance enterprise group, the latest record is purged. The result is a duplicate key error when a new record is created because the sequence will restart from zero.

To mitigate this issue, do not provide a recent purge cutoff date.

To verify the full list of purge programs in FSM, see the Financials and Supply Management Analytics and Reports User Guide and select Report types and options > Standard application reports and lists > Purge programs.
