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 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.

Note: 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.
