Customer Purge (AR301)

Run Customer Purge (AR301) to delete all customers assigned to a specific company or customer group from the Lawson Accounts Receivable system. Any related customer audit records are also deleted.

You can run AR301 to delete customers or to set a customer's status to D (eligible for deletion).

The report creates a listing of deleted customers or customers you set for deletion. You have the option to archive deleted records to disk. The output file contains the information included in the listing.

Caution:

This program permanently deletes data. Before you run this program, back up your data according to your organization's procedures. Before you submit the report, carefully review the parameters.

Processing effect

If you want to archive records to disk, select Yes in the Archive Records field. AR301 generates a comma-separated value (CSV) file in the $LAWDIR/productline/work/PUREXXX-FILE directory (UNIX) or the /LAWDIR/productline/work/PUREXXX-FILE directory (IBM i) where XXX is the three character file prefix for each file you select for purging. The filename becomes the jobname.date time (MMDDHHMMSSSS). For example, a file name run on July 28th would be AR301PROD.072812392145
