Run Work Order Purge (WO300) to delete work order information for work orders that have been canceled or completed, and the work order information is no longer needed for inquiry or reporting purposes.

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

More Information

Work order information can be deleted for a production facility. You must type a cutoff date which is used to select work orders to be purged. Work orders with a production end date equal to or before the typed cutoff date will be selected.

Optionally, you may choose to delete work order detail only, if there is a period of time that you still want access to some work order information but do not need details for bin, lot, serial number, or multiple unit of measure tracked items used in or produced by work orders.

Optionally, you can also create archive files of work orders selected.

There is also an update option that lets you run the program without purging the work order information if you just want a listing and / or archive files. This is accomplished by selecting No for this option.

To get a list of completed and canceled work orders, run work order audit before purging.
