Purpose
The RMAREC.P2 procedure is used to purge inactive RMA receipts from the
database. The criteria used to deterime which records are purged is based a
user defined cut-off date. All RMA receipts which have a post date that is
less than or equal to the cut-off date will be deleted.
Frequency of Use
The frequency with which a purge is performed will vary depending on such
factors as available disk space and the amount of on-line history desired. At
a minimum purges should be performed on a yearly basis. Purging on a quarterly
or even a monthly basis may be desirable if the volume of transactions is
fairly high.
Prerequisites
It is strongly recommended that a full account backup be performed prior to
executing any purge process. It is also recommended that this be a permanent
backup so that any records which were purged can be restored at a later date
if required.
