Title: AM-J purge old checks
Post by Laura Oliver on 02/15/18 at 16:16:17

We are now using the same check numbers that we used in 1998. I was thinking about using AM-J so that I wouldn't see the older checks number when I go to void option. But I am scared. I do need recall. Just last week I search and found a payment from 2004 so that we could reorder.

2 FEARS:
If I purge (archive) thru AM-J what will I be able to see of the old stuff? I often need to see old stuff. I know I can restore, but I don't want to be doing that too much.
I also read that purging thru AM-J often causes you to have to re-index.

Thanks
Laura

Regardless or resources, 40 minutes is way too long. Use AM-J and archive AP history. Seriously, once the invoice is paid, when was the last time you had to go back to something more than 6 months old? You probably have 10-15 years or more worth of data in there. If you ever do need to research something that has been archived, AP-R Payment History Report can access the archived data.

ARCHIVE, do not purge. Then you can look at it in AP-R selecting the Archived data if need be. There is no risk because you are not deleting anything.
