The Rebate Detail file stores data for the Customer Sales Rebate Report when you run the report using the Book Letter of Credit option, which automatically creates a purchase order for the requested rebate. Use the Purge Rebate Detail utility to purge canceled purchase orders.
We recommend purging the Rebate Detail file once a month. Use the scheduler to purge this file on a regular basis.
To purge the rebate detail file:
From the Maintenance > Merge/Purge menu, select Purge Rebate Detail File to display the Purge Rebate Detail File screen.
Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.
In the Purge Rebate Detail File as of field, enter the date on or before which the system purges all canceled purchase orders.
For example, if you enter 10/01/2002, the system purges all canceled purchase orders created on or before October 1, 2002.
Use one of the following hot keys to run the purge:
Begin Purge - Purges the expired rebate detail information.
Scheduling - Schedules the purge to run at another time.
The system returns you to the Merge/Purge menu. When the purge completes, the system sends you a message.
