Purging the Rebate Detail File

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.
