Re: ACP PURGE

["Tony Cregg" <tony.cregg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This option also appears through to version 6 as well.

However, the description is misleading to say the least!

>From the help text:

"....An unreconciled payment is a payment for which the
amount paid differs from the amount cleared by the bank--as recorded
when you run Bank Statement Posting (ACP710).
The payments themselves are not purged, simply the record of their
"unreconciled" status.  Any
unreconciled payments thus purged will no longer be available for bank
reconciliation through the Bank Statement Posting program - ACP710."

"Unreconciled" in this case does not refer to status 'Active', so the status
must be 'R' (reconciled through bank statement posting) before it is
eligible for purging.

I should add that I do not think the ACP710 program the most simple to use
when you have a large volume of data.  At some clients, we utilise some
simple SQL updates to flag payment header records as status 'R' if they are
beyond an agreed cut-off date.  The standard BPCS ACP900 will then purge
related invoice records, etc..
