Purging Updated EDI Transactions
Purging Updated EDI Transactions
Once the translation update programs have been run (updating the translation status flag on the transaction files to 'P'), that transaction file can be purged. The purge program will only delete records that have a translation date prior to the horizon date and have a 'P' in the Translation Status field.
Similar processing is done when purging the outbound EDI transaction files: Outbound Purchase Order Transaction files (PO630AP1-4), Outbound Sales Order Acknowledgment Transaction files (OP520AP1-2), Outbound Shipment Transaction files (OP695AP1-3), and Outbound Invoice Transaction files (OP540AP1-4). One generic set of procedures is explained below.
