RE: Accounts Receivable purging.

[vincent.byrne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Below is a copy of a reply I sent on a related matter previously:-

We are also on BPCS CD REL02 and also have our parameters set to 365 days.
We run ACR900 with a 'Close Through Date of 99/99/99' and it does physically
remove a chunk of the RARs at each month-end.
ACR900 marks with Z all the items to be closed but only the Z records closed
for over '365' days are removed. See the ACR900 help screen for a full
explanation.
I had a look at our RAR and almost all Z records are less that 365 days old.
The ones older than 365 days appear to relate to RCMs that have been
deleted, so there is possibly an anomaly here.

        Dear friends,   (BPCS v.6.1.01, OSv4r3)

        Hello,

        For A/R, what all factors are considered for purging
        at the month end.  For eg. I know, it checks for no.
        of days in the System parameters.

        Upon running ACR900, how does the RAR file is dealt
        with.  Does the program purges all the ZI,ZP,ZC,ZD
        type of records over no. of days specified, and what
        other factors are taken into account for purging
        especially at the record level.

        For eg.  If there is a settled invoice (ZI) which has
        crossed the no. of day specified and it has payment,
        already reconciled with the above invoice and is yet
        to reach the retention period( days specified), what
        will happen to this payment record ? I am sure it will
        purge the settled Invoice record.  Are there any other
        flags on the RAR file which are also checked at the
        time of purging.

        Could anybody pass a comment on this.

        Thanx in advance.

        Feroz Khan.
