RE: Deleting IMHIST CU transactions

["Ann Neal" <aneal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joan,

We used to delete all the IX transactions, too (uncontrolled floorstock).
No one was ever going to do research on how many nuts, bolt and washers per
truck we built.   We had a vendor come in a fill the bins and kept  watch on
$$ since we had enough history before setting them up as vendor managed
parts.  Deleting those helped keep our IMHIST file-size manageable.

just do it...........
No guts no glory...
