I ran the Purge History function in PO (8.1C 130722.) Curiously, the appropriate documents were deleted from "Receipts Primary Vendor" history but in "Receipts All Vendors" history the documents remained (were not deleted.) I ran it again with the same date and no documents were purged.
Our PO interfaces with AP 8.1E/IC 8.1D/OE 8.1F Cannot do full DIC until later but I am hoping for suggestions as to options/settings etc. of which I am unaware.
Thanks

Hi Jody,

In order to purge history in PO, the entire 'set' of documents (PO/Receipt/Invoice) must be older than the specified date in order to be purged. If the PO and Receipt are older but the Invoice is not (for example) then the documents will not be cleared.

The two different Receipts tabs are based on different data files in PO (the Primary vendor list is the Header file, and the All Vendors is the Totals file). I could not replicate the problem you indicated with sample data. My suspicion is that the History Header file was purged for you, but not the History Totals file. There may be a network or environment situation that you may want to investigate with your Adagio consultant. Also it would be good to know the results of the DIC - I suspect that orphaned Totals records will be found, and Rebuild will remove them, and of course doa backup of the data before ever performing a Rebuild.

The DIC and Rebuild did not fix this. I suspect it could have something to do with the change in directories that came with the PO upgrade. Is it possible to export the history to Excel, delete the unwanted details, and import it back into PO, overriding existing data and replacing it with the adjusted import data? If so, I would need a few pointers, but would like the chance to familiarize myself with this function.
