In recent experience, when purging remittances you can't actually choose a specific range of remits to purge, it just does everything that's been printed (to my knowledge). So I was hoping to purge really old remittances and ended up purging all of them…
I have just run a purge in Sage 50 2023 and many of the records were not purged because the records contained Serialized Stock Items. Since we serialize stock items we sell, this means a lot of our records are affected. Is there any way that old old records…
Hopefully you all know about and use the "Performance index" (AIOBENCH) feature to monitor your system performance. (Development, Utilities, Verifications, Performance index)
Whilst it is useful to be able to review the old data as a comparison to more…
When purging vendors one of the criterions of a vendor not being purged is payments. Is payments and Bill/Pay Bills the same when purging? I know the process is different, but I am not sure if it applies as the same when purging files.
I need to purge several companies that are historic and/or were test companies. These companies do not have existing transactions. I know there were issues with the Purge functions that would allow me to do this. Are these working again in version 2019…

A customer of mine will be migrating to v12 shortly and asked about purging old data from the database…
Hi all,
I have check on the documentation. but there is no guide to do archive and purge transactions programmatically. What I want to do is to select specific transactions by item code, and archive & purge these transaction, and delete the item code…
Update 28/02/23 : The recommendation is to run a "complete" archive (for example : PCECPT, SINVOICE, PAYMENTH, GACCENTRY, BALANCE, HISTODUD) and the behaviour seems correct in CONSBAH in SEED and HSEED folder. To be clearly documented in the near future…

Hello,
Long story short I am purging closed clients and it's going unbelievably slowly.
I am trying to purge the database from everything from our closed clients. When I run the purge, I select "Closed" clients and nothing else, no other filters…
I am starting the process of purging data from our company. This is the guide that I'm following: www.connerash.com/.../Sage100History-HowToPurge.pdf
One thing I have noticed after purging records from AR, IM, and SO, is that there are tables that are…
When I set a client/matter as Closed and then use the Purge tool, it certainly seems like the client/matter is gone, but is it still in the database, just marked as something else. OR does it get completely removed from the database?
Thanks
Hello,
We are looking to remove some data from the "Customer Maintenance" screen as some customers take roughly 30 seconds to load all of their history. I am specifically talking about records under tab 6 "Invoices", and tab 7 "Transactions".

I am hoping for some insight. We have been experiencing slow downs of epic proportions within Sage 50 lately. We have data going all the way back to 2007 and our database is sitting at about 1.6 GB on a network. I decided to create a new "TEST" company…
We've only recently begun using this section, but there's an option to print remittances from YEARS ago!
I want to clear these from the list so it's tidier and also doesnt take a few minutes to run every time as it's searching all records.
I don't…

It appears to me that the size of my Timeslips backup file remains the same after purging several years of slips, clients and other items. I expected the backup file size to be reduced after purging items from the database. Is my expectation incorrect…
I have 1700+ inventory items that will not purge dating to 2005. I have checked many of them and it is not because there are transactions past the thru-date. I have read through all other related questions here and can confirm that these items DO meet…
We have a few old PO's that aren't purging. They are closed, but if you access them in PO Entry MAS says "A receipt of goods is currently referencing this purchase order." This message is in error.

Sounds like you may want to check the purge log to see if the accounts actually purged. Once an account is truly purged, it no longer shows in the program. Any record with balance will not be purged.
