Delete archived purchase orders and returns

If required, you can permanently remove your archived purchase orders and returns from Sage 200.

You may need to do this to improve the processing speed of the SOP and POP modules. Depending on your disk space you may need to do this annually, quarterly or even on a monthly basis.

Orders and returns are removed by the date of the order or return. Associated invoices and credit notes are also removed.

This process is not reversible and your orders and returns are permanently removed. Once removed, the orders and returns will not be available to view on any reports in Sage 200.

To delete archived purchase orders and returns

Open: Purchase Order Processing > POP Utilities > File Maintenance > Purge Archived POP Orders and Returns.

1. Specify the age range of archived transactions to be removed in the date up to box.
2. Click OK.
