Purpose

Every transaction made by every employee is kept in the system. Eventually, the transaction table can become quite large. Purging should be done periodically, preferably after year-end to remove these historical transactions.

WARNING: It is STRONGLY recommended that you backup your database before purging. Records will be permanently deleted and can only be recovered from the backup.

Note: Only employees with a job type of System Maintenance can initiate a database purge.
