You use the A/P Clear Statistics screen to remove obsolete vendor period statistics and vendor group period statistics data from your Accounts Payable system.
Note: To clear activity statistics, you use the A/P Year End screen. For more information, see Starting a New Fiscal Year.
Before you start
- Post all outstanding batches that could affect records you want to clear.
- Determine the fiscal year and period through which to clear statistics.
-
Print reports of the data you want to clear.
For example, before clearing statistics for vendors or vendor groups, print the statistical report for the type of information you plan to clear, specifying a year/period range and a range of vendors.
-
Check the reports to be sure you are clearing the statistics you intended to clear, then file them as permanent records of the information.
