Printing / Purging a Message Log

Purging clears message logs of their entries. Entries remain in any message log until it is purged. Message logs must be printed before being purged, so the purge utility is part of the printing process.

If you post a change list and there are errors, the error log must be purged before you can post another change list.

The following procedure can be used to both print and purge any message log. You can review a message log before printing using Print Preview.

To print / purge a message log:

1. Open Accounts Payable > Vendor Number Change > Vendor Number Change.
2. On either the Toolbar or the View menu, click Message Log.

   The Message Log screen appears.

3. Click a log tab.
4. On the File menu, click Print / Clear.

   Tip: As an alternative to the steps above, you can click a message log in the Print / Clear option on the File menu of the Vendor Number Change screen.

   The Print screen appears.

5. Specify print settings, and then click OK.

   After printing is complete, the Log Purge screen appears.

6. If the message log printed correctly, click Yes to proceed with the purge. Otherwise, click No so you can reprint the message log.
