The Rebuild Purchase History option recreates the vendor purchasing history file based on completed purchase orders. The purchase history includes the item group, item name, last purchase date, last received quantity and unit of measure (UOM), last purchase price and UOM, and the vendor yield for the items purchased from the vendor.
The purchasing history file is used in purchase orders to allow the user to select–from history– the items purchased from a particular vendor based on the history of prior purchases from the vendor.
When you first enter the Rebuild Purchase History option the following message will appear: "This process requires the exclusive use of the VIHX File. Continue? No/Yes."
Note: The Rebuild Purchase History option can be run during the Close End of Day process. The number of days of completed purchase orders to use to create the vendor purchase history is set in Retention Options.
