Inventory Retention

The Inventory Retention option removes the detail work orders, inventory transfers, and adjustment transactions based on the number of retention periods established in Retention Options.

The Inventory Retention process will run as part of the Close End of Day (EOD) process if the user answers yes to the run retention prompt when running EOD. It can also be run manually from the menu by selecting Inventory Retention.

The retention process requires exclusive use of all files. All users must be completely logged out of Net•Yield for the retention process to be run.

It is highly recommended that you create a backup of the databases before running Inventory Retention. The backup should be saved to an archive file so that the data may be accessed in the future.

1. When you enter Inventory Retention the current retention periods are displayed (as defined in Retention Options) along with the warning "Requires exclusive use of files!!!" The following message will also display: "Continue with retention processing? No/Yes."

• Select no to abort the retention process.
• Select yes to proceed with the retention process.

2. The system will delete all records older than the settings defined in Retention Options, except for lotted items which are detailed via Lot Retention.
