Clear Consignment Files (IC89)

Notes:

1. You may want to keep the zero balance records on the file if you wish to retain the movement of stock in and out of consignment. However, most Enterprise users prefer to keep this consignment inventory file as clean and up-to-date as possible. Therefore we recommended that this program be run periodically (monthly) to clear the file with zero quantity balances.

2. If the quantity is zero, then that means the consignment has been successfully completed, i.e. sold to the consignee, or returned back into stock with a credit. Therefore these zero quantity transactions have no further use.

The following list defines every field in IC89:

• Purge Date - enter or select from the query the desired purge date. All eligible records are purged up to the specified date for the range of entered customers.

• Start at Cust - enter or select from the query the Customer code at which to start the purge. If you leave this field blank the purge starts at the beginning of the customer file.

• End at Cust - enter or select from the query the Customer code at which to end the purge. If you leave this field blank the purge ends at the end of the customer file.

The following table outlines the functionality of each button on IC89:

Button Label	Icon	Functionality
Start Purge		Initiates the purge for the selected customer range up to the entered Purge Date.
Cancel		Closes IC89 without starting the purge.
