Purging Work Order History in Sage 2020

Solved

Is there a way to purge Work Order History in version 2020?  We have a client that is upgrading to version 2024.  It appears that the conversion converts the Work Order History Header and Work Order History Detail file into one file in Production Management.  This user has data dated back to 1998 in their history files.  The test conversion took a number of hours to convert their WO history files.  Just trying to figure out if there was a way to get these files smaller.

Thanks

    Hi  

    In Work Order, the way to purge the history is to use the Work Order History Report.  There should be a purge button in the top right of that screen.  There is also a Work Order Purge on the Main menu, but that only removes closed work work orders from the active tables (WO1, WO2, etc.)

    Hope this helps
