Hi Carl,
My colleagues give you good advice, but if you are dead set on deleting the detail and just keeping the summary, here's how to do it:
FINANCIAL
For GL, I would run the period consolidation Routine. Essentially, this routine mashes all of the detailed transaction for the period into a single entry.
PAYABLES AND POP
Use the Utility 'Remove Transaction History', for PM transactions
Use the Utility Remove Purchasing History for POP transactions
be sure to remove the distributions as well. Remove means DELETE in this context
RECEIVABLES AND SOP
Use the Utility 'Remove Transaction History', for RM transactions
Use the Utility, Remove Sales History for SOP transactions
Use the Utility, Remove Invoice History if you use the Invoicing module.
be sure to remove the distributions as well. Remove means DELETE in this context
INVENTORY
Use the Utility 'Remove Transaction History', for IV transactions
be sure to remove the distributions as well. Remove means DELETE in this context
I think you see the pattern developing. Each module has a similar 'remove' utility.
With all of your detail removed, you must NEVER, NEVER, NEVER run the Reconcile utility on any of these modules’ history transactions. If you do, your summary balances will turn to zero.
That’s all I’ve got Carl, good luck!
Kind regards,
Leslie
