Daily Purge Report
A regularly scheduled batch program deletes records that you have marked for deletion for certain entities in Merchandising, such as items. These entities typically have a large number of dependencies and therefore require more extensive validation to determine if they can be deleted. Some records may not be able to be deleted based on these dependencies and issues found when deleting records are displayed in this report, based on the DAILY_PURGE_ERROR_LOG.
To view the daily purge report, from the task bar, select Reports > Daily Purge . The Daily Purge Report appears.
1. From the Tasks menu, select Reports > Daily Purge . The Daily Purge Report window appears.
