If you choose Purge Detail Only when purging sales and purchases, the detail information that was entered in the scrolling list section of the sale or purchase will be deleted; information such as ID number, date, customer or vendor name, memo, comment, salesperson will remain. Vendor invoice number for each purchase or customer purchase order number for each closed sale also will be retained. The zoom arrow that appears before journal entries for these sales and purchases will be gray. Click the zoom arrow to display the window in which the original transaction was entered; detail information mentioned above will not display. You won't be able to make any changes to this window.
If you choose Purge Entire Sale or Purge Entire Purchase, all information about the closed sales and purchases will be deleted. The journal entry will remain in the Sales or Purchases Transaction Journal window, but no zoom arrow will appear; you'll no longer be able to display the window in which the original transaction was entered.
If you purged entire closed sales or purchases and you wish to also delete the journal entries for these closed transactions from the Sales or Purchases Journal, follow the steps for To purge journal entries.
