After you've used MYOB BusinessBasics for a long time, you'll notice that the size of your company file has grown considerably. Information such as journal entriesand invoices build up over time. When your company file has grown larger than you want it to, you may want to remove the parts of the data that are no longer needed from the file. The process of removing data from your company file is called purging.
| Note: Purging is based on your current fiscal year setup
When you select the month before which you want to purge, BusinessBasics checks the current fiscal year of your company file and uses the selected month of your current fiscal year as the basis for deciding which transactions to purge. Before you purge, check the current fiscal year of your company file using the Company Information window. |
When you purge information from your records, you should plan out a strategy to do so. We strongly recommend that you purge your information in the following order:
To purge closed invoices
To purge journal entries
