If you choose Purge Detail Only when purging sales, the detail information that was entered in the scrolling list section of the sale will be deleted; information such as ID number, date, customer name, memo, comment will remain. Customer purchase order number for each closed sale also will be retained. The zoom arrow that appears before journal entries for these sales 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, all information about the closed sales will be deleted. The journal entry will remain in the Sales 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 and you wish to also delete the journal entries for these closed transactions from the Sales Journal, follow the steps for To purge journal entries.
