Purging Map Accounts

You can remove map accounts from the client file by purging them.

Purging the accounts results in smaller client files and will make some operations such as assign mapping faster and easier.

Prerequisites

Before you can purge map accounts, purge criteria must be created.

Procedure

Select Tools | Options. The Options dialog box opens.
From the Mapping area, select Purge.
Select a purge ID from the list.
Click Purge now.
Click OK in the Options dialog box. All map numbers matching the filter expression in the selected purge criteria are removed permanently from the client file.

Notes:

Map accounts with adjustments will not be deleted; a log file with this information will display after the purge is run.
Accounts assigned to purged map accounts will be unassigned; a log file with this information will display after the purge is run.
The purged account numbers may only be added back using a mechanism such as copy components.
