System Processing Improved Performance with Obsolete Logistic Records and MRP Planning Records Cleanup Tool

Logistic processes in Exact Globe generate MRP planning records. Examples of logistic processes are sales orders, blanket sales orders, return to merchant authorization (RMA) orders, purchase orders, blanket purchase orders, return to vendor (RTV) orders, interbranch transfers, and quotations.

In order to enhance the performance of the administration, these obsolete logistics and planning records are best deleted.
