The Purge Data utility feature is a powerful tool that enables you to clear specific data regarding the Win Accounting Stock Control Module
Purging data will influence your accounting reports, as well as accounting information, so it's important to understand the specific reasons for using this feature
It's recommended to make use of the Backup Stock Control* feature before running any of the Purge Data options, as this will enable you to revert back, should any incorrect data be mistakenly purged
Once data has been purged, restoring a backup is the only way to undo the data removal
This is an advanced, specialised option - Win Accounting cannot be held liable for any data loss brought about through the Purge Data feature
Purge Stock History
This utility feature can be run if you wish to reset all stock-related details for a specific period - or ALL Stock History for a selected company
Note: Purging Stock History data will influence your Accounting Reports
Select your desired period to purge, or select "All Periods" to purge all relevant stock history data
While there is no compulsory reason to have to purge stock history, this feature is useful in circumstances where you wish to start fresh, or start a new set of accounts, without having to re-add all the relevant stock/inventory-related details again
This utility feature can be run if you wish to reset the stock batch numbers for a specific user
Resetting Stock Batch Numbers will purge all existing batch numbers for the current user, allowing for batches to once again start at 1
While there is no compulsory reason to have to purge batch numbers, this feature is useful in circumstances where you wish to start fresh, or start a new set of accounts while still retaining all other relevant Stock Control data
