SM-J-B Archive Work Orders
Purpose of Program
This program moves closed Work Orders within the filter ranges specified to archive files. Archived Work Orders can be viewed at WO-Q and all Job Cost reports have an option to use Active or Archived Work Orders.
General Program Operation
You are given a choice to archive active work orders or restore archived work orders to the active file.
Next, enter a range of Work Orders, Actual Finish Dates, Job Number, Customer Code, Item Number and indicate whether closed and/or canceled work orders within the ranges specified are to be archived. You can get an Archive Report listing the work orders archived and an Exception Report listing any work order unable to be archived (probably because another user had the record open). Click Process to begin.
While archiving the work orders removes the data from the active files, the disk space is not recovered until the work order files involved are reindexed using UT-C. For a list of affected files, see Archiving or Purging Old Data
