PR300 - History Purge

**Form Purpose
Run History Purge (PR300) to purge payroll history.

Report parameters allow for the selective deletion of payroll history.

Important You should retain at least one year of history. You cannot delete
payroll history for a given year until July of the following year. You can,
however, delete payments, comments, and distributions, at any time.

Warning This program permanently deletes data. Before you run this program,
back up your data according to your organization's procedures. Before you
submit the report, carefully review the parameters.

**Processing Effect
The Time Accrual system relies on pay records that may be deleted when you
run PR300 (History Purge). Care should be taken to assure the pay records
being deleted have been processed by the appropriate time accrual programs.
