PR300 - History Purge

Run PR300 (History Purge) to purge payroll history.

Report parameters allow for the selective deletion of payroll history.

Lawson recommends that at least one year of history be retained online. 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.

The LAWSON INSIGHT 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.
