    Presentation

    This function is used to purge the serial numbers issued before the specified date (STOSER table), for the selected site. A control is carried out to check that the serial numbers involved in a transfer are not deleted.

    A Warehouse site must be specified in the serial numbers to be purged selection window. By default, the site associated with the operator in their profile is pre-loaded.

    Shipped before: The default date corresponds to the current date minus the value (in months) if the MARPURSER setup (serial number purge safety margin). In fact, this general setup is used to determine a reference date for the purge. If it is not defined or if its value is null, it will not be possible to purge the serial numbers issued for less than 12 months.

    If the Simulation tick-box is ticked, it signifies that the process will not be carried out in direct mode.

    Process log file: The process generates a log file for the purged serial numbers. It is possible to print it.
