Purge Non-Processed Shipments is initiated from the Supplementary Purge using Request Type "PNPS".
The Transportation Manager purge operational data utility starts with loads when building the operational purge block. Because of this, shipments that are not assigned to loads (non-processed shipments) are never purged by that process. Purging non-processed shipments (in Open/Processed and/or Cancelled and/or Init status) is performed using the Supplementary Data Purge.
Operational Status
The operational status specifies the user-eligible operational statuses a shipment can have in order to be eligible for purging. User can select one or more of the available statuses (Init, Canceled, or Open/Processed).
Note: For Open/Processed status, only shipments that have no legs assigned to a load and no legs in a status greater than Processed (that is, only non-processed shipments) are eligible for selection.
Created Date Cutoff
The Shipment Created Date must conform to the requested Cut-Off Date. The process will consider those shipments that:
All data associated with qualifying shipments will be purged: Shipment details, shipment items, reference numbers, shipment legs, charge details, etc. Dependent entities for shipments will be the same ones as in case of load purging. While almost all shipments that meet the selection criteria will have never been processed by financials, the possibility exists that a shipment could advance to the point where it is eligible for financials processing, only to have these steps reversed. To address this possibility, application will purge related data in A/R Voucher and Invoice tables (A/R Voucher, A/R Voucher Exceptions, Invoice, Invoice Detail) that reference the selected shipment.
There is no auditing for this purge.
