By | November 15, 2016

In this blog will discuss, how to purge Sage 50 US (Peachtree) data and why it is required. In the purging process, we can remove inactive customers, inactive vendors, inactive items and paid transactions such as invoices, receipts, etc. In the purging process, we delete unwanted data which reduces the size of company files and free up the valuable disk space for the current data.

We can perform the purging process after or before performing Year End Process. In our Next Blog, we will discuss “How to Perform Year-End Process”.
