Archive Contracts

This program uses a Cut-Off Date to select which contracts to move from the current active contract file, to the history file.
e.g. Using a Cut-Off Date of three months ago keeps the last three months of closed contracts in the current file, with all the open contracts.

Only eligible contracts before this Cut-Off Date will be moved to history.
For a contract to be eligible, it must be closed and any invoices created from the contract must also be posted through the Daily Close and must be fully paid.

When contracts are moved to history using this archive utility, an audit record is written to the Delete Log for the Function RSCH08A with the Cut-Off Date.

Note: Be advised that once executed, this operation cannot be undone.
Hence, prior to running this request, verify in the play environment that the results obtained from running this operation are as expected.

By moving old contracts to history, the current contract file is kept small resulting in faster Cycle Billing and Contract reports and inquiries.
Associated invoices can not be purged from Purge Old Invoices until the source contract has been moved to history or deleted.

After moving the contracts to history, the details of the archived contracts can be viewed in the Contracts in history can later be deleted using Purge Archived Contracts when they are no longer required.
The unconfirmed flag is removed from any unconfirmed product exchanges relating to these contracts.
