If you no longer need a matrix cell, we recommend setting the matrix cell to expire rather than delete it. This way you can check price histories on the orders that used the matrix cell. Run a matrix cell purge after giving the cell a new expire date to delete obsolete matrix cells.
This topic contains the following instructions:
From the Maintenance > Price Maintenance menu, select Buy Matrix or Sell Matrix to display the Buy or Sell Matrix Maintenance window.
Display the cell matrix that you want to change.
In the Expire Date field, enter a date earlier than the current date as the purge cell date.
To purge an expired matrix cell:
From the Maintenance > Merge/Purge menu, select Purge Expired Matrix Cells to display the Matrix Purging window.
Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.
|
Important Before this purge, verify that all customer price classes are defined in Control Maintenance. |
Enter the date of the earliest matrix cell you want to keep, or select a date from the Eclipse calendar. All expired matrix cells dated before this date will be deleted.
The system prompts to confirm the deletion.
You can delete one expired matrix cell at a time from the lists in Quick Buy or Quick Sell Matrix Maintenance. Make sure you are deleting only matrix cells that have expired, and that have no active cells linked to them.
To delete an expired matrix cell in Quick Matrix:
From the Maintenance menu, select Price Maintenance > Quick Buy Matrix or Quick Sell Matrix to display the Quick Buy or Quick Sell Matrix Maintenance window.
Enter the necessary information to display the matrix cells to delete.
Select the first matrix cell to delete.
Ensure this cell is dated before the current date in the Expires column.
Press Alt-Delete.
At the prompt, enter Yes to delete the cell.
