AP & AR closed deletes details?

[Orica]

We close the gl every month but have not closed AP and AR for a few months. Someone else used to do this. It would be my first time. However I read that when I do this payment details will be deleted and zero balance invoices will be deleted. This is not acceptable. We offset AP and AR and end up with 0 balance invoices which we need to have details on. I have wondered why I have so much trouble getting to payment details. Why does it do this? Do we need to do this? What will happen if we never close AP and AR, only GL? We are on MAS90. Our year end is very near and I need a better understanding. I am fairly new to MAS90.

We use all of our MAS200 features together, and all of them are set up linked to each other. There is a particular order for closing them so everything that posts to each other can post in the proper order. When you do the set-up in each option you have you can chose to integrate these or not. However when you do your monthly close out you can chose to not PURGE the info. out of the system. You can also chose to to save the data for a particular period of time through your set-up options for each option.
