MAS200 Number of Days to Retain Paid Invoices

[ljc633]

Hello,

I'm new to supporting MAS200 and have a question about the Accounts Receivable setup parameter 'Number of Days to Retain Paid Invoices'.

Does anyone know if there is a limit to the number of days this parameter can be set to? We currently have ours set to 465 but occasionally have instances where the accounting department needs to research customer payment disputes that are a few years old. I'm concerned that if we increase it too much , we will start having performance issues.

We are running MAS200 version 4, non-sql.

Thanks.

Open Invoices are kept in the AR4 Open Invoice file. When you select 465 the system will deleted all PAID invoices that are older than 465. However the history of the payment will still reside in AR6. You could write a report to look at the AR6 if the invoice is no longer in the AR4.

Please note that the Invoice and Payment information in AR6 is displayed in Customer Inquiry so you can still drill down from there.

If you increase I do not think you will have performance issues.
