Indicate whether or not you want to purge the distributions passed off by General Ledger Passoff (GLP).
Y = The system purges ALL transactions that are in the Accounts Payable or Payroll distribution files (depending on what you enter in the Source field) that have a transaction date that is equal or prior to the date in the Period Cut Off Date field. This means it will purge what it is currently being passed off, plus anything that's been passed off prior when you put an N in the Purge Distributions field.
N = If you want to be able to run RAGL or RPGL for past periods or for a month at a time, yet still pass off using GLP during the course of a month to keep the G/L up to date, enter No in this field. Instead of purging, GLP will "tag" the items in the transaction file as having been interfaced to G/L so it knows not to pass them off a second time. Because the GLP will purge everything with a date equal to or less than the cut-off date, you won't want to purge with GLP at all. Instead, you must purge the distribution file periodically as follows in the RAGL and RPGL windows: answer YES to Purge File, put the date range through which you want to purge in the Period Starting Date and Period Ending Date fields, and put "I" for interfaced in the Distributions To Print field.
Epicor recommends you leave this field set to N to not purge distributions. Instead, Epicor recommends that you purge the distribution file periodically as follows in the RAGL and RPGL windows: answer YES to Purge File, put the date range through which you want to purge in the Period Starting Date and Period Ending Date fields, and put "I" for interfaced in the Distributions To Print field.
