Use
This report summarizes the buyer information that has been purged when the buyer purge program is run. When the system purges a buyer, it purges all statistical information related to the buyer.

Content
Inactive buyers are eligible for purge. Two values determine when a buyer is eligible:

Buyer Status on screen BUY
Buyer Purge Months on BEN (for the buying entity to which the buyer is
assigned)

The second value determines the number of months a buyer can be inactive before being eligible for purge. To be purged, either the Status is 2 (Inactive, Purge Next Cycle) or blank (Active), and the number of Buyer Purge Months has elapsed. The system never purges a buyer with open orders, regardless of status. A purchase order or requisition (even if closed) must be deleted before the associated buyer can be purged.

The report identifies each buyer by ID code and name and provides the date of last activity.
