Purge Pricing Entities

Arching different pricing entities (pricelist, modifiers etc) can be done when you longer need them. Archiving functions moves the pricing entity information from main table into an archiving table, so data is still there in a backup table but won’t be actively in use. This reduces the number of records in main table and improves performance.

When you finally decided you no longer need even archived information then you can run the purge program that deletes the information permanently.

Navigate to Oracle Pricing Manager responsibility -> Archive Purge Pricing Entities -> Purge Entity.

qp_purge_price_list

1 ) Select the ‘Source System’

2 ) Select Archive name. Entity must be archived first before getting purged.

3 ) Select the entity type and entity name.

Click on ‘Submit’, this launches a concurrent request that purges the pricing entity information permanently.
