Use this form to delete old update history transactions. All updates of confirmations, picking lists, packing slips, and invoices generate update history transactions. You can view these transactions in the History on update form. You can delete history transactions that are generated with or without errors.

For instructions about how to delete the updates, see Delete the update history of purchase or sales orders.
