What two parameters affect the purging of accounts receivable (A/R)?

(la2) purge by latest date

(la2) journalize purged invoices-purge by latest date: when you purge invoices, you specify a cutoff date; all invoices with the specified date or an earlier date are purged. When determining which invoices are old enough to be purged, the system can use either the invoice date or the last date when an entry was made for the invoice.

Type y to use the date of the last entry when determining which invoices are old enough to be purged. Type n to use the invoice date when determining which invoices are old enough to be purged.Journalize purged invoices: when you purge, this parameter determines whether to display a prompt offering the option of archiving the invoices you are purging.

You can also archive the a/r specials attached to those invoices. When you archive invoices, you build the file jnl-ar; when you archive invoice specials, you build the file jnl-ar-spc. Type y to prompt you to archive purged invoices without archiving invoice specials. Type x to prompt you to archive purged invoices and automatically archive invoice specials as well. If you specify x in this field, the system displays the same prompt as if you had specified y. This prompt does not specify that the invoices specials will be saved to the file jnl-ar-spc. However, when you purge the invoices, the specials are saved to this file. Type n (default) to not archive any accounts receivable.
