	<HelpTopic><AimSection><Paragraph>Use this session to remove historical summary and asset data with related books and distributions from SSA ERP without running the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam8205m000" role="session">Period End (tffam8205m000)</Link> session.</Paragraph>
		</AimSection>
		<GeneralSection><Paragraph>SSA ERP only purges closed periods. You can use the session to remove data, which was not removed during the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000163" role="glossary">period-end</Link> process. You can also run this session to remove data that you restored beyond the normal history-retention periods but that you do not want to retain until the next period-end. You can purge summary data, detail data, or both during this session.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>When you run the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam8205m000" role="session">Period End (tffam8205m000)</Link> session, SSA ERP automatically purges historical data based on the history-retention rules specified in the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam0100s000" role="session">FAM Parameter (tffam0100s000)</Link> session. You can override the retention rules when you run the current session to remove restored historical data for a company. If you have restored historical data in SSA ERP, you must modify the history-retention rules in the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam0100s000" role="session">FAM Parameter (tffam0100s000)</Link> session in order to retain the additional data. You must also run the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam8205m000" role="session">Period End (tffam8205m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
			<Note><SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
				<Paragraph>For assets subject to <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000115" role="glossary">ADR</Link> or <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000139" role="glossary">MACRS</Link> group tax reporting, SSA ERP does not purge data from the ADR books, even if the retention periods have been exceeded. SSA ERP purges the ADR books for these assets when all the assets in the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000148" role="glossary">vintage/group</Link> account have been disposed of.</Paragraph>
