Using MFG Data Archive

Manufacturing data can be archived using two different methods:

• Using the “Remove MO” utility provided by GP Manufacturing. MFG Data Archive integrates into Manufacturing’s Remove MO window, and as that window deletes an MO it is captured by MFG Data Archive and moved into the archive database. This utility allows archiving single MOs, or a range of MOs. It is slow because it processes one MO at a time.
• Using the “Archive Processor” utility provided by MFG Data Archive. This utility archives all MOs prior to a specified date. It does not provide a way to select specific MOs or a range of MOs. This utility is much faster because it processes the entire batch of MOs as a group.

The process of using each utility is described below.

To move data from the live company into the archive company your GP User ID must have full read/write permissions on the archive database.
