Deleting transactions and transactions

Deleting Transactions

Transactions are transactions data that has been imported into Trading Programs but has not yet been linked to a trading partner and / or a dimension item for every dimension that has been configured. This transactions data is contained within the transaction store, where it remains until trading partners or dimension items exist, such that it can be allocated.

As an admin user, it is possible to delete transactions from the transaction store by simply clicking on the Transactions drop-down option within the Config menu, and then clicking on the Delete transactions tab near the top of the page to start the deletion process.

Transactions are considered by Trading Programs to be either unreconciled or unmatched. Unreconciled transactions are transactions data that has been matched to a trading partner, but not to dimension items. Whereas unmatched transactions are those that Trading Programs is unable to match to a trading partner.

Selecting a trading partner from the list shown on the current page and clicking the Delete button that will now become available near the top of the page (see screenshot below) will remove all matching transactions for the selected trading partner from the transaction store.

Alternatively, if you wish to remove all unmatched transactions where the imported trading partner reference cannot be matched to a trading partner, simply click on the Delete unmatched button (see screenshot below).

Once you have elected to delete transactions, Trading Programs will present you with the number of transaction lines that will be permanently deleted (as shown below).

You will notice that you will be given the option to select Consider manual transactions only. By selecting Consider manual transactions only, you are confirming that only transactions imported manually into Trading Programs will be considered for deletion, therefore excluding any transactions imported using additional bespoke processes.

To confirm the deletion, simply select the Confirm delete button and press Confirm delete.

The Delete all button allows you to delete all unreconciled and unmatched transaction lines at once. The deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. 

Deleting Transactions

Transactions are imported into Trading Programs as a collection of transaction lines. Each transaction line corresponds to a specific trading partner, a specific transaction date, and a set of dimension items.

Every transaction line must be linked to a trading partner and a dimension item for every dimension that has been configured, in order for it to be linked to program lines and contribute to earnings data within Trading Programs.

As an admin user, it is possible to delete transactions permanently by clicking on Config at the top of the page and then on Transactions in the drop-down menu. Simply click on the Delete transactions tab near the top of the page (as shown in the screenshot below) in order to start the deletion process.

You will be presented with a number of filter criteria in order to determine what transactions data should be deleted (there are no required filters). A full list of filters can be seen below:

• Trading partner · A selection of trading partners where transactions data will only be deleted if it was acquired by the selected trading partner(s).

• Transaction date · A date selector where transactions data will only be deleted if it was acquired within the specified range.

• Interface date · This is a date that can be included with a transaction line when it is added providing the option of an additional and optional label on a transaction line.

• Currency · A selection of available currency.

• Dimension filters · A selection of dimension items and dimension attributes where transactions will only be deleted if it is associated with the selected values.

• Consider manual transactions only? · A yes or no selector where manual transactions is transactions data that has been imported into the system through the Trading Programs user interface.

Please note — the Reset button can be used in order to reset any filters that have been modified.

Once a selection of filters has been made, click the Delete button and Trading Programs will present you with the number of transaction lines that match your filter criteria and will therefore be permanently deleted. You will be prompted to enter your password to confirm the deletion (see screenshot below).

Please note — any program lines that were linked with the transaction lines will have their earnings recalculated following the deletion.
