Some towns have been using the Avitar Tax Collect system for years and may have as many as ten years worth of paid invoices, receipts, and transactions in their current database. Invoices, receipts, and transactions are created through the normal processes of being a Tax Collector — importing warrants, creating supplements, posting receipts, and processing abatements. Over time, if you do not purge your paid invoices, not only will the tree view lists grow and become cumbersome to navigate, but the added data will cause your system to run slower when generating reports and creating deposits.

The Town Settings | Fiscal Year tab allows you to manually Purge Paid Invoices from your current year database to your prior year database. If you have never purged paid invoices before or if you have any questions, please call us BEFORE you begin the purge process.

For more information on what, when, and how you should purge, please visit our online documentation for Purge Paid Invoices.
