I can help you with that, AFF719.
You'll want to use the updated Condense Data feature to remove the audit trail while still being able to see all the detailed transactions. This one is different from the traditional option which removes transactions and creates a consolidated journal entry.
Since condensing cannot be undone, you may need to restore the backup of your company file first. Then, follow these steps to condense your data using the new option:
- Go to the File menu.
- Hover over Utilities and then pick Condense Data.
- From the Condense your company file window, select the Keep all transactions, but remove audit trail info to date radio button.
- Click Next, then follow the on-screen instructions.
Once completed, the About your company file window will pop up showing the total reduction in your file size as well as the location of the backup prior to the condensation.
To learn more about this process, you can visit this page: Use the Condense Data utility.
