Sage 100

I swear that I think that I have seen this before but I must have slept since I've found the answer. We have a customer using Sage 100 2016 Standard including the GL, AP, AR, BR, and VI modules. In AP they can see Invoice History Inquiry going back to 2001. When they look at the Invoice tab in Vendor Inquiry/Maintenance, they can only see about a year of history. In an older backup of this company, they have no problem seeing these invoices in the maintenance/inquiry screen. What setting am I missing?

AP options set to retain 365 days of paid invoices and someone has run a period end which has purged all paid invoices in that screen

I thought that it might be something like that. Any way to get that data back?

Not easily. Restore from backup. VI would be tricky, if possible considering the tables needing to be touched. When that happened to our client, we said ""lesson learned"" and leave a backup company code out there for reference for a while

This hassle could be eliminated if Sage would just put a add an invoice history inquiry to the upper right corner button of vendor maintenance. AR has it, why not AP??? So simple, so easy for a quick win..... But NOT! I try to educate my users that the history in NOT AWOL but simply in a different location. I find it more frustrating to see zero balance invoices that I rarely need to access than to be looking for a paid invoice from 12 months ago. But to each his own.
