How does the 'Remove Bank History' utility work in Microsoft Dynamics GP?

(Microsoft Dynamics GP | Utilities | Financial | Remove Bank History)

In Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 R2 (16.00.0541) and higher versions: (only deletes from historical tables)

Mark to remove Reconciled Transactions, Voided transactions, or voided Receipts.  At least one range restriction must be selected and the range selections will vary for what type of transaction you are trying to remove. If you mark the option to REMOVE HISTORY, and click PROCESS, the selected transactions will be deleted from the CM Transaction History (CM30200) table or CM Receipt History (CM30300) table.  Transactions are now removed from historical tables only. 

Transactions are no longer removed from the CM Transaction (CM20200) and CM Receipt (CM20300) tables.   The user must use the 'Reconciled Transaction Maintenance' utility first (under Microsoft Dynamics GP | Tools | Routines | FInancial) to move the transactions to history, before trying to remove them. 

In Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 RTM (16.00.0439) and lower versions, Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015, Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013: (Deletes from open tables)

Mark to remove Reconciled Transactions, Voided transactions, or voided Receipts.  At least one range restriction must be select for Checkbook ID, Reconcile Audit Trail Code, or  Statement Ending date., If you mark the option to REMOVE HISTORY, and click PROCESS, the selected transactions will be deleted from the CM Transaction (CM20200) table or CM Receipt (CM20300) table. 

Note:  Under Microsoft Dynamics GP | Tools | Setup | Financial |Bank Reconciliation, the option for MAINTAIN HISTORY for 'Transaction/Reconciliation' must be marked, otherwise transactions will disappear from the CM20200/CM20300 tables immediately when reconciled or voided.
