Removing transactions from the print or email queue
we have always done this regularly as we were told it would slow down performance if we just left them. Is this true as it takes quite a bit of time to do our six company files every month?

Hi Paulas
As indicated by Doreen_P large numbers of transactions will slow certain functions such as reports and invoice processing etc.
However having a transaction in a print queue, will not slow other functions such as reporting or invoice processing - it will only slow loading the print queue. This is because this is not a 'transaction', it is simply a flag in an existing transaction, telling MYOB whether to display the transaction or not.
When there are so many transactions in your file that you notice processing gets slower and slower, it might be time to consider a 'purge' to remove old closed transactions. This is the only way to reduce a file size and improve performance.
