There are separate seeded responsibilities for purging the records from General Ledger, Purchasing , Receivables and Payables .

I think , You are not asking about the Payables Open Interface Purge Program?

You can customize these responsibilities for your Org . Oracle payable purge responsibility has a menu item name like ?Purge? and when you click on purge and it will bring 'Submit Purge ' window , You can enter your Criteria and initiate the program. You can purge invoices. Purging Invoices is a very serious activity, Are you purging the Invoices because of the Database size and performance issues. Are you archiving these invoices ?

I think , You work in India , Do you have any legal requirement keep invoices records for certain periods ?, My advice is to make a good analysis for finding out the pros and cons of purging Invoices and look for a good archives.
Oracle has improved a lot for the database performance and the storage become very cheap now, if you compare to 5 years back.
Please remember once you initiated the purge program and you can abort this program only before the purge program begins deleting the invoices and If the Purge has one of the following statuses, you cannot abort until the phase is completed: Initiating, Revalidating, Summarizing.
Please refer to Chapter 8 Resource Management of Oracle Payables User guide for Release 12 .
Thanks
