Answer

1

When an item is purged, is the matching item on the AN purged as well?

No, they will not be

If an Invoice is linked to a PO is it possible to purge that invoice separately (leaving the PO in the system)? If so… how the PO is notified that its Invoice is purged.

In this scenario the PO also will be purged as it is a linked object. To prevent that the criteria needs to be defined to exclude them. Further if there are anything that you wanted to retain can be done at Review stage.

For requisitions/POs/invoices, will attachments to those objects also be purged?

Not only for these entities, but for any object, Upstream or Downstream, all attachments will be archived and then Purged.

Custom workspaces as primary objects could be purged?

Yes they can be purged

We will come out with the necessary recommendations. But as discussed the general recommendation of doing it incrementally holds.
