Inventory audit reports contain the results of the audit process. The audit process monitors and records changes to item master and item/branch information. For example, if you enter or change an item in the Item Master table (F4101), the system stores both the old and new information in the Item Master Audit table (F41019). If you change an item's location in the Item/Branch table (F4102), the system stores both the old and new information in the Item Branch Audit table (F41029).
It is important to understand the meaning of "change" in the audit process. For example, a change could represent any of the following actions:
Addition of a record or field
Change to a record or field
Deletion of a record or field
The audit reports display these changes. In addition, the reports provide information such as who made the change, when the change took place, and from where.
You cannot change the data sequencing for the audit reports. The system sequences records by item number. However, based on your data selection, you can display records by:
Cost center
Item
Date
Time
Topic | Description |
---|---|
Purging records | You must purge records to control the size of the reports.
See Chapter 52, "Purge Data" for information on purging the audit tables. |
Entering new information | After you enter new information to the item master or item branch, the system records the information and prints it on the report. However, the report does not list information in the "from" column because the information did not previously exist. |
