22 Review Inventory Audit Reports
This chapter contains these topics:
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).
22.1 Reviewing Inventory Audit Reports
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
