Understanding a Commitment Audit Trail

A commitment audit trail is a history of commitment balances. For example, you might want to create a commitment audit trail to track amounts on purchase orders and changes to those purchase orders.

If you locate data inconsistencies among any of these tables, you can correct the commitment audit trail:

• F4311

• F43199

• F0902

If the business needs change after you install the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement system, you might need to create a commitment audit trail for the orders. You can run the Create F43199 Commitment Audit Trail program (R00993) to create a history of commitment balances.

When you run the Create F43199 Commitment Audit Trail program, the system creates an audit trail record of commitments against an order with an account number. When you create an audit trail, the system reads the F4311 table and writes the audit trail data, one line at a time, to the F43199 table. Purchase orders that have audit trails have a PA ledger type in the F43199 table.

The system processes only detail lines that have a document type that is specified in the UDC table for commitment document types (40/CT). Additionally, the system does not create a commitment audit trail for records in which an audit trail already exists. Therefore, to re-create a commitment, you must first purge existing records.
