Viewing Audit History

Transaction Matching provides an audit trail to track the status of transactions from the time a transaction is loaded into Transaction Matching until it is deleted. In addition, the audit history tracks the changes to match status.

Actions that are tracked include:

  • Transaction edits

  • Auto Match jobs

  • Manual match operations (match, unmatch, support, unsupport) - record is created for each transaction for match status change

  • Transaction deletions

  • Confirming suggested matches

  • Creating reverse adjustments

Changes to adjustments are included in audit history.

Note:

You cannot view the audit history of transactions deleted. However, if a transaction is deleted as part of delete transaction job after a match was performed, an audit record will get created for the other side of the transactions (those that were matched with the deleted transactions).

There is no audit history tracked or created for calculated attributes modified by an edit transaction. Also transaction import history is visible on the Audit History dialog but no separate audit record is created.
