Audit Event Type

Oracle Revenue Management and Billing enables you to define an audit event type for an entity business object. However, at a time, only one audit event type of the entity business object can be in the Active status. The system creates an audit event using the active audit event type whenever you define, edit, or delete the respective entity. The audit event type helps the system to determine:

• Entity Business Object - The business object for which you want to define the audit event type.

• Audit Usage - The usage indicates the purpose of auditing an entity which is created using the entity business object. For example, membership premium charges might change due to change in pricing and therefore you may want to audit the pricing rules for premium calculation.

• Audit Actions - The various options, such as Add Action, Delete Action, and Update All are available while defining an audit event type. The system creates an audit event while defining, editing or deleting an entity depending on whether the respective option is selected in the audit event type. For example, if you create the active audit event types for the following entity business objects where the below listed options are selected:

  Audit Event Type	Entity Business Object	Add Action	Update All	Delete Action
  AETY1	C1-POLICY	Y	N	N
  AETY2	C1-ASOPolicy	Y	Y	Y

  Then, the system will create an audit event using the AETY1 audit event type when you define a fully-insured group policy. But, the system will not create an audit event when you edit or delete a fully-insured group policy. However, the system will create an audit event using the AETY2 audit event type when you define, edit, or delete a self-funded policy.

• Audit Elements During Update - Alternatively, you can list the elements of the entity business object which should be monitored for the auditing purpose while editing an entity in the audit event type. You can list the elements of the entity business object when the Update All option is not selected. The system enables you to monitor a set of the business object statuses, characteristic types, and fields and accordingly creates an audit event while editing an entity. For example, if you create the audit event types for the following entity business objects:

  Audit Event Type	Entity Business Object	Update All	Audit Elements During Update
  AETY3	C1_​PERSON_​BO	Y	Not applicable
  AETY4	C1-PricingRuleTierBased	N	Pricing Start Date, Rate Option, Base Fee for a Price Component
  AETY5	C1-PricingRuleAgeBased	N	Rate Option, Base Fee for a Price Component

  Then, the system will create an audit event using the AETY3 audit event type when you edit any details of a person. But, the system will create an audit event using the AETY4 audit event type when the following fields in a tier based pricing rule are edited:

  • Pricing Start Date

  • Rate Option

  • Base Fee for a Price Component

  Similarly, the system will create an audit event using the AETY5 audit event type when the following fields in an age based pricing rule are edited:

  • Rate Option

  • Base Fee for a Price Component

The Audit Event Type screen allows you to define, edit, copy, and delete an audit event type. It contains the following zones:
