Transaction Log

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

This is a journal of all processes which have affected this inventory item.  The most current activity is listed at the top.

It records when the item was created, how often and by whom it is edited.

Stock counts are changed by purchase orders, sales, and manual stock adjustments.  The "Quantity" is not a running total, but rather the impact made on the total in stock.  Exporting this transaction log to a spreadsheet allows you to enter a formula to see how actual stock counts changed.

The primary purpose of this log is for review only.  You can choose the Send To  button to export this information to Excel, HTML, or another type of document.
