Use the Vendor Audit Report to track changes, deletions, and additions made to vendor information in Vendor Maintenance, including changes created on the fly and through Visual Integrator import. Changes tracked also include vendor contacts, purchase addresses and vendor price level, remit to addresses, vendor alias items, 1099 payment history, electronic payment information, and Paperless Office delivery options. This report notes the date and time of the changes, and the user logon that made the changes.

When a vendor is deleted in Vendor Maintenance, the Vendor Audit Report only tracks and prints the deleted vendor record. For example, if vendor ABC is deleted, the report notes the deletion but does not print all the deleted contacts, purchases addresses, or electronic information for vendor ABC.

Note Changes made to vendor information in other tasks (such as the Delete and Change Vendors utility or the Remove Temporary Vendors utility) are not tracked on the Vendor Audit Report.

All highly sensitive personally identifiable information (PII data) prints masked on the report, regardless of the user's security setup.

You can select to print all changes tracked or only specific changes. You can enter a selection of vendors, user logons, and transaction dates. By entering these selections, you can obtain a report that allows you to identify pertinent information.

Click Purge to access the Purge Vendor Audit Report utility to purge the Vendor Audit file.

Note The Purge button is available only if the Vendor Audit Report is accessed from the Accounts Payable Reports menu.
