Use Item Audit Report to track changes, deletions, or additions made to item information in Item Maintenance, including changes created on the fly and through Visual Integrator import. Changes tracked also include alias items for general alias item types (not for customer or vendor alias item types), alternate items, reorder information, non-customer item pricing, item vendors, and internet items. This report notes the date and time of the changes, and the user logon that made the changes.

When an item is deleted in Item Maintenance, the Item Audit Report only tracks and prints the deleted item record. For example, if item ABC is deleted, the report notes the deletion but does not print all the deleted alias items, alternate items, or reorder information for item ABC.

Note Changes made to item information in other tasks (such as the Delete and Change Items utility or the Remove Inactive Items utility) are not tracked on the Item Audit Report.

You can select to print all changes tracked or only specific changes. You can enter a selection of items, 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 Item Audit Report utility to purge the Item Audit file.

Note The Purge button is available only if the Item Audit Report is accessed from the Inventory Management Reports menu.
