Please note the following Sage 200 Ideas Portal Guidelines apply to the use of this portal.
It would be extremely useful if Sage 200 included a comprehensive, system-wide audit trail that records when key fields are changed, who made the change, and the date and time of the change — similar to the audit functionality available in other ERP systems.
Currently, it can be difficult to understand what changed, when, and by whom once a transaction or master record has been edited. A detailed audit trail would significantly improve traceability, accountability, and internal control.
Example Use Cases
Sales Ledger / Sales Orders
View when products are added, removed, or amended after order creation
Track changes to:
Promised delivery dates
Requested delivery dates
Delivery addresses
Prices, discounts, or quantities
See original value vs amended value, along with the user and timestamp
Purchase Orders
Track amendments after initial creation, including:
Supplier price changes
Quantity changes
Delivery date changes
Line deletions or additions
Customer & Supplier Records
Audit changes to:
Addresses
Contact details
Payment terms
Credit limits
Bank details
I should imagine each window in sage would a new 'Audit' tab where it would list out the changes.
I.E. ABC User changed field 'Promise Delivery Date' from '30/01/2025' to '02/02/2025'
| Idea Benefit | Improved traceability and accountability Faster investigation of disputes and pricing issues Stronger internal controls and audit compliance Reduced reliance on manual notes or external change logs Increased confidence when reviewing historical transactions |
| How do you solve for this problem today? | We don't find out why certain things happen, so can't get the the root cause of problem every time. Rely on people making manual notes in the Memo tavs added by Sicon Enhancement Tab. |
