Re: Audit trail

To use the simple audit trail in FrontAccounting you should first change a variable line in the file config.php. $use_audit_trail, line 57. Set the value to 1 instead of 0.
Now all the GL transactions are stamped with the username in the field, memo. If this memo field is used for other things, the username will be samped in front of that.

While most of the critical transactions from AR, AP and Stock modules end up in GL Postings, we found this to be sufficient enough. The trail can be found backwards, when you know the GL transaction number.

Re: Audit trail

I've set: $use_audit_trail=1 in config.php

How to see the audit trail notes/logs/effect?
It is available in what menu?

Re: Audit trail

You will see the user id stamped into the memo field. This is only a simple audit-trail.
You can see it when running the Report, List of Journal Entries.
A more detailed one has been created for release 2.2 unstable.
So stay tuned for this to come.
