Sage 100 – How to Run System Audit Reports

Have you ever noticed a change to a customer address or vendor record and wondered who made the change and when?  Have you often wished there was a way to get a report of various happenings in Sage 100?  Here are some special tips just for you.

The first report that we will look at is the Activity Log.  This report can be found under Library Master, Reports,and Activity Log.

Unlike other reports you will see, there is no option to track this information but it happens automatically. It records information such as when modules are activated, data converted, period end process, system utilities, and system errors encountered.  It also tracks all Visual Integrator information but for a very large number of imports, this report could be extremely large and take a lengthy amount of time to run. This way we can track the activities taking place in Sage 100.

In a number of individual modules you can find out what changes were made to a master file and who made them.  First you need to make sure that you select the option to track changes.

For example in GL, General Ledger, Setup, General Ledger Options, we need to set the options as mentioned in the screenshot below.

Now we can see different type of reports by navigation to the GL, Reports, Account Audit Report, make your selection criteria and print or preview.
