Category 0007 Considerations
Current signature data for category 0007, Transaction History, is never shown as part of the latest e-signature when you access a previously signed record from one of the programs listed in
QAD-Defined Categories for category 0007. When setting up this category, you should ensure that the fields and filters selected match for programs associated with two categories—such as Inventory Detail Maintenance—to avoid confusion regarding which data the signature is applied to. See
Record E-Signatures.
Note: You can still view the final data being signed in the final signature data frame for this category.
Category 0006 ld_det Records
Some companies choose to implement temporary locations by setting Permanent to No in Location Maintenance (1.1.18). This setting has consequences for how audit records are created and how e-signatures occur. This section outlines the effects of auditing and signing temporary location detail records (ld_det).
Inventory Detail Maintenance (3.1.1) and Detail Maintenance by Item/Lot (3.1.2) create the following transactions for non-permanent locations:
• ISS-CHL transaction is created in tr_hist that sets the QOH to zero and deletes the ld_det record.
• RCT-CHL transaction is created in tr_hist that receives the quantity on hand (QOH) for the new inventory detail record that is created for the temporary location.
This standard behavior may lead to some confusion in understanding the audit history because three audit records are created:
• One to delete the temporary ld_det record
• One to create it with all new values
• One to update the QOH
The delete event is for a different ld_det record than the create and modify.
When e-signatures are enabled, only one signature for these three events is captured. The signature is associated with the last event. This may appear to be misleading in the E-Signature History Report (36.12.5).
If you typically use temporary locations, you should consider this before enabling e-signatures on this type of record.
