Inventory Audit Trail

Overview

The Inventory Audit Trail gives operators a clear sequence of stock changes.

Use it when inventory counts shift unexpectedly or when you need evidence for disputes, audits, or daily reconciliation.

When to use it

• On-hand changed but the physical count is not explained.
• You need to separate sales movement from manual adjustments.
• You are validating intake updates before purchasing or returning stock.

How to use it

1. Open Inventory, then open Audit.
2. Search for the product and confirm filters are clear.
3. Review entries by movement type: intake, adjustment, sale.
4. Compare before/after quantities for each movement.
5. Identify the first event that explains the delta.
6. Open nearby sales lines if needed to match customer activity.
7. Note who made adjustments and when if you need follow-up.

Options and settings

• Filters for date range, movement type, and product.
• Sorting by newest-first or oldest-first for your reconciliation flow.

Tips for operators

• Start from the newest entries and move backward.
• If stock drops with no sales events, look for adjustments and approval status first.
• Confirm correct role access before sharing audit evidence.
