Re: User transactions tracking in BPCS v4

[pluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Al,
thanks for your input. I am going to try to be more specific on the needs I have
and explain the context.
In fact I am IT auditor and I would like, during audits, to be able to know for
certains critical transactions (like posting invoices, creating customers...)
who has created the document (like who has posted the invoice number 999999 the
22/09/1999...).
Now in case of fraud for instance, it is not possible to find out who keyed the
transactions in BPCS.
What I would like to work out is a tracking mecanism that would add a user ID to
the document created for critical transactions, and that would not be too much
resource consuming.
Any idea on how to do that? Thanks for your help.

Zahouani, this might be a good time to investigate database triggers.  Depending
on what you want to do, you can either update a field in the record itself, or
you can modify a secured database file with the apporpriate information (who
update the record and when, for instance).  This way, you can implement your own
journaling techniques.
