Shop Order Soft Delete - a Data Governance issue

<vendor>


Good morning ...

The "WHO DID IT?" question on prior shop order deletions shall remain a
"you'll-never-figure-it-out" mystery. Prospectively, you could use
Stitch-in-Time software to observe the FSO file and then you would have a
comprehensive audit trail which would allow you to look up the "guilty"
party. Stitch-in-Time provides much-more-robust-than-journaling functionality
without the hard-drive consumption management headaches that come along with
plain vanilla journaling.

If the person who performed the deletion had not done that before .... or ...
if the program used to perform the deletion had not changed the contents of
the FSO file before, then Needle in a Haystack software would immediately
generate an email warning addressed to the FSO database guardian about that
finding.

Subject: [BPCS-L] Shop Order Soft Delete

We are on BPCS LX and have been for about 18 months . When a shop order is
deleted (Action 4 on SFC500), all records for the shop order disappear.

I believe that in previous versions this was a soft-delete, but I can't
verify that.
Regardless, we need to know who deleted it, so we can find out why. Can
anyone suggest a good method?
