Re: SOX and Essentials

To insure compliance with SOX Controls we have implemented the following:
   Removed access of IT staff to Production Environments
   Removed the DFU function
   Established MAPICS Security by Group Profiles and attach individuals
   according to roles
   Established IFM Security by Function and provided inquiry and maintenance
   levels accordingly
   Created Reports of User with Maintenance to Financial Data
   Use Power Broker Software to log any maintenance activity on Production
   Environments

We use Integrator as a tool to increases programming productivity and provide a
seamless interface
to custom code that does not hamper ability to apply MAPICS updates.

Greeting all!

One of the areas of Green-Screen that lacks functionality was logging, or
maintenance history.  Most modules only support 'last changed by'
and that doesn't tell you what the person changed!

I was thinking of including the maintenance logging capability of Browser
as a SOX advantage - now that we looking to implement SOX controls.

Would anyone using Integrator and SOX agree, or am I stretching it here?

For example, changing the Item Balance file's On-Hand Quantity when
the Location Quantity Audit has errors.  Currently we use DFU at Month
End,
not a good practice under SOX.

Thanks, I look forward to your comments!
