Audit trail for master data updates
When a source update fails, you need more than a red badge. Follow job results, record identifiers and error references to the relevant activity.
What can the Business Partner audit trail show?
The audit trail combines stored application activity with process results and diagnostic logs. It helps explain who approved a change, which record was involved and what the operation reported.
Find the operation behind the result
Record and approval context
Use process status and record outcomes to distinguish ready, skipped, updated and failed work.
Operational progress
Generation traces show lookup and extraction steps; unique error references connect failures to technical logs.
Private diagnostics
Company access rules and log retention determine who can inspect which information and for how long.
How it works
- 1
Identify
Open the relevant job or activity.
- 2
Inspect
Identify the record and operation.
- 3
Correlate
Check approval, outcome and error reference.
- 4
Resolve
Use the logs to investigate unresolved cases.
Example: Audit Trail
A batch updates most records but one write is uncertain. The result and error reference help support locate the attempt before anyone retries it.
Application logs are not an immutable compliance archive. Remote automation and data retention need their own controls.
