Good idea but not at all simple to implement, would mean a data structure change and changes to every program in the system that has the possibility to edit or update anything

I would like to suggest that user changes or edits to inventory item information (ie Reorder Level, Reorder Qty, etc.) be logged in the item transaction file (as a comment?) with the logged in user name.    
 
This would be very helpful to track down database changes (intentional or un-intentional).  It also helps to self document the history of changes to a particular field.

Lorne,
 
Please allow me to more clearly express my suggestion with regard to logging user edits to inventory item fields.
 
I was specificaly refering to logging only edits from IN-B and or MRP parameters edititable from MR-? (sorry, I'm at home and I can't remember the menu item!   )
 
This would require that the INVTXN file be opened and that a new transaction type be defined for a "comment" or "log" type of transaction.  The Quantity field would not be processed on this type of transaction, nor would the cost be processed.  Instead, for example,  those two fields could reflect a before / after value of a numeric field.  The existing Description string could be populated with a user name, and date.  This would not change the schema of the INVTXN file.
 
I in no way ment to imply that EVERY field that gets changed by ANY application be logged.  
 
Of course, the Print Inventory Transactions, consolidate Inventory Transactions, (and probably a few others),  would need to understand this record type and deal with it appropriately.
 
This is how I interpreted pens origonal post on this subject.
