Yes! You can use the Usage Log to look up a number of things, including what user made changes to quotes, orders, invoices, POs, customer/vendor records, etc. and at what time (as long as it is within the past 6 months).

If you go to Admin » Logs » Usage Log, there you can type in the URL for the order or PO (or other item) you are looking for, and any updates made to it and screen visits to the item will show there in the populated data, along with the user ID and the time and date.

Notes and Tips:

  • When typing in the URL for your item, we would recommend keeping the URL broad so that you can catch all views/updates made to that page. For example, rather than entering in https://mysite.cetecerp.com/order/MN1930.1/view (which is exactly how it appears in the URL bar when you go to the order view screen), we recommend only inputting “https://mysite.cetecerp.com/order/MN1930.1/” so that you can see all actions and screen visits involving that controller (ex: order/MN1930.1/edit, order/MN1930.1/edit_update, etc.)

  • If you are looking for some specific action or data entry update, you can perform the update yourself as a test, and then go to the most recent usage stats to see what URL it turned over (some actions have hidden URLs); then, you can search for that action in the context of the order that you are wanting to know about.

      For example: if you want to see which user changed the qty on line 1 from 10 to 20 on an order and then invoiced, do that exact action in a test order yourself. Then, go to the Usage Log, click the 'Update Usage Stats' button is, and find the most recent entry for your test order. Copy/paste the action in the URL (ex: /update_invoicing) in the URL for the actual order you are looking into.
    
  • You can try sorting for ‘POST’ methods (which typically means an action was ‘posted’, as opposed to ‘GET’ which is usually indicative of just a visit to or view of a page). When you search for POST entries, you can click into an entry and it will open up more data about the post itself.

      Some of this data will show things like: "update_line_40277": "1" That indicates that the line *was* updated with new info because it says 1 (1 in computer code language means 'true', where 0 means 'false').  It will show you all the different fields and what data was in them at the time of the post update (line data, header field data, etc.).
