Summary
Did someone edit your vendor record and you need to find out who and what the previous field value was? Read on to discover how you can with this feature.
Simply put, this feature allows you to see a logged history of specific vendor data points. Each change to that data, will add a new row the history with relevant data. Then, at any time, you can export a spreadsheet of that history and compare those rows and columns to see what changed exactly, by whom, and when.

- Open the Vendors Menu
- Using the checkboxes, indicate which vendor(s) you'd like to include in the report.

-
Select Vendor Change Log. If this option is disabled, it is likely because you haven't selected a vendor yet.
