...

• • Audit Report (Classic's EIS801): Run the official report

    • Recommend running the official option for ALL report types (leave 'select report type' blank to include all of them) and enter a date range for the entire fiscal year (Start Date 07/01/xxxx and Stop Date 06/30/xxxx).
      

      Note

      The Audit Report runs based on the system dates (timestamp), not transaction dates. If there was no activity that occurred within the dates of the fiscal year, or the date range is prior to migrating to Redesign, it is possible for this report to show No Data Returned. Further performance enhancements are planned on INV-488. If the report does not run for the full fiscal year dates, smaller date ranges can be used. Running this report manually is optional. A copy of this report is included in the FYE Report Bundle
