The inventory transaction log is the recorded history of every change to an item's on-hand stock at a school. It's the backward-looking half of an item's inventory timeline; for the full picture, including how this history connects to the forward-looking projection, see Reading an Item's Inventory Timeline: History and Projection.
What the log records
Every change to on-hand inventory for an item at a school. Each entry records:
The date and time
The user or system that made the change
The transaction type (check-in / received order, check-out / production record, adjustment, discard, or transfer in and out)
The amount changed
The on-hand amount after the change
The linked order or production record, when applicable
For what each transaction type means, see the inventory timeline article.
Opening the log
Open the item page from the Pantry and open the Inventory section, or open the inventory panel on the Production Records page.
Click the transaction-history icon
to see the full log for the item at the current school.
Filtering and linked records
The log can be filtered by date range and by transaction type. Use it for audit, reconciliation, or to investigate an on-hand amount that doesn't match what you expect. For entries created by an order or production record, the log shows a direct link to the related record; open the link to see the order or production record that triggered the change.
