Lawson Inventory Insight - Baseline rule

Baseline rules enable you to compare newly extracted master data with previously extracted data so that you can identify any changes made to the data. Using the baseline feature you can take a snapshot of selected tables and their data after an extraction. The data in the snapshot can be used in a rule as the basis for comparison.

After analyzing the extracted data against a baseline rule, the Baseline report will display the changes in the Added, Deleted and Modified panels as shown in the image below.
