History data

In the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session, you can enable the creation of history records for the following objects:

  • Warehouse orders
  • ASN
  • Receipts
  • Shipments
  • Inventory Ownership Change Orders
  • Allocation Change Orders
  • Adjustment orders
  • Cycle counting orders

In the Inventory Reporting Parameters (whinr0500m000) details session, you can specify that history records are created for the following objects:

  • Inventory transactions
  • Item issue history
  • Item issue by warehouse history
Note

In the Inventory Reporting Parameters (whinr0100s000) session, select either the Item Issue by Period field or the Item Issue by Warehouse and Period field. If you select both fields, each issue will be logged twice. This affects system performance and results in data growth.

History data is only used to keep track of the life cycle of an object. Enabling the creation of history data should be carefully considered taking into account the impact of data growth. Note that every change in the order results in an additional history record. If history data is used, you must delete, archive, or delete and archive, the history data on a regular basis.

Note that If you delete an object while history data creation is enabled, LN creates a history record for the deleted object. This history record includes only the last transaction of the deleted object. From the appropriate menu of the history sessions, you can access the archiving sessions. For further information on deleting and archiving, see Delete and archive.
