Change Logs for Budget and Posting Addresses 

Use

You can activate a change log in order to obtain history records for all changes made to the budget structure. You can also use change logs to keep track of deletions in the budget structure.

Activation of a change log influences the performance of the generation and maintenance transactions for all budget and posting addresses, as well as the deletion and copying of a budget structure. Furthermore, activating a change log affects the reconstruction of the budget structure index and automatically generates a change document when the budget structure index is updated.
