Processing Audit Package Templates

You use an audit package template to restrict the total number of objects in an audit area to those objects that you want to transfer for local reporting or for BI reporting to Retention Warehouse for the purpose of an audit. This can be, for example, in preparation for a tax or financial audit or in relation to a product liability question.

An audit package template is based on an audit area. The objects, tables, and fields you selected when you entered the audit area are available in the audit package template. You can now use this function to restrict these further. You create an audit package based on an audit package template.
