For the purposes of auditing and error identification/correction, the system must support a comprehensive document concept and audit trail. This means that the system captures all inventory transactions in the form of a system document. You can then retrieve these documents for review.

Currently, many inventory transactions create system documents – article documents, accounting documents, and revaluation documents – to capture all of the details of the event. These documents can be used as an audit trail. However, some inventory transactions such as transfers, markup cancellations, markdown cancellations, promotional markdowns, local markdowns, and employee discounts, are either only partially captured in a system document, or not at all. Furthermore, these system documents reside outside of the RMA stock ledger, and each one is available in different places. For inventory transactions that are partially captured, the system creates new documents and displays them when requested in a single document. The values captured by the existing documents in SAP ERP are all based on the Cost Method of Accounting. Therefore, some of these documents (for example, article documents for transfers, retail revaluation documents) are not appropriate for the RMA, although they exist and can be displayed in SAP ERP.

The list shown below contains all inventory transactions, and descriptions of the document concept supported for each transaction. In some cases, existing documents are presented; in other cases, the system creates and displays a new document. For the new documents that need to be created when an audit trail document list is displayed, the system displays a list of single line items. The list includes an identifier for each line item. The identifiers create a single document from multiple items within the same document.

The following table displays the Audit Trail document displayed when you choose the particular bucket:

The Audit Trail documents can either be accessed by drilling into the stock ledger reports 0RMA_MP01_Q0001; 0RMA_MP01_Q0002, 0RMA_MP01_Q0003, 0RMA_MP01_Q0004, or by transaction WRMA_AUDITTRAIL

Transaction WRMA_AUDITTRAIL
