Transaction or report to check changes to financial data

[Former Member]

Is there any transaction or a standard report which helps me to check any changes to financial data. I require this for auditing purposes. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Financial data is too generic, can you be more specific as to which financial data that you are interested in? Every document has its change log and every config table is logged for changes at the table level. Master data has change logs, so i am not sure which one you are looking for. In any case, there will not be one to show all of them in one report.

Thanks Srinivas. I am intrested in General Ledger changes. If there are changes made to G/L accounts, in what tables are they stored? Any what about changes made to G/L documents? Is FB04 the right transaction for this purpose?

I know this is too generic to answer, but it would be great if you can give me a link which could provide me with more information.

Again, do you want the changes done to the master data (GL Accounts) or transactions that effect the GL balance? For the master data changes you can check FS04, FSP4, and FSS4. For transactional data, you are basically looking at the documents that effect a particular GL account which in turn has its own change log. Yes, FB04 is the transaction for documents.

In general most of the changes are tracked using what are called change documents and this information is stored in CDHDR and CDPOS tables. You will have to figure out the OBJECT for your data and then you can read the changes from here. You can also use CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ function module. Take a look at other function modules within this function group.
