The All-New Edit Log Feature in TallyPrime

Edit log feature of TallyPrime

The edit log feature tracks and timestamps all activities for every transaction recorded in TallyPrime. The edit log record covers all actions right from creating, editing, or deleting records. The edit log features help the auditors/business owners trace all activities related to the transaction in question and enable them to construct a clear picture to determine the impact.

Alright, let’s take a look at the features of the edit log in TallyPrime

  • Edit log for transactions and masters

The new audit trail feature tracks activities such as creation, alteration, and deletion for all transactions recorded in TallyPrime. Not only for the transactions, but you can also track the activities for all the masters, such as ledgers, stock items, and groups, including the details edited in company masters.

  • Get to know when and who made the changes

Just tracking the activities/events of transactions is not sufficient. Knowing when and who recorded/edited the transactions is crucial to make complete sense of the edit log. TallyPrime’s edit log feature comes with the capability that captures user details right from creation to alteration to deletion, along with the date details.

  • Compare and know the version difference

One of the benefits of an audit trail is that it provides the details that help you construct the complete picture and, therefore, help you analyze the impact of the changes or modifications. TallyPrime’s edit log feature allows you quickly compare the previous version and know what elements users have modified.

  • Enhanced report to filter the edited or deleted transactions

All the reports, such as daybooks, voucher registers, etc., are enhanced with an option to filter and sort the edited and deleted transactions quickly.

  • Edit log feature enabled all the time Vs view logs intermittently 

    The need to maintain the edit log depends upon the internal control requirements of a business, and also, in some countries, it’s a statutory obligation to maintain the log. Some companies would like to maintain the edit log by default at all times, while others may want the flexibility that allows them to enable/disable the log as per their needs.

To cater to the varying business needs, Tally has made two different product releases, ‘TallyPrime Edit Log Release 2.1’ and the regular ‘TallyPrime release 2.1’. TallyPrime Edit Log Release 2.1 comes with an edit log feature enabled all the time, without an option to disable it. While TallyPrime Release 2.1 gives you the option to enable/disable the edit log when required.

TallyPrime’s edit log feature helps you maintain the edit logs, for each transaction along with the date & time of each change. You can also know the user’s name who initiated the change and track the deleted transaction. Not just transactions, you can track the changes made for accounting ledgers, accounting groups, and stock item masters. What’s more? You can easily track the modified transaction from reports and get to know the modified elements by comparing them quickly with a previous version.
