What is logged
The log is written by the database itself, so a change made outside the screens is caught too. The log tables accept new rows only; rows already written cannot be changed or deleted.
Read it
- Audit trail
- Edit log summary
Settings → Audit trail lists every logged change, newest first: when (UTC), who, from where, the action (create, update, delete), the record type and number, and the values before and after. Filter by record type, action and date range, and use Export CSV to hand the rows to your auditor.
Tamper evidence
Every night ARUKZ ERP seals the day’s log entries into a hash chain, and checks the whole chain again ten minutes later. If a logged row were rewritten or removed, even directly in the database, the check would no longer match and the edit log summary shows it.What the law asks, and what stays with you
- Rule 3(1) asks for an edit log of each change with its date that cannot be disabled. It does not forbid edits; ARUKZ ERP logs them.
- Section 128(5), as ICAI reads it, asks you to keep books and the trail for at least eight years. Keep your subscription, or take regular exports and the audit trail CSV.
- Whether your set-up meets the rules is for your auditor to report. These pages give them what they need to check.
