FieldEx keeps a detailed audit trail for every inventory or part movement allowing teams to trace quantity adjustments, bin transfers, and user actions. This article explains:

  • Where to view transfer logs and quantity change history

  • What information is tracked for each action

  • How to use this data for audits and accountability

What Is the Inventory Audit Trail?


The Inventory History screen in FieldEx acts as a full audit log. Every time a user moves parts between bins or adjusts quantities, the system records it as a new entry with timestamps and responsible user.

Audit logs are automatically captured for:

  • Bin-to-bin transfers (including technician/user bins)

  • Quantity adjustments (manual edits or system updates)

  • Received stock and removed stock transactions

  • Returned unused parts from jobs

Why this matters: The audit trail is essential for internal controls, inventory reconciliation, and understanding how spare parts are being consumed or returned across the field.

Where to View Inventory History


Use the Inventory History tab to view a live log of all inventory-related actions.

Using the Audit Trail for Operational Checks


Inventory movement records help different teams verify field accuracy and spot anomalies. Common use cases include:

  • Warehouse audits to reconcile stock levels

  • Tracking part usage against specific jobs

  • Reviewing returns of unused parts

  • Cross-checking actions by specific users or time periods

Tip: You can export inventory history reports for audits or filter by date, user, or part type to narrow down the review scope.
