A manufacturing audit trail nobody has to keep.
Bulk writes the log entry in the same step that saves the change: who, what, when and at which site. Every production job and order keeps its own log, so when an auditor asks, the answer is already on it.
Corrections keep the original count and the reason.
People miscount, so a recorded count can be corrected. Bulk asks for a reason and keeps it on the entry with the count before and after. Stock adjustments and hold releases need one too.
Find any entry by machine, person or record.
Search by person, or by a machine, job or record an entry names, narrow by site or date, and share the view as a link. A change made through an AI assistant is logged under the person whose AI connection it uses.
Audit trail questions, answered.
What is an audit trail in manufacturing?
It is a time-stamped history of who did what, to which record and when, kept so quality, customer and safety audits can check what actually happened rather than what people remember.
What does Bulk's audit trail record?
Each entry keeps the person, the action, the record it touched, the site and the time to the second. Ordinary edits keep the fields that changed, and corrections keep the value before and after with the reason. Sign-ins, password changes and turning on two-factor sign-in are logged too. Changes Bulk makes on its own are logged under the system rather than a person, and passwords, tokens and PINs are blanked out before anything is written.
Do we have to switch logging on?
No. Every part of Bulk that changes data has to declare the log entry it writes, or give a written reason it writes none, and Bulk’s release checks stop code that does neither.
Can anyone edit or delete a log entry?
No one in your company can, admins included. Entries can’t be edited or deleted, and the only audit-trail permission is View audit logs. If a record itself is deleted (a task, for example), the deletion is logged as well.
Does Bulk's audit trail help with ISO 9001 or customer audits?
It gives auditors a time-stamped record of who changed production counts, quality holds, stock and sign-ins, with the reason for each correction. Bulk isn’t a certification, and your auditor decides what evidence satisfies a clause.
Who can see the audit trail?
The company-wide Activity Logs page, under Settings › Organization, needs the View audit logs permission, held by Super user, Entity admin and Manager by default, and you can add it to roles you build. A production job’s or order’s own Logs tab is visible to anyone who can view that job or order.
