Hi Sueanne1, 

 

Thank you for sharing your concern with us on this platform.

 

I understand that the Journal Security Audit report might seem a bit complex due to the system transactions. To clarify, the SYSTEM user is a profile that's designed to record automated activities or background tasks. While it's usually hidden from sections like User Access and User selection in reports, it becomes visible in the Journal Security Audit report. These system actions are generally routine processes that can be disregarded. For example, when a financial year ends, AccountRight automatically creates certain transactions.

 

Please feel free to reach out if you need any further explanations. We are here to assist you.

 

Thanks,
Genreve

    Thanks Genreve,

     

    This doesn't make sense - the transaction I am querying is not a "routine process" by AccountRight.

    The transaction is a "Receive Money" against an invoice - which was the incorrect invoice allocation by whomever "SYSTEM" is/was!

     

    Yes - I require further explanation!
