What is an inventory audit trail?

Frequently asked questions

What is an inventory audit trail?
An inventory audit trail is a chronological, unchangeable log of every action taken in your inventory system who changed what, when, and from where. StockFlow records stock adjustments, order changes, user logins, and permission changes automatically in an activity log you can search and export.
Why do I need an activity log for inventory software?
An activity log lets you investigate discrepancies (was it a scan error, a manual override, or theft?), prove compliance during audits, and hold team members accountable for changes to stock, orders, and pricing without relying on memory or guesswork.
Can I see who made a specific stock change?
Yes. Every stock adjustment, order edit, and record change in StockFlow is attributed to the user who made it, with a timestamp, so you can trace any discrepancy back to its source in seconds.
Is the audit trail tamper-proof?
The activity log is append-only through the application: entries are created automatically by the system as actions happen and are not editable by end users, giving you a reliable record for internal review and compliance.
Can I export the audit trail for compliance?
Yes. Activity log entries can be filtered by date, user, or record type and exported for compliance reporting, insurance claims, or internal investigations.
Does the audit trail cover permission and role changes?
Yes. Changes to user roles and permissions are logged the same way as stock and order changes, so you always know who granted or revoked access and when.
