Changes to rates are stored in a log file and are turned on through a flag for Transaction Logging in the Edit Misc Control Fields screen. Besides the change itself being recorded in the log file, the date of the change is recorded as well as the employee code of the user making the change. This program reads the changes recorded in the log file and produces a report of those changes.
This report may be configured to run automatically at night. Users interested in this feature should contact Thermeon's Customer Support Dept. for further information.
To access this program, type RTEDIT (RET) at any menu "OPTION:" field or the appropriate line number from the Month End menu. The screen will display as follows:
