Common Report Questions
Q: If I change my financial account mapping how long will that take to reflect on the Audit Trail?
A: All changes made to account mappings should reflect on the Audit Trail within one day.
Q: Why aren't all accounts from the accrual basis Journal Entry showing up on the Audit Trail?
A: To figure out why accounts are not showing on the Audit Trail, first check that the accounts you're looking for are not Deferred Revenue, Prepaid Deposits or Accounts Receivable. Next, confirm if any changes have been made to your financial account mapping between the time you ran the Journal Entry report and the Audit Trail report. If changes have been made in that time, the old accounts may no longer reflect on the Audit Trail report as the changes are retroactive.
