What’s happening?
The customer needs to determine what change was made to a parameters page by a specific user on a specific day, but the database log does not show any changes related to the vendor parameters page on that day.
 

Reason:
Audit was initially not enabled for database log, which means it can only show changes starting from the moment audit is enabled on the table.
 

Resolution:
To check for any changes made on the Vendor Parameters page in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations (D365 FO) for a specific day, follow these steps:

  1.  Navigate to the Database Log Setup:
    - Go to System administration > Setup > Database Log.
    - Here, you can set up audit logs for changes made to various records, including vendor parameters.
  2. Select the tables and fields you want to audit. Ensure the relevant tables for vendor parameters are included.
  3. To view the audit logs, navigate to Database Log:
    - Go to System administration > Inquiries > Database.
  4.  Once auditing is enabled, filter the audit logs by date. In the Audit trail inquiry form, set the date range to the specific day you are interested in. This will show you all changes made to the vendor parameters on that day.
  5.  The audit log will display details such as the user who made the change, the date and time of the change, and the old and new values of the fields that were modified.
