    First all the users should not have the permission for General Ledger Setup so that every user cannot change it.

    But if you cannot do that then enable the change log on General Ledger Setup table. So whenever someone change it you get an new entry in Change Log Entries.

    You need to enable the change log to track the changes done by user.

    If yo have Enabled the Change Log Setup and Selected the Fields for Which you want to keep track then it is Possible see who has Changed the Dates, you can type search box Change Log Entries from the entries you select table Caption General Leger Setup Table.

    If the Change Log is not Activated then at leas now you can do it typing Change Log Setup in the Search Box and then form setup Enable the Change Log after that from the top ribbon action Tab click on the Tables there you will see the table and default tracking select items.

    from the list of tables select the table you need keep track  you can select any of the 3 option Insert, Modify , Delete Log for All the fields on the table or selected fields

    Thanks

    Hi

    You Screen shot is Cut some information, bu as i Explain Before from the Change Log Entries you need to Filter Based on The Table Caption Field right now you see all the the tables just filter it to the General Leger Setup Table then you will be able to see which user is Inserted, Modify & Delete record from the table only if you have selected this table in the change log setup and have selected all fields or specific fields under Insert, Modify & Delete .

    Thanks

    Were the change log been activated before the change happen? If so you will be able to track the user who did the changes to General Ledger Setup. (Link)

    * More importantly you need to assign the related user permission to restrict users from unwanted system access. It is always good to take precautionary actions, rather than looking for answers after something bad happen.

    Don’t worry, similar kind of issues occurring in another companies too.

    Better practice is to restrict the General Ledger Setup to common users. Also enable the Change Log Setup for the General Ledger Setup table from Dynamics NAV or by SQL.

    If you are setting up Change Log setup in the Dynamics NAV, make sure to add INSERT, MODIFY permissions in the change log entry table. Otherwise you will face errors from Users not having permissions to insert the records in the Change entry table.
