What audit trails does VIM create for invoices?

VIM creates a time-stamped audit trail covering every action taken on an invoice from receipt through posting. Each workflow step records who acted, what they did (approval, rejection, routing, edit), and any comments added along the way. The record builds automatically as the invoice moves, so audit documentation stops being a separate task someone assembles later. Even capture corrections are attributable, so an auditor can see who validated each field.

At the close of an invoice's lifecycle, VIM renders the workflow history into an audit-ready PDF that is attached to the process along with the invoice document, which gives auditors complete insight without querying SAP tables. Its history reporting shows how transactions moved through the system, including approval chains and exception handling. A Chart of Authority within VIM documents who holds financial approval rights at which thresholds, which supports SOX compliance and internal audit reviews; it needs an automated maintenance process, because an outdated authority chart both undermines the control it exists to prove and becomes a standing manual burden for AP administration. Invoice documents and their metadata are archived in the OpenText repository, creating a searchable record of every invoice processed.
