Audit logs should make warehouse decisions reviewable.
Define what must remain visible after receiving, movement, picking, billing, and exception decisions.
Auditability is most useful when it follows the work. Validate event history against the actions, actors, timestamps, changes, and evidence reviewers need.
What audit-log review supports
Clear answers about event history and operational accountability.
Rollout planning for workflows where exceptions or approvals matter.
Customer-service and quality conversations that need a clean answer to what happened.
Movement and status history
Keep receiving, location moves, holds, picks, counts, and releases tied to timestamped events.
Exception review
Make overrides and issue resolution visible enough for supervisors to understand the path taken.
Customer-facing confidence
Use event history to answer customer and internal questions without rebuilding the story from messages.
Talk through trust, scope, and pricing together.
