The function allows users to retrieve a record of modifications made to data within the Tally accounting software. This record, detailing which entries were altered, when they were changed, and by whom, can be obtained as a digital file. As an illustration, one might employ this functionality to acquire a chronological list of every adjustment made to a specific ledger account during a defined fiscal period, documenting the username and date of each individual change.
Accessing these modification records is important for maintaining data integrity, ensuring regulatory compliance, and facilitating internal audits. The availability of a downloadable file makes it easier to analyze the data offline, integrate it with other systems, and archive it for future reference. Historically, such detailed audit trails were difficult to obtain in accounting software, necessitating time-consuming manual processes. This functionality provides a streamlined solution to a previously cumbersome task.
