Description
Provide all transactions linking previous bar code to the change to bar code in history inquiries. When you query an previous bar code, it does not display ALL the transaction history records linking it to the changed to bar code. It shows the changed to bar code in the that record, but it does not display step by step records that made the change. Even when you query on the changed to bar code, it does not ref. the old when you use the ADP & ACCT radio buttons.

Recommended
Provide all the transaction records that depict the changes from old to changed to bar code and vice versa. For example, query original bar code and display transactions:

1. end item inc proc
2. old bar code - end item sel change
3. old and changed to bar codes - end item bar code / serial nbr change with old and changed to bar codes
4. then changes to bar code - end item sel change.

Mission Critical

Benefits
Improves accuracy / accountability as a research tool.

Users
The number of users affected depends on the number authorized by the functional owner.
