An audit trail is a secure and comprehensive record of sequences in a process, depicting who did what and when. In the context of the Hopstack platform for inbound consignments, it chronicles every status change, action, or event associated with a consignment. The primary objective of this feature is to enhance transparency, accountability, and traceability, ensuring users have a clear line of sight into their shipment's journey from start to finish. By providing a detailed history of every activity linked to a shipment, users can pinpoint the exact status of their consignments and act promptly if any discrepancies arise.

Navigate to the Consignments section under the Inbound Logistics tab.
-

-
Click on the Action Menu (typically represented by three dots or a similar icon) adjacent to the order.

From the dropdown, select Audit Trail.
