Audit in peoplesoft

PeopleSoft audit on a table is done to track the changes done to fields and records. It's a delivered object so we can have to just configure it through application designer and we can see the report.

There are two types of auditing delivered already in PeopleSoft:

1) Field Level
2) Record Level

1) Field Level: Field level auditing tracks changes to one or more fields on a PeopleSoft record and stores the results in the delivered PSAUDIT and PSAUDITEXT table.

2) Record Level: Record level auditing tracks changes to done on peopleSoft record and stores the results in the delivered PSAUDIT table. It is better to for record level audit if your fields are more than four.
