Please Endorse ER-98536

I'm asking if you would consider endorsing ER-98536. The request is to put an audit log entry for anything that may be impacted by the CU. Infor has already tried to say that CU's do not change existing data.

I put this in after a CU where, miraculously, our vendor numbers switched from our 5 digit format to the next largest number which was 99900XXXX. I spent a decent amount of time for the day looking at why this had switched and opened a ticket with support. In the end support suggested the most likely reason was because of the CU.

Vendor numbers are assigned based on the last vendor number on the vendor group. The CU does not automatically change the last vendor number. If you add a new vendor with the vendor number populated (e.g. via ISD) instead of leaving it blank (so that it can be auto-assigned), it will change the last vendor number on vendor group and all subsequent vendors will be created from that number onwards.

Let me give a little more context. We migrated from S3 to V11 in October of last year. In S3 the last Vendor number created was 23378 on 9/23. For whatever reason accounting also had vendors listed with the 999XXXXX. When we go live the next new vendor number to be created was 99905337 and it goes sequentially through 99905361. If the system is going off of the "last" number, this make since if it is looking at the numerical value. We struggle for a couple months to work with this but then Support helps a fellow coworker reset the Last Vendor under Vendor Groups via user action on 12/12. From 12/14 to 1/17 it goes sequentially from 23379 to 23388.

The next vendor number created was on 2/2/23 and it is 99905363 and it follows sequentially until Support helps walk me through using the user action on 4/11/23. Since then, it has been back to the 5 digit and has stayed that way. I checked the audit log for the user action, and it has only had anything done to it on the dates mentioned. As I said in my initial post, in the incident with support, the answer they gave me was it was most likely something that happened with the CU.

I'm not asking for a full in-depth entry in the audit log of everything done to every screen. Support had me go through checking the field history and audit logs in Vendor Group and there was nothing showing there was any change in January. All of the information found and patterns discovered were from my own digging into the situation. If there would have been something on either the history or the audit logs it would have saved me a good amount of time.
