Is it possible to create a Quick Report for our history logging in supplier and customer changes?

We can order this with the report generator but we need it as QR as well to get an extract in Excel.

Should be possible history_log , history_log_attribute are the views you should be constructing the report on


Here is an example of a Quick Report query that assembles all changes into specific records:

 

SELECT "Change ID", "Timestamp", "Change Type", "Changed By", 
SUBSTR("Address ID", 2, LENGTH("Address ID") - 2) AS "Address ID",
SUBSTR("Company", 2, LENGTH("Company") - 2) AS "Company",
SUBSTR("Payment Method", 2, LENGTH("Payment Method") - 2) AS "Payment Method",
SUBSTR("Supplier ID", 2, LENGTH("Supplier ID") - 2) AS "Supplier ID",
NVL(SI.Name, '(Supplier Not Found)') AS "Supplier Name", "Changes"
FROM
(SELECT HL.Log_Id AS "Change ID", TO_CHAR(HL.Time_Stamp, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS') AS "Timestamp", HL.History_Type AS "Change Type",
HL.Username AS "Changed By", REGEXP_SUBSTR(Keys, '\=(.*?)\^', 1, 1) AS "Address ID",
REGEXP_SUBSTR(Keys, '\=(.*?)\^', 1, 2) AS "Company", REGEXP_SUBSTR(Keys, '\=(.*?)\^', 1, 3) AS "Supplier ID",
REGEXP_SUBSTR(Keys, '\=(.*?)\^', 1, 5) AS "Payment Method", HLA.Changes AS "Changes"
FROM History_Log HL INNER JOIN
(SELECT Log_Id,
LISTAGG(Column_Name || ': From {' || Old_Value || '} to {' || New_Value || '}', CHR(10))
WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY Column_Name) AS Changes FROM History_Log_Attribute GROUP BY Log_Id) HLA ON HL.Log_Id = HLA.Log_Id
WHERE Module = 'PAYLED'
AND LU_Name = 'PaymentAddress'
AND Table_Name = 'PAYMENT_ADDRESS_TAB'
AND Keys LIKE '%PARTY_TYPE=SUPPLIER%'
AND TRUNC(HL.Time_Stamp) BETWEEN TO_DATE('&From', 'MM/DD/YY') AND TO_DATE('&To', 'MM/DD/YY')
ORDER BY HL.Time_Stamp) H
LEFT OUTER JOIN Supplier_Info SI ON SUBSTR(H."Supplier ID", 2, LENGTH(H."Supplier ID") - 2) = SI.Supplier_ID

This is specific to changes to the PaymentAddress LU, so a lot of the query is specific to that. It also uses LISTAGG() to put all changes into one field. Works fairly well.

Hopefully this will be helpful as you create a query, though you may not need it to be this complicated…

 

Good luck,

That looks awesome!
Thank you both for you replies!
