The customer is upgrading to APP9 and they are asking about the new History tab on the Shop Order. There is now an Order History tab and a Material History tab. I believe the Material History information was always available but now it is included under a History tab with Order History information.
The customer wants to know that when they are tracking this Order History, how long will this information be available? Is this working with History Logging where they can have this automatically cleaned up based on the setup for History Logging or is this Order History on the Shop Order independent of that?
The customer is also asking what is the impact that this additional history logging could have on our system.
This works independently, it logs the changes done to shop order from it has been planned to close.

Usage
Use this tab to view the history records of the actions taken on the shop order. A history record logs the new and the old value when a manual change is done to the shop order header, material lines or operation rows. Rescheduling of the shop order, or shop order operation using drag-and-drop will also generate history records as well as state changes in shop order, material lines and operations.
Note that order history only logs the values actually changed and not possible secondary effects caused by the change. Also, transactions related to performing the shop order are not logged.
In the header there are check boxes to select and view records for shop order header, material lines or operations. By default, these check boxes are selected. The Status Changes check box is used to show the status changes accordingly. If it is selected, it will show the records related to the status changes of the shop order, operation, and material depending on the status of the other check boxes.
So only the changes mentioned above (header, material lines, operations, and status changes) are logged.
History logging can log much more information than this history.
