Activity history and audit trail

What it is

Every document in Nordflow carries a complete log of everything that has happened to it — from the moment it arrived to the moment it was posted.

What gets logged

CategoryWhat is recorded
Receipt and captureWhen the document arrived, which channel (email, mobile upload, etc.), what the data-capture engine extracted
Field changesEvery edit to a field — old value, new value, user, timestamp
Flow eventsWhen the document moved between groups, and every approver action (approved, rejected, forwarded)
Comments and notesEvery note, including the author and any @mentions
Emails sentRecipient, subject, and timestamp for every email sent from the document
Pause and resumeBoth events, with the reason given
Warnings overriddenWhen an approver clicks past a warning (for example, a changed supplier bank account), the override is recorded so it is clear the decision was deliberate

Why it follows into your ERP or accounting system

When a document is fully approved and posted, Nordflow appends the complete activity history — including the notes thread — as extra pages at the end of the original PDF. Anyone viewing the document in your ERP or accounting system later (a finance colleague, an auditor) sees the full audit trail without needing to return to Nordflow.

The audit story lives with the document, not in a separate system.
