This panel displays the history of the requests that have been reported by your business partners and is available for future reference in this file.
Each transaction that has been made is registered here via the Balance file for balance type 084 (the applicable data for the balance type is updated when you run the routine Start periodical balance update). This balance type can then, in turn, be included in reports you create via the Profitability Analysis tool in DC1 Analyser and the DC1 Report Writer. This can be used as follow-up to track the hours spent working on the request (per request number and handler). This log can be used to provide management with accurate information in case any discrepancies arise or any service complaints are reported by your customer. It can also be used to track the cost that each request has incurred your firm.
