Hi,
I have several clients that do this for exactly the reason you stated. They want to know how many transactions each of their clerks are entering per day. Someone else may post the transactions, but the clerks enter them. After they are entered , they are sent off for approval, etc. so that there is no value in the posting or batch information.
What we use is the Activity tracking feature. Set this up in Administration | Activity Tracking.
The metric to track is:
Activity type: File Tracking
Activity: Additions to Trx Files.
This will tell you how many transactions were added by the users you are tracking. It will also tell you which transactions they were :)
I also have clients who use this to determine who entered a journal entry. Often, the person entering the transaction is not the same as the person who posts the transaction.
Hope this helps!
Kind regards,
Leslie
