Description:
Finance Recalculations on a project do not trigger a system update or appear in the Updates tab, Audit Logs, or the Adobe Admin Console Audit Log. Per a recent Workfront Support request, I was informed that this action is considered a background process and is not currently tracked in the standard system or audit logs, and there’s no built-in setting to enable logging.
Why is this feature important to you -
Tracking of hours and actual cost is integral within Workfront for reporting, and is often a cross-departmental mandatory required reporting functionality, sometimes in terms of governance. It should considered as best practice, when finances are recalculated within a project, that there is a system automated date/timestamp and audit log tracking created for this.
How would you like the feature to work -
Preferably there would be an automated update of a successful (or unsuccessful) recalculation attempt, which should show which object unique ID the attempt was made for in Workfront System Audit Log and the Adobe Admin Console Audit Log. Further, a System Update should be made within the project Updates menu itself, the same way it would be when a project changes status, etc.
Current Behavior -
As stated previously, this very important best-practice feature, I'm told by Workfront Support, is not available at all. The only thing I've noticed upon any sandbox testing of Finance Recalculation on projects is that there is a brief pop-up, that is too fast to read and easy to miss on larger projects (because it can take a very long time staring at a screen for larger projects to Finance Recalculate).
