Job number
Job number identifies the archive currently being read. Compare it with Archive history when you are checking which saved job you retrieved. Keep the same exact reference if you later choose to restore that archive.
Retrieved history
Retrieved history lets you read records you have put aside without returning them to your everyday stock pages. Use it when you want to understand an old observation, correction or production event but do not need to restore the whole archive.
The view shows one detail on each line, with its name beside the saved contents. One original entry therefore appears on several lines: its date, amount and note may be shown separately. Use the entry’s number in Record to keep those details together as you read.
How to use this page
Find the Job number in Archive history. On Archive & restore, type it in B4, the cell where column B and row 4 meet. Choose Maintenance → Retrieve selected job through the development add-on. This opens a reading view of the old history; it does not apply the events again or change today’s stock.
- Check Job number to make sure you opened the intended archive.
- Read Entry page to see where the original entry belonged, then find its number under Record.
- Read that record’s Field and Saved value lines together. Field names the detail, such as its date or quantity; Saved value shows what was written there.
Read dates by their names. An incident date tells you when the observed situation happened. A recording date tells you when someone wrote it down. A maintenance date tells you when the archive work happened. Those dates can differ because they describe different events.
Read the history here without changing these cells. If you need the complete history back on the working pages, use Restore selected job on Archive & restore and follow its preparation and entry-pause steps.
Entry page
Entry page names the worksheet where the information originally belonged, such as Add Stock, Stock notes or a correction history. It helps you recognize the meaning of the fields beside it. A quantity on a receipt and a quantity on a loss entry describe different things, even if their numbers happen to match.
Record
Record shows the number or label of the original entry. Find all the lines with that same number so you can read its details together. This prevents one entry’s date from being mistaken for the date of a neighbouring entry and keeps an amount with its own unit and explanation.
Field
Field names the part of the original entry being displayed, such as a quantity, date or correction reason. It tells you how to interpret Saved value. Read it with Entry page and Record so you know both the kind of entry and the particular detail you are looking at.
Saved value
Saved value contains what was written in the detail named under Field. Read the other lines for the same Record to understand the complete entry. Notes and corrections keep their explanations, and an applied batch note keeps the members it affected when it was saved.
You are reading existing history here. A later restore returns those saved records with their original stock numbers; it does not create new stock numbers or treat the old work as another event happening today.
