Deleting Transactions

[baymax]

Hi,

If a Transaction is deleted, is there anyway to have to include the Invoice # (and the amount?) that was associated for that Transaction in Activity Logs?

Right now, it only includes something like this:

Deleted Transaction - Transaction ID: 1558

This is not very helpful...

I know it's very bad practice to delete a Transaction but the reason I ask for this feature is because I can't control what our employees so sometimes mistakes are made.

Is there a hook for this?

Still in Activity Log try looking for 1558. You should find "Added Transaction - Transaction ID: 1558" followed by "Added Invoice Payment: Invoice ID XXX" .

Yes, but even with that requires a bit of investigation to find out the Invoice ID. 

If you do a search using the Trans ID, the 'Added Invoice Payment ' log does not come up hence why it would be helpful to have that included.

You can do it yourself.

<?php

add_hook('AddTransaction', 1, function($vars) {
   logActivity('This is my custom log');
});

Hi Kian,

Can you please let me know what this does?

I added this hook but I didn't notice any changes.

It creates a log in Utilities > Logs > Activity Log every time a transaction is added. You just need to get transactions details (eg. ID, amount, payment method...) with a query and store them in log. This way you can retreive information about deleted transactions directly from Activity Log.

Exactly, you should not delete transactions unless there is a good reason.

You can't control what employees do? Yes you can. Why are you giving them permission to delete transactions?

You can assign specific individual permissions per group and staff user. One of them is delete transactions. Just uncheck that for those users.
