What is the "Fraud Detection — changes after approval" setting? (NetSuite)

ApprovalMax tracks all changes that are made to a finance document in NetSuite after the document has been approved in ApprovalMax.

This includes changes in Organisation- wide values such as Vendors, Expense Categories or Accounts. 

ApprovalMax enables Administrators to configure which changes will be tracked (see screenshot for reference). For example, it can be specified that a change of Vendor won’t be tracked while any change of the amount will.

This feature can be configured by clicking on the icon in the respective approval workflow:

If a change occurs in NetSuite, a notification email is sent to the Organisation Administrators to make them aware of it. To see the alteration, the Administrator needs to open the respective document in NetSuite and check the System Notes under the System Information tab.

In ApprovalMax, to see the detailed history of the changes made (i.e. both the previous and the new value), they need to open the ApprovalMax audit report in side-by-side mode and take note of the previous value before checking it against the new value:
