  • Use the Actions Menu to create a NEW Definition, modify (EDIT) or DELETE an existing one. 
  • Use BACK to return to the Summary page and CANCEL  to revert any unwanted changes made to the Financial Transactions Definition.  
  • Click on the Audit Log button to view a log of changes performed on the displayed  Financial Transactions Definition.
