Hi there, @dawiteli. I'm glad to provide information about the User System Administrator Changed Settings events you see in the audit log. 

 

When you notice events named as User System Administrator Changed Settings in the audit log, it means that QuickBooks Online (QBO) made changes. The edits created by the program are an automatic action due to several reasons. Please refer to the following:

 

  • You modify an entry, and that action will affect another record. For instance, if you change a payment and link it to a different invoice, you may see a System Administration event for a change to the original invoice.
  • There is a third-party app connected to QBO. When the app sends data to the program, or when it makes a change to the existing data, this appears as a System Administration event.
  • You create a recurring transaction, such as a recurring expense. When QBO automatically adds an instance of the transaction to your books, a System Administration event appears in the audit log.
  • You set up other events to happen automatically, even when you’re not signed in. 

 

For more details, check out this article: Use the audit log in QuickBooks Online.

 

Customising reports in QBO is easy. This process is truly helpful so you can only see the important part of your business. When done, simply memorise the modification for future use. 

 

That's it. I hope that I answered your question. If you have other concerns or follow-up about the System Administrator event, feel free to add a comment below. I'm always ready to provide to answers. Take care and have a wonderful day.
