All inventory changes are tracked by writing transaction data into a [blockchain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain) inside the AyaNova database and this block chain is displayed in the Inventory transactions data table. Inventory transactions are required for any change of inventory and the inventory transaction blockchain is the only repository for inventory quantities in AyaNova.
|
||||
|
||||
Transactions that affect inventory are only ever written into the blockchain as new records appended to the end of the chain. Prior transactions are never removed or adjusted to record an inventory transaction. This gives a full and complete history of all inventory changes that were made and protects the integrity of the inventory balance system.
