A transaction entered directly into IAR has a System Entry Date equal to what?

• A. The actual date it was manually entered
• B. The system date
• C. The date of approval
• D. The date of last edit

Answer: (A)

System Entry Date is the moment the transaction is created in IAR. When you enter a transaction directly by hand, the system records the exact date you actually entered and saved the record as the System Entry Date. This timestamp reflects creation, not what happens later in the workflow. The date of approval is when the entry moves through review, and the last edit date changes if you modify the entry after creation. So the System Entry Date equals the date you manually entered the transaction.
