問題文
Why is it important that each change be recorded against the asset rather than overwriting it?
選択肢
- History does not matter for assets, so it is fine to lose the sequence of changes, even though later renewals and amendments start from the current state and audits need to reconstruct how that state was reached over the life of the subscription.
- Overwriting the asset in place is preferable because keeping just the latest value saves space, even though it destroys the record of how the asset changed and leaves renewals, amendments, and audits with no accurate history to work from at all.
- Recording each change as an action and state period keeps the asset's history accurate, which renewals, amendments, and audits depend on.
- The asset's color must stay consistent, and the quantities are kept elsewhere anyway, so overwriting the asset itself costs the business nothing, and the earlier figures are recovered from the orders.
