The Activity Log in Float is an audit trail that shows a history of payment-related events for Accounts Payable (AP) payments. It provides full visibility for finance teams and ensures accountability across all payment actions, making it easier to track and verify what happened at each stage of the payment process.
This guide explains where to find Activity Logs for AP payments and how to review them.
Please note: We began tracking AP Payment activity on May 13th, 2026. Payments created before this date will not show any historical activity. However, if you edited a pre–May 13th Payment, those edits will appear in that Payment's activity log.
What is Tracked in AP Payment Activity Logs?
For each event recorded, the activity log will show the date and time it occurred and, where applicable, which User triggered it:
