Keep source documents in a consistent folder or transcript with provider, title, date, credit amount, category, certificate, and reporting confirmation.
Keep a complete activity record
Store activity title, provider, completion date, original credit amount/unit, category, certificate or attendance evidence, and any identifier the authority requires.
Preserve the rule you relied on
Save the authority source and verification date beside the activity log. If the rule changes later, you can distinguish the old cycle from the new one.
Audit the log before the authority does
Look for duplicates, missing certificates, blank dates, mismatched totals and activities near category caps before filing the renewal.
