In Sage CRM each Record that belongs to the system has 3 change fields

xxxx_createddate

xxxx_updateddate

xxxx_timestamp

As a record is inserted the 3 fields are marked with the date and time of the insertion. As the record is changed using the Sage CRM user interface (or APIs) then the updateddate and the timestamp change to the date and time at which the changes are saved.

I believe the timestamp field is used by web services based ERP integrations to keep track of changes for synchronisation.
