Function Security for Orders and Returns

Use function security to control user access to functions in the Orders Workbench, the Sales Orders window, and the Returns window. Your system administrator customizes a responsibility at your site by including or excluding functions and menus in the Responsibilities window.

The functions listed below are available by default, but may be excluded individually or severally:

Sales Orders: Enter

Sales Orders: View

Returns: Enter

Returns: View

If a responsibility enables you to enter an order or return, you can automatically view orders or returns as well.

If you exclude both Sales Orders: Enter and Sales Orders: View from a responsibility, that responsibility's users can neither access the Sales Orders window via the Navigator menu nor query orders from the Orders Workbench. If you exclude both Returns: Enter and Returns: View, users can neither access the Returns window nor query returns from the Orders Workbench. If you exclude all four functions, you should also remove the Orders, Returns menu item from the Navigator.

Function Security Example: Orders and Returns

Your company employs some individuals whose tasks include viewing orders and entering returns. They do not enter orders.

1. Navigate to the Responsibilities window.

2. Query an existing responsibility whose functionality you want to limit, or define a new one.

3. In the Function and Menu Exclusions block, choose Function as the type of exclusion rule to apply against the responsibility.

4. Select Sales Orders: Enter as the name of the function.

5. Save your work.

6. Assign users to the responsibility.
