All users have access to all business unit supplemental data, unless you set up security. Setting up security for supplemental data enables you to control user access to:

  • Data entry forms

  • Inquiry forms

  • Reports

Security is based on user IDs and supplemental data types. The system stores security information in the Supplemental Data Type Security table (F0080).
