FFS_FLDVAL_DTL |
Use to establish additional options for each field. |
At the Installation Options level for Order Management, you establish whether to use feature function security.
The pages that you use to set up the security are the same irrespective of whether you are establishing feature function security by installation, business unit, role, or user ID. Feature function security at the installation level is required and is used as the default. The hierarchy of the security from bottom to top is installation, business unit, role, and user ID.
It is important that you carefully consider how you are going to use the levels of security that you establish and that you examine your choices if you are encountering problems with the system. For example, you may have two CSRs who can update different fields based on their user ID or role security.
Use the Features page (FFS_USERFTR) to set up feature function security for features at the installation, business unit, role, and user level.
