Authorization for Pricing

For costing, you can use the least restrictive authorization (Delete) or the most restrictive (None). If a user has None authorization for Costing but has full authorization for all other functions:

• With None authorization, the user will not be able to view sale prices and values when creating receiving slips, issue invoices or transfer documents. This way, warehouse employees can create issues with quantities, but cannot view the sale prices in these documents. This will also disable the user from using certain fucntions in issue document and transfers:
  • entering discounts
  • wizards
  • information and other tabs for document lines
• Information about the values in the document will not appear in look-up lists in receiving slips, issue invoices, and transfer documents;
• the Pricing section of the Costing/Pricing panel in the Items register cannot be viewed;
• with None authorization for Pricing, the user will not be able to view amounts, that is, prices when
  • adding orders
  • adding movements
  • adding orders using the picking list

It is recommended that certain other None authorizations be set for users with None authorization for Pricing: None authorization for the Subjects register (for browsedocuments and balance summary), and for report that contain sale prices and values. It is also recommended that you set personal settings (see Personal Settings) for the Find Item function that will prevent them from viewing sale prices.

If a user has None authorization for both Costing and Pricing, they will not be able to view the Costing/Pricing panel in the Items register.
