Time Limit for Changing Documents

Time Limit for Changing Documents

Apart from defining the authorization level, you can specify how long changes made to the document stay valid. Some examples are:

• 0 = current day,
• 1 = current day and the day before,
• 30 = thirty days back,
• -1 = unlimited, all documents can be changed.

In some cases, multiple dates are involved, and this parameters pertains to a specific one:

• Goods - Issue module on date of packing slip (it is authentic for warehouse card)
• Goods - Receiving module on date of receipt (it is authentic for warehouse card)
• in Orders module on date of order 
• in Financials module on period date of journal entry

1. Time Limit for Making Changes - 0 Days

Assign delete authorizations for document 300 - Wholesale to the user "JN". At the same time the moment the time limit for changes  is set to 0 days.

What does this represent for the user?

1. The user can enter here only those documents containing date of packing slip falling on today's date. 

2. Trying to change document date to any earlier date is not successful and the program returns an error (see You do not have the required authorization for this operation (xxx)! (Document cannot be edited anymore!)).

3. You are, however, allowed to change date to any later date.

2. Time Limit for Making Changes - 1 Day

For comparison sake let us take a look when you assign delete authorizations to user "JN" for document type 300 - Wholesale, and time limit for making changes to it is set to 1 day.

What does this represent for the user?

1. Here the user can enter only those documents containing date of packing slip falling on the current date or day before. 

2. Trying to change document date to any date earlier than yesterday is not successful, and an error is returned (see You do not have the required authorization for this operation (xxx)! (Document cannot be edited anymore!)).

3. You are, however, allowed to change date to any later date.
