Inventory Control Security: Overview

If security is turned on for your Sage ERP Accpac system, users without Inventory Control security assignments have no access to Inventory Control.

To view records and to print reports in Inventory Control, users must belong to a security group with Common Inquiry permission.

Common Inquiry permission by itself does not let users edit any Inventory Control records. To allow users in a security group to edit records or perform processing tasks, you must grant the group access to additional tasks from the following list:

  • Price/Sales Analysis Inquiry

    Allows users to preview and print Price Lists and Contract Pricing reports.

  • Stock Control Inquiry

    Allows users to preview and print Overstocked Items (available print options: Quantity Greater than Maximum Level, Quantity Greater Than Projected Sales), Reorder Report, Slow Moving Items, Inventory Movement, Aged Inventory, Bin/Shelf Labels and Item Labels reports.
