Using Security with Receipts
You can use security with the Receipt Entry form, separately assigning the persons who can:
-
Add, edit, and invoice receipts.
-
View receipt costing information.
-
Print receiving slips.
-
Import receipts.
-
Export receipts.
Purchase Orders provides a security permission to "Show Receipt Costing Information." This allows you to have warehouse staff receive goods and enter quantities received, but prevent them from viewing cost information.
If users do not have the "Show Receipt Costing Information" security right, they will not be able to view item unit cost information on receipts — including totals, taxes, discounts, and additional cost amounts. (In other words, the Taxes tab, Additional Costs tab, and Totals tab will not appear on the Receipt Entry form for users do not have this right.)
Note: Pre-printed forms PORCP03.RPT and PORCP04.RPT will print cost information. If you want to hide costs on these forms, you will need to customize them.
You can also assign security to item costs in Inventory Control if you do not want to display the item costs from Inventory Control on receipt detail lines. The Unit Cost and Extended Cost fields will then display only zeroes in Purchase Orders, although you can type in cost amounts when entering transactions.
Note that item cost security in I/C does not apply to any Vendor Contract Costs entered in Purchase Orders.
