Restricted user behavior in Accounts Payable

To enforce the restrictions you place on users and to protect the integrity of your data, we made the following changes to restricted user behavior.

AP purchase invoice approval

Department-restricted users cannot approve or decline AP purchase invoices that contain line items coded to departments outside of their restrictions. They can approve or decline an AP purchase invoice when all line items are within their restrictions.

This change ensures that when users approve AP purchase invoices, they are doing so with full knowledge of all line items. The new behavior matches existing behavior for entity-resticted users, who can only approve or decline an AP purchase invoice when all line items are for restricted entities.

Editing AP purchase invoices

Entity-restricted and department-restricted users cannot post edits that they make to AP purchase invoices that contain line items outside their restrictions.

This change ensures that users are allowed to modify only transactions for which they have full visibility.
