PURCHASING

Security setting changes for purchasing transaction definitions

Later this year, Sage Intacct will permit users to save draft purchase transactions without a document ID. This change ensures more efficient completion of your purchasing workflows, and provides more flexibility during transaction processing.

In this release, you'll see the first stage of the change in your purchase transactions. When you set security settings for transaction definitions, you can configure restrictions on a user's ability to edit, delete, or create transactions. Now those restrictions do not impact a user's ability to create or modify draft transactions.

Users must have appropriate application and entity-level permission to access transactions created with a transaction definition containing security restrictions.

Details

Your team members can now leverage additional document options when they want to create or edit a purchase transaction document containing restrictions: 

  • Users can create draft transactions.
  • Users can copy an existing transaction and save it as a draft.
  • Saved drafts can be edited later.
Users remain unable to post transactions created with a transaction definition containing security restrictions.

How it works

Transaction definitions can include security settings to restrict editing or have a create policy set to Convert only. These settings still allow users to edit or create new draft transactions, or make a copy of an existing transaction (More actions > Copy to). A copied transaction can be edited, saved as a draft, and edited later.

There are no configuration settings required for this feature change.
