Restricting certain employees the option of ONLY entering quotes can be done by making two changes to the settings on the system.
For the first setting, go to:
-
Order Processing (Module 6)
-
System Management Functions (Task 32)
-
Modify Application Tables (Sub-task 17)
- Order Entry Printer Assignments (Selection 2) plus
- Holding File Printer Assignments (Selection 3…if the employee has access to the Holding File)
-
Modify Application Tables (Sub-task 17)
-
System Management Functions (Task 32)
For the specific user, set the printer name in columns 1 through 5 to all ‘NNNNNN’. The exception is column 6 (which is for printing quotes), enter a valid printer ‘name’.
For the second setting, go to:
-
Order Processing (Module 6)
-
System Management Functions (Task 32)
-
Modify Application Tables (Sub-task 17)
- Default Terminal Whse/Dept’s
-
Modify Application Tables (Sub-task 17)
-
System Management Functions (Task 32)
For the specific user, under the “TRX” column set the last two characters to “#2”. This will automatically default the order transaction type to “Quote” and only a quote….the user can’t use any other order transactions type (Order, Credit Memo, etc.)
