How to prevent sales people change cost of items

[FaFa168]

Hi there.

Anyone knows how to prevent sales people change the cost of itmes, right now,I disabled all the Card->Inventory->Item->Price List. but sales somehow can still change the cost of itmes so they can place orders bellow cost for some itmes for their customer. I once try to disable the item maintenance for sales class, but ends up when sales people place orders, they won't be able to view detail on sales order entry.

Can someone help me on this

Many thanks

You have to remove security to the windows too. Just removing the security from cards will disable them to go via the cards pallette, but they will be able to go to it from the other links on the sales transaction and other windows. Disable the security to price list window itself and not just the cards.

In SOP Setup Options unmark the Allow Prices Below Cost option.

Thanks for everyone's reponse.

This is what I did, I unchecked the item maintenance in the security.

So all sales won't be able even to see the item maintenance screen.

Lets see if sales people can beat the system from somewhere eles or not. 8=)

You can use Modifier, VBA or Field Level Security to hide the Unit Cost field on the Item Maintenance window.

This way you can still allow access to the window without allowing that field to be changed.

David, Is field level security a part of GP8.0? If yes, how to install and use it. Please advise.

I'm not sure if you are wanting to prevent the sales staff changing the Cost or the Price of an item.

If the Price, then you also need to be aware of the "Markdown" field (visible when a line Item is expanded) because entering a number in this field will also reduce the cost of an item on the customer's invoice.

We have not been able to find an easy way to in-activate this field, so run a report each month to show any invoices which have a Markdown as a means to keep track of this activity.

We are also using ver. 8
