Authorizations
This function is object managed. The creation, modification, and deletion operations can be activated or deactivated for a given user. Filters by roles can also be associated with this function.
As data is linked to a site, a filter per site can be activated.
Entry Transactions
This function is managed with entry transactions which can be set up.
A standard transaction is suggested when installing the software. A setup function is used to modify this standard transaction or create new personalized transactions. This setup essentially exists to specify some functional characteristics of the transaction and display as well as the default loading for certain fields.
Miscellaneous prerequisites
The suppliers to whom the RFQ is addressed must systematically be referenced in the supplier file, and can be either of the standard, miscellaneous or prospect type. This referencing can be made before using the function or when creating a RFQ provided the user has the requisite authorizations.
