How to Implement Function Security for Orders and Returns in Order Management 11.5.10.2

Another illustrative article from Ahmad Bilal.

Ahmad is also working on "Inventory Setup guide". That document too will be published as soon as it is ready.

Use function security to control user access to functions in the Order Organizer and Sales Orders window. Your system administrator customizes a responsibility at your site by including or excluding functions and menus in the Responsibilities window.

The form functions listed below are available by default, but may be excluded from menus tied to restricted responsibilities:

• Sales Orders

• Order Organizer

• Order Organizer View

Note: The functions Returns: Enter and Returns: View are available for backward compatibility with older releases of Oracle Order Entry. Do not use these for new installations. If you exclude Sales Orders, Order Organizer, and Order Organizer View from a responsibility, that responsibility’s users can neither access the Sales Orders window by selecting from the Navigator menu nor query orders from the Orders Organizer. If you exclude all three functions, you should also remove the Orders, Returns menu item from the Navigator.

• Sales Orders and Order Organizer gives you the right to view, enter or modify orders and returns.

• Order Organizer View only enables you to view the orders in the Sales Orders window from the Order Organizer.

Additionally, utilizing standard form functional security, you can restrict actions that a user can perform in the Sales Order window by adding or removing these functions from the menu associated with a responsibility.

Below lists the following actions that can be restricted using this feature.

Apply Holds

Authorize Payment

Book Order

Calculate Tax

Cancel Orders

Charges

Configurations (Link, Delink, Match & Reserve)

Copy Orders

Gross Margin

Mass Change

Send Notifications

Price Orders

Progress Order

Release Holds

Sales Credits

Schedule Orders

Function Security Example

Your company employs some individuals whose tasks include viewing orders and returns. They do not enter orders or returns.
