Re: Restricted Authority In Manufacturing.

I am sorry Gary, I am not sure, precisely, what this expression means...
"(ie raising of the batch card)".
However, I can tell you that we actually had to write some code to modify
the Production Details program along with an authority file to store users
names...  This way we can allow only those users whose names are in that
file to actually perform any maintenance, otherwise they are redirected to
an enquiry screen...  We've had to add field level security within some
programs using the same method...

Our motivation was to prevent anyone from changing the Routes and
Structures because we use frozen standard costs that are set at the
beginning of each year...  We have since modified our AFI design to include
a variance account thereby permitting our users to make route changes
throughout the year while preserving the ability to derive an accurate
variance value...  We will be implementing the new AFI rules at the
beginning of the next fiscal year...

Short of custom code like this I do not see a solution for what I think you
are describing...  I am assuming here that the normal JBA security will not
meet your needs.

Good luck.

We want to be able to restrict the manufacture (ie raising of the batch
card) of
serveral products. Due to the complexity of the formula the R & D lab want
to be
able to supervise the production of each batch of these 'restricted'
products.
Can JBA handle this, ie. is there the facility to limit which user can
raise a
batch card for particular products.
We are on 3.5.2b sp 2
Thanks,
Gary.
