Security Question: Part Entry - Part Dimensions

We've pretty much always used the customized form approach and using a new menu item/security group to display one form to one group and a different menu item with a different form to another group.

Morning everyone.

I’ve ran into another wall and I’m hoping someone else has already climbed over this wall in the past and can offer some wisdom.

I have the need to somehow lock down the Part Dimensions tab within Part Entry. I need to restrict access to a few people.

I’ve tried Process Security on bo.PartDim.Update but that’s not actually the process that’s fired when you update a dimension in Part Entry. Part.Update is called. So....

I then tried my good friend BPM. Again, I attempted to monitor 3 fields in PartDim: DUM, DimConvFactor, DimCodeDescription. But the BPM would never fire.

Finally, I tried Field Level security on those 3 fields. Seemingly, at first, it was the solution. But, what I found out is that by applying Field Level security on the PartDim columns, when a user attempted to do a Job Receipt to Inventory, no Dimensions were available on the screen to choose from. Obviously this user was not an authorized user for those 3 fields in PartDim. So there goes that “solution”.

I guess my final thought would be to create a customized Part Entry screen and hide the Part Dimension tab and use menu security to hide/show the applicable Part Entry screen based on security. Authorized users would see one screen while unauthorized users would see the customized version without the Part Dim tab.

Is there a better way to do what I need to do that I’m overlooking?


TIA.

Vic, the custom/non-custom would be the best way to handle that and it’s cleaner. No real code to worry about.
