Optimize security using Field Level Security
During an Implementation of Microsoft Dynamics GP, My client asked me how can I hide the Unit Cost field in SOP Transaction Entry window for certain users (not for all users). If the client said he needed it for all users, my job is quite simple, as to just go to global setting of SOP wherein I unmark the Display Item Unit cost option.

Field Level Security (Termed as Advanced Security in Dynamics GP V9.0) is an additional security layer(module) in Microsoft Dynamics GP that provides the ability to restrict access to any field, window or form. It does offer several options in terms of access restriction through Security Modes. Let us see what security modes does the FLS poss...
