Data Entry Control (DEC)

DEC is available to restrict catalog values to e.g. Cost Centres for a Legal Entity.

When in force, these restrictions apply to the entry of documents (e.g. Purchase Invoice) as well as any reporting & enquiries.

A User may be in multiple DAC Groups and when this is the case, will inherit the aggregate access.

Tip

You can apply the DEC to selected document contexts e.g. Purchase documents or even all document contexts. If as in the example given here, you only choose Purchase Documents then the DEC will apply to all Purchase documents. You can change the context at a later time.
