Question

Hi All
I want to disable the document the discount field on the sales order document.
How can I achieve this ? I don't want the users to be able to change the discount value in the document level.
Thanks

Answer 1

I would request you to try the following options:
Option 1. Use Authorization:
Step1: Access Authorization window. To access the Authorizations window, choose  Administration  -> System Initialization  -> Authorizations .
Step2: for users (who are not superusers), set Max Discount to 0.01 (as per your max decimal places configured in General Settings-> Display).
Max. Discount: Specify the maximum discount that the user is authorized to enter in customer master records or sales documents.
Please note, this option will not work for superusers and will restrict discount entry in all sales documents (not only sales order as you require).
Option 2. Use Stored Procedure:
Step1: Access Authorization window. To access the Authorizations window, choose  Administration  -> System Initialization  -> Authorizations .
Step2: for users (who are not superusers), set Max Discount to 0.01 (as per your max decimal places configured in General Settings-> Display).
Max. Discount: Specify the maximum discount that the user is authorized to enter in customer master records or sales documents.
Please note, this option will not work for superusers and will restrict discount entry in all sales documents (not only in sales order as you require).
*Option 2. SBOSP_TransactionNotification*:_
IF(@object_type='17') -- Sales Order object value: 17
BEGIN
-- if transaction type is equal to 'add' (please note this line is sql comment)
IF(@transaction_type='A')
BEGIN
     -- if current business partner master - website field is having null/ less than 3 characters, then show error (please note this line is sql comment)
     IF Exists (SELECT T0.cardcode FROM ORDR T0 where (T0.DocEntry=@list_of_cols_val_tab_del) and (T0.DiscPrcnt > 0))
     BEGIN
        set @error = 2001
        set @error_message = N'You are not authorized to edit/ enter discount.'
     END
     ELSE
               -- show successful message (please note this line is sql comment)
     BEGIN
          set @error = 0
          set @error_message = N'Ok'
     END
END
END
Hope the information is helpful to resolve your issue.
Good Luck.
Thanks & Regards
