User authorisations u2013 general settings SBO2007A

In SAP Business One 2007A, on limited CRM users, even if I give them access to the administration modules that they can access, a user cannot see the general settings. (Administration >> System initialisation >> General settings)
Therefore any user who is not a Pro user, cannot set their font size and background image.
Is there a way around this?

Try Changing them to a Pro user...make the desired font settings and then change them back to CRM

How to set the same General settings for all users

Hi Experts,
How can i set the same general settings for all users e.g. marking the checkbox "Display header" to true for all users? General settings are possible under User Settings Button.
Regards,
Arti.

Hi Arti!
You can default user settings in a PFCG role, in the "personalization" tab.
If you have a PFCG role that is common to all your users, you can set the default values here.
However it does not prevent them to change these settings later, except if you modify the "user settings" fields properties in cProjects application.

User based General Settings

In the general settings there are many things which are set by user, and some set for the company.
We need to have these separated out into different forms, especially as many users are not able to open or update general settings (e.g. those with limited licenses).
There should be a company based general settings which is available to super users only (decimal places etc) and a user based general settings which is also available to DTW.
We need to be able to use DTW (or some global method) to add back grounds, set screen locks among other things, which is currently almost impossible to do.

Gordon,
Thanks for the quick reply.
If the paths in the General Settings need to be set per user, how can any user not have access to this? This Financial user cannot modify the paths to the Word or Excel folders.
Thanks,

General Settings not accessabel for Financial user

Experts,
I have a client who created a Limited Financial user and assigned this license to that User. The authorizations is also set to Full at General Settings.
But we get an error when that user wants to open the General Settings window in Administration. I tested this and gave this user Full authorization to everything and still get this error.
Any help would be appreciated.

User Authorisations in Dialog Programming.

Hi Friends,
I have a small requirement, I want to create user authorisations in dialog programming.
Actually client requirement is he want to enter absence details of each and every branch.
For that i have created a cusom table and i also i have developed a dialog program inorder to update the details
and to retrive all the data i have created a report program also.
Now the client requirement is he want user authorisations while updating the data through dialog programming, that means if a user loging in that particular branch he want to enter the absence details pertaining to that branch only, when he tries to enter the details of other employee pertaining to another branch an error should be raised.
Actually in the client place they are using authrisation object as 'Z_WERKS'. The basis person has created this and provided for me.

You need to test the sy-subrc after the authority check - that will indicate whether the user has the authorisation or not.. you also often include the activity being tested e.g. generally 03 = Display, 02 = Update etc
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'S_TRVL_BKS'
ID 'ACTVT'    FIELD '03'
ID 'CUSTTYPE' FIELD 'B'.
IF not SY-SUBRC is initial.
MESSAGE E...   "put your exception here...

Cannot Update Decimal Places in General Settings

When I try to update the decimal points in the Administration > System Initialization > General Settings > Display path, SAP B1 gives me the following error:
"Cannot update while another user is connected to the company."
I am the only one on the system as "manager" with "Super User" and "Full Authorization"...
The SAP B1 Guide titled "How to Make Initial Setting in Business One - US" says "you can change these settings at any time".
QUESTION: What might be stopping this change, and more importantly, how do I get around this error to be able to change the decimal points?
Thanks all - Zal

Hi Zal,
I agree with you about the strange messaging used by SAP.
But blocking the possibility to decrease the decimal places is extremely important.
Suppose you have inserted a sales document with two items in this way:
Item 1 ___Qty 1,234 ___Unit price 1,22 ___Line total 1,51
Item 2 ___Qty 5,756 ___Unit price 3,15 ___Line total 18,13
____Document total 19,64
Then, someone wants to change the number of decimal places of the quantity from 3 to 2.
What happens would be:
Item 1 ___Qty 1,23 ___Unit price 1,22 ___Line total 1,51
Item 2 ___Qty 5,75 ___Unit price 3,15 ___Line total 18,13
____Document total 19,64
If you try to do the calculations manually you will see that the results are not correct. In fact all the document would have to change in:
Item 1 ___Qty 1,23 ___Unit price 1,22 ___Line total 1,50
Item 2 ___Qty 5,75 ___Unit price 3,15 ___Line total 18,11
____Document total 19,61
Also if the document total will show correct (in the case of rounding the second decimal position of item 2), the totals of any line is wrong. In fact there is no recalculation at all in SAP (and must not be done).
Imagine such a modification over thousand of documents and all of the descendants (mainly if the have lead to printouts - as say confirmations - sent to customers or vendors).
None of the economic figures will match.

Can't update decimals in General Settings

Currently running V9PL11, with Addon InterCompany v2 for one head office and one branch. Logged in as manager.
I am trying to update the decimal places for Quantity and Percent in the general settings of the Head office as the branch's decimal place for these two fields is greater, and as to comply with the InterCompany's prerequisites.
When I press update I get the following error message:
"Cannot update while another user is connected to the company."
The only other user connected is B1i !!!!!!!
I disconnected the InterCompany Addon, logged out and back in, try the same update, but still getting the same error message.
Would anyone know the right method to get to update these decimal places.
Also, can someone talk to SAP and tell them how ridiculous this situation is?

Hi Phil,
Please check below links.
Cannot update while another user is connect to the company
Cannot Update Decimal Points While Another User is on the System

Cannot change number of decimal places for prices
Cannot update while another user is connect to the company
Hope this helps

General Settings - Font and Background license

Experts,
I have a client who needs to change the Font size per User for CRM and Logistics users. These users still have full authorizations, but I cannot open this page, because of Licensing not allowing access to General Settings/System Initialization.
Is there a way I can set the font size per user even though they are CRM or Logistics users?
Thanks,
Marli

Hi Marli,
In my testing, I found this setting is saved under WIndow's User profile. You may try under client window session with your B1 logon. It may not be by B1 user.
Thanks,
Gordon

Extended Notification; General Settings SAPLOGON_ID

Hi Everyone!
We are planning to administer the extended notifications just by using the view cluster. We want to define the SAP GUI for Windows as the SAP GUI to use to display or execute work items in the Subscription Settings view.
The SAP Library says that <b>'you should specify a cross-company, unique LOGON_ID for the parameter SAPLOGON_ID in the General Settings view: Otherwise the system displays a logon window when the user navigates from a message to an SAP System'</b>.
I think this is my error. I really don't know what to put in SAPLOGON_ID parameter. How will I get this unique ID.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Reymar

Hi Reymar / Vhong,
You can check what the default client is by just starting SAP. A client is predefined. If you need to change it before logon then you could ask basis to set the correct one. I think it is a system parameter, but they should know.
I couldn't say if you could set anything in the extended notification, because I am not that familiar with it, but I would expect it sets the client it is run from in the short-cut. If not it could be bug and you should check OSS.

Martin

To Activate approval procedure in general settings

Hi all,
I am a Beginer, when i work with approval procedure,
Administration->System initialization>General Settings> BP tab-> Activate approval procedure.
I tried to uncheck the activate approval procedure and work it, again i coulnot able to enable this option please any one suggest me how can i enable this option.
Regards
Selva

Hi Selvaraj,
First and foremost check which user id you have logged in as...now if it is a Regular User( i.e.a non super user) then you simply go in and log in as the super user and there you will find that the system will allow you to check and Uncheck Activate Approval Procedure box.
Approval Procedures work on the principal that they apply ion the lower level users that is the Regular user and when you have logged in as a lower level user the box will always be greyed out. Approval procedures do not work on super users.
Please check this out and revert. Please Reward points if useful.

Suddenly unable to update User Authorisation in 8.8 PL11

This has been posted previously, but it was marked as solved... But the "solution" is not working for us.
(original thread: Unable to update User Authorisation after Upgrade to 8.8 PL13)
We did not have any problems after upgrading our db's to pl11. It was just recently that this function stopped working.
Here are the steps and failure outlined:
Steps :
1. Update the one of the user authorisation of the upgraded company. Eg. Set Drag & Relate from Various Authorisation to Full Authorisation.
2. Click on "Update" (nothing happened).
3. Click on "Update" (2nd time, system indicated that Update is successful.
4. Exit from General Authorisation.
5. Re-enter General Authorisation.
6. Found that the authorisation for that user is updated. it is still Various Authorisation for Drag & Relate.
I have tried other users and found to be the same. authorisations are not updated. Furthermore, the Update button is clicked twice.
Our other 5 company databases do not have this issue.
Please advise. What needs to be done.

Gordon, I think you're on to something, but I am already looking down this path too...
I ran the following query,
select distinct permid from usr3 where permid not in (select absid from oupt)
This query showed results, therefore there is definitely inconsistencies in the database.
I guess, this means that there's no solution? Only a "hotfix" from SAP?

General Settings - Font Size??

Hi,
Does anyone know how we can access the General Settings - Font Size that the user has set for themselves? I cannot seem to find anyway to get this via the SDK or even where this is stored in a table to simply query it.
Thanks,
David

Hi Lita,
It's held in the b1-current-user.xml file in the user's Application Data folder in their profile. Default path would be:
C:\Documents and Settings\<Profile Name>\Local Settings\Application Data\SAP\SAP Business One
In this file, you will find the font name and size if the user sets a value other than the default (Tahoma 10pt).
<leaf kind="single" name="FontFace" type="String">
<value>Lucida Bright</value>
</leaf>
<leaf kind="single" name="FontSize" type="String">
<value>14</value>
</leaf>
Kind Regards,
Owen

General Settings for Material Management

Hi,
under Material Management in SPRO under General Settings for Materials Management
1. Set material block for goods movements Lock Exclusively and (ii) Late lock
2. Set Up Material Block for Invoice Verification
Set Up Material Block for Invoice Verification
(ii) Set Up Material Block for Invoice Verification
(iii) Set Up Material Block for Invoice Verification
Pls tell me which option i should select in which case?

Hi,
Each option have some time advantage on the other one, when the subject material is blocked for other users, preventing them from carrying out any IM postings.
For goods movement process, Exclusive block will hold the item code for longer time than Late block.
It is better to go with the stadard settings of 'Exclusive block' for Goods movement and 'blocked at first read' for invoice verification.
