Restrict Posting of Order Entries Based on User in ERP

By | May 6, 2026

Managing user access in Order Entry in Sage 300 ERP is important to ensure that only authorized users can perform specific actions. In some business scenarios, certain users should be allowed to work on quotations but should not be permitted to post actual orders.

To address this requirement, a customization has been introduced that restricts posting rights based on user configuration, while still allowing flexibility for quotation processing.

Purpose of the Customization

This functionality helps to:

  • Restrict selected users from posting Order Entry transaction.
  • Allow those users to post Quotation transactions only.
  • Ensure better control over order processing activities .

In simple terms, specific users can only post Quotes, while all other users can post any type of order.

Configuration Setup

An Optional Field is used to control this behavior:

  • Optional Field Name: NOPOSTUSER
  • Configured Under: Common Services
  • Purpose: Maintain the list of users with restricted posting access

Users added in this field will have limited posting rights.

How It Works

The system validates the logged-in user during the posting process.

For Users Added in NOPOSTUSER

  • If Order Type = Quote
    → Posting is allowed
  • If Order Type = Active, Future, Standing, etc.
    → Posting is not allowed
    → The Post button will be disabled

For Other Users

  • No restrictions apply
  • Users can post all types of Order Entry transactions

Example

If user USER02 is added in NOPOSTUSER:

  • Selecting Quote → Post button is enabled
  • Selecting any other order type → Post button is disabled

This ensures the user can only process quotation transactions.

Key Benefits

  • Helps enforce business rules on order posting
  • Provides controlled access without affecting all users
  • Easy to maintain through configuration
  • Improves data control and reduces incorrect postings

Conclusion

This customization provides a simple and effective way to control posting access in Sage 300 Order Entry. By using an optional field, businesses can easily manage which users are restricted and ensure that only authorized transactions are posted.
