Resolution

Restricting the Journal Entry Document Type authorization works in 2 parts.

Firstly you must assign an 'Authorization Group' to the document type:

  1. Open SSCUI 101522
  2. Select the relevant document type
  3. Enter an 'Authorization Group' e.g. 'ABC'

This Authorization Group must then be assigned to any role with authorization to post this document type:

  1. Open the 'Maintain Business Roles' app (ID F1492)
  2. Choose the relevant role
  3. Select 'Edit'
  4. 'Maintain Restrictions'
  5. Maintain 'Authorization Group for Journal Entry Document Type' as 'ABC'
  6. Save

This document type can now only be posted by users with this role assigned.
