Resolution
Restricting the Journal Entry Document Type authorization works in 2 parts.
Firstly you must assign an 'Authorization Group' to the document type:
- Open SSCUI 101522
- Select the relevant document type
- Enter an 'Authorization Group' e.g. 'ABC'
This Authorization Group must then be assigned to any role with authorization to post this document type:
- Open the 'Maintain Business Roles' app (ID F1492)
- Choose the relevant role
- Select 'Edit'
- 'Maintain Restrictions'
- Maintain 'Authorization Group for Journal Entry Document Type' as 'ABC'
- Save
This document type can now only be posted by users with this role assigned.
