Disabling certain menu items

[Former Member]

Hello all,

Is there a way in SAP B1 (some permission, maybe) to disable the "User-Defined Fields" menu item, so that a certain user would not be able to view them?

Thanks in advance,

Anton

hi,

It's not possible to disable View -->User defined Fields.

If ur goal is block access to user defined fields to a user,then

create additional authorization to restrict user defined field form settings(FormID - 38),

this way u can block user from creating UDF's & also form settings of it.Before applying authorization detick all udf's visible & active,this way u can block

only header level user defined fields,eventhough u can access

View -->User defined Fields,but u can't view user defined fields of header level.

To restrict row level user defined fields,make the

required fields in the form as visible & active,detick udf's.

General Authorization --> User(Left pane) --> General --> Document Settings --> No Authorization.

I have tested it,it's working.

Hope this will solve problem.

Jeyakanthan A: thanks for further help. All I needed to know was the abitity to disable the menu itself, because I had a Exception: "Cannot activate disabled menu item". And I have found the cause it.

Hi,

If u want to hide the VIEW--> "User defined fields" menu, I guess its only possible by using SDK.

Hope it helps,

Hai!

It's a default option in SAP B1.

Open the Document in which you want hide the udf.

Go to Form Settings, uncheck view

This is a user wise setting. you have to log in with the appropriate user id
