It is possible to created a restricted access version of the Names program so, if you are using the accounting modules, the accounts department can be given access to update name, address and accounting details related to a customer.
Release 4 added in the Supplier tab to this functionality and hence it made it potentially useful for those clients using Accounts Payable and the fully integrated accounting suite. To give it a go set a new application in Security for the Names executable using the parameter –NACCOUNTS. It’s quite nice from an accounts viewpoint in that all the extraneous tabs disappear and the relevant information is all there, easy viewable. The programs look so much easier to use when they have tabs that are all contained in the one screen. Don’t know why, it’s just neater!
One area that this restricted version doesn’t cover however is the Staff Responsible tab. So if the accounts department is adding these details so that the aged debtors report can be produced by attorney responsible then you still need to give them access to the full program.
