Hi Everyone,

Can someone guide me? I want to restrict one of my users in Business Central using permissions that they cannot create POs , cannot receive and invoice a Purchase Order. Please guide me on which object IDs I should restrict permissions on.

Additionally, I have created a General Journal Batch using my user’s name. The user should be able to create journal lines and send approval requests but should not be able to post. Please guide me on which object IDs I should restrict for the General Journal.

    As for your first part, here's a thread in this forum that pertains to it. If the user shouldn't even be able to create a new purchase order, you can remove permission for Insert for Table 38 as well. As for the second part, you can implement an approval workflow that should do the trick. See here. 
     
    Hope this helps!

    If this is a properly-configured approval based workflow, any general journal batch that hasn't been approved by a designated approver cannot be posted. The Post action would be grayed out, meaning it's disabled. Most businesses have entry staff who create such entries. Then an approver has to approve them once submitted. Then once those specific elements have been approved then the entry staff can post them. That's the whole point of an approval workflow.  
     
    If you don't even want that entry staffer to post something that's approved, then the approver can approve it, and quickly post it themselves.
