Posted on by Nicolas Payan 8

Hello, Everyone,

(GREEN COLOR) I have done a development that allow to track the sales order related to every G/L entry, it is done by a Code Unit (IT ONLY WORKS WITH THE NEW G/L ENTRIES)

but I need to update all the historic data to be tracked, so I am trying to do it by ETL or manually, nevertheless when I edit (RED COLOR) it saved but after a while is deleted, no error is shown

We think it might be due to the permissions set in a direct edit, but we don't know how to change it.

Do you have any idea or something may be useful?

Best Regards,

    Hi,

    I think your understanding is right that it is a permission issue. Indirect permission means that this user can indirectly do the operation (means using some codeunit/report which has permissions and these permissions we explicitly give using Permissions property).

    Try to give this user direct permissions.

    Otherwise, you can try to use some codeunit / report by giving it enough permissions.

    You need to set explicit permission in the object you use when you are performing your update. Here are documentation with examples:

    Hi, I think you can create a codeunit for batch processing, and then give Codeunit permissions, as Inge mentioned.

    Here is an example from codeunit 80 "Sales-Post".

    Hope this helps as well.

    Thanks.
