Purchase Receiving without a License

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 3,518

Hi:

Other than by granting a full Essentials or Premium licensing, is there a way to allow for someone to have security to conduct purchase receiving?

Thank you!

    Hi

    1) You can use Device license for that

    2) Or use some idea like below blogpost. Like create Power App that does this as interface.

    Hi, I suggest you try External Accountant first, it's free.

    First, the External Accountant license is only available for Users outside your organization.  Using that license for an internal employee is against Microsoft's license terms.

    The device license is available IF you are using some specialized utility to process the receipt, such as a handheld scanner or custom workstation screen.

    Lastly, you could use a Limited User to update the Purchase Receipt Quantity, but not post, then have a Full User later do a batch review and post of the receipt lines.
