Hello,

You cannot hide Unit Cost / Last Direct Cost with permissions alone.

You must hide the fields with a page extension (modify → Visible = false).

That’s the only practical way to prevent users from seeing item costs.

Either you need to hide it from Page Personalize way. Or If you want only some users can see it and others can't then below are the steps you can perform:
1. Make a Boolean Field in User setup (Ex: View Item Cost)

2. On Page Ext of Item Card. Make a Global Variable Called ViewField :Boolean;

modify("Unit Cost")
{

Visible=ViewField;

}

trigger OnOpenPage

var

UserSetup:Record "User Setup";
begin

//Find your User in User Setup Table (Filtering)
ViewField:=UserSetup."View Item Cost";
end;

Var //Global
ViewField:Boolean;

This will make it dynamically visiblle and can be controlled from User Setup for future perspective as well.

Hii there.

as per requirement you can create a user setup extension field through that you can assign a boolean to assign permission to user .

it will useful for your future developments also through that you can directly apply fields visibility as per user setup.

If You found answer mark it answered.

Thank you.
