Hi, I hope eveyone is doing okay

I was wondering if there is any setup to prevent the deletion of registered item arrival Journals

Our customer wants to prevent the deletion of registered Journals. I tried creating a privilege but that keeps me from deleting item arrival journals at all, not taking in consideration if that journal is registered or not.

Any ideas on how to approach this?

Thanks!

You could a Extensible data security policy to filter records. It can have a performance impact because you will be filtering records by a non index field ( "Posted" )

Journals are temporary by nature, they even have a parameter to delete lines automatically after posting. There is no out of the box process to prevent their deletion. You can always see the status of registered inventory on the Inventory Transactions screen.

What business need is met by keeping posted arrival journals in the system? As previously mentioned, preventing deletion of posted journals would require an extension, but not XDS, you would need to put additional logic on the delete action button to check if the journal is posted or not. If you did this, I would make a new parameter "allow deletion of posted journals" on the journal names setup and also validate against that flag. This would allow you to let some journal types be deleted and others not, and would allow you to turn the functionality off from the front end if something changes in the future.
