Avoid user receive/invoice a Purchase Order

Hi,

In a project we want to enable users create PO but don't allow them to Receive or Invoice a PO.

Is it possible to setup through permission in Business Central?

    You could look at using profile configuration  as an alternative. If you were to disable configuration that would be wise too.

    Depending on user responsibilities, purchase quotes can also be used as part of a possible solution where somebody who enters data doesn’t have a purchasing role.

    But it can be done with permissions. I had users who needed a PO number they could give instantly to a supplier upon arrival to collect materials for processing externally. But I didn’t want them to be able to anything other than add/remove lines and quantities. They couldn’t even print.

    Note that it did take a few hours of testing and tweaking to get it working exactly as required.

    Hi, Using permission set management is the most reasonable way.

    But if you're developing, This post options can actually be customized.

    You can add simple setup items in the User Setup page to control this permission.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    You can setup their permission. Receive or Invoice is controlled by Codeunit 90 "Purch.-Post". If you disabled their access to Codeunit 90, they will not be able to post.
