Hello all -

I have a client that has a need to rename the vendor account ID periodically. The Accounts payable manager role does not allow this. Can someone explain how I can modify a Privilege or Duty to enable the Rename button for this role?

Regards,

Barry

Hi @BarryR

You're not allowed to change the vendor account number since it's the primary key that's linked to several tables.

I think you're adding a new field to store the new data.

Best regards,

Hi Barry,

This option should not be used very frequently because whenever you update this , system goes back and update all transactions with this reference.

This can cause serious issue going forward as BAU process.

Suggestion would be to identify any other field which you can use as Addtional ID like organization number

Hi.

The access to use the "Rename" functionality is available through the privilege "Rename unique record keys", which is part of the "Maintain system settings" duty and ultimately available through the "Information technology manager" role.

However you should of course be aware of the consequences of renaming records as mentioned previously.

Hi Barry,

Nikolaj is correct. You can manage this with security settings. The rename feature is available to system administrators and users linked to the role Information Technology Manager by default. You can read my blog about renaming records where I wrote about it and for more information and warnings. How to rename records in Microsoft Dynamics AX7 (dynamicspedia.com)
