How to restrict visibility of Requisitions/Requests in IFS based on User/Department?

Hi Everyone,

 

We want to restrict the visibility of Purchase Requisitions / Material Requests created in IFS so that they are not accessible by every department. Currently, users across different departments can view requests created by others, which we want to prevent.

 

Could you please advise on the best practice or recommended approach to achieve this in IFS Applications / IFS Cloud?

 

Any guidance, documentation, or examples on how you have configured similar department-level restrictions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance!

    Hi Furkan,
    This Community group is specifically for the Alliance application, you may want to try posting this request here:

    https://community.ifs.com/groups/getting-started-with-ifs-132

    In the Alliance application we use Node Security to limit the visibility of data to users (this is across all modules in the application, not just for Purchase Requisitions and Material Requests modules), you basically give your employees access to one/more Nodes in the Employees Security module and then as they navigate through the other modules in the application the data that is returned is limited only to Node(s) that the user has the proper permissions for.
    Thanks,
    Reid
