I am working on how to best build access to our process levels.

There are 50+ accounts with a range of accounting units underneath as follows

Account = 101

Accounting units = 101001 - 101999

Account = 102

Accounting Units = 102001-102999

And so on.....

I would like to create a custom attribute for Account of 101, 102, etc... and grant access to the associated accounting units.

Being that there are so many accounts, I would like to be able to accomplish this with a rule referencing the custom attribute and somehow allowing access to the associated accounting units without writing a different rule for each account. This used to be accomplished by allowing access from process level 101-101999 in LAUA.

Any ideas?

Unfortunately we got into this early on and created 2 separate unique attributes to accomplish that task and now maintain them separately...if i had to do it a again i would associate my accounting units with the PL and only look at a certain group of numbers and see if the works for example...i contacted a friend that is using something similar take a look...

We use the substring command. A valid accounting unit is 101883001. This represents Fund 1-3 101

Department 4-5 88

Division 6-7 30

Section 8-9 01



Our substring rule in Lawson starts in position 4 for a length of 2 in the PROCESS_LEVEL. In the example above 88 represents a users department. If the two positions in the PROCESS_LEVEL equal the PROCESS_LEVEL in the users Employee record then we allow them to access the data.



This is part of an Element Group Rule.



subString(PROCESS_LEVEL,4,2)==trim(getDBField('EMPLOYEE','PROCESS-LEVEL',user.getCompany(),user.getEmployeeId()))&&(SystemCode=='GL'||'IF')

user.attributeContains('ProcessLevel',subString(PROCESS_LEVEL,1,3)) seems to have done it in my case. Thanks for your help!!
