    We added a second company to AP, GL, PO, IC, RQ.  In adding the second company to RQ, requestors can now select accounting unit/accounts for both companies. How are people limiting requestors to a single company.  Is there a way in RQ or do we use the GL system restrictions?

      I typically do this by combining accounting units on RQ04 with security rules against GLNAMES; it does fall apart when you have additional companies, since you then have to leave the company field blank on RQ04. With multiple companies, it's a problem writing rules if your accounting units have same number/key across multiple companies. I don't think there is a good solution.
      Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!

        At least for RQC you can modify the rqc_config.xml file to



        For those who can access RQ10 would need the security rules. Maybe you could create a rule that only allows a specific value in the company field in RQ10?

          setting id="allow_company_select" value="true"

              Thanks.

              We found an existing enhancement request that has been elevated to development so should have a resolution in the next iteration.

              They didn't want to open up RQ10 again.

              We're adding our intercompany transfer accounting unit (which doesn't allow ordering) from the new company to old requestors' profile and old company's I/C AU to the new company's requestors to accomodate the 'security by exception' rules in RQC.

              Now if only the RQ204 report would show all instead of last modified...
