how to limit user access to changing sales reps on sales orders.

Hello everyone.

 

Today, a sales manager requested a way to limit user access to changing sales reps on orders. How can this be done on QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise 23.0?

 

Thanks in advance for your answers.

how to limit user access to changing sales reps on sales orders.

Hello there, AJHN1. Allow me to provide you with the steps on how to reduce or limit your sales staff members' access to QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

To clarify, are you referring to restricting your sales staff from changing certain reports or data access? If so, we can utilize the Setup Users and Passwords.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Sign in as the QuickBooks Admin.
  2. On the Home page, click the Company menu. Then, select Setup Users and Passwords, and select Set Up Users.
  3. Highlight the accurate user, then choose Edit User.
  4. Follow the Change User Password and Access wizard to remove or restrict the user's access.

 

 Also, we can limit the permissions of your sales staff users under certain categories. To do so, refer to the steps below:

 

  1. On your QuickBooks Desktop home page, select Company.
  2. Click Users. Then, Set Up Users and Roles.
  3. Choose the Roles list, then select Sales.
  4. Click Edit, then tick the Area and Activities that you want to limit their access to.
  5. You'll find an option to give FullPartial, or None on the AREA ACCESS LEVEL which you can modify accordingly.
  6. Once done, hit OK.

 

In addition, you may refer to this article when you need to assign the primary admin role to another user in QBDT: Transfer the primary admin role in QuickBooks Desktop.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, that solution will not solve the problem because what we are trying to do is restrict the possibility of other sales representatives changing the sales representative in the sales orders.

Thanks for coming back, @AJHN1 

 

There's a way to restrict other sales representatives to change the Sales rep in the sales orders. Let me share this with you.

 

You'll need to modify the Role list, the function of the sales representative position should be minimized to View and Create only. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Company.
  2. Pick the Users, then Set Up Users and Roles.
  3. Choose the Role List.
  4. Scroll down. Select Sales.
  5. Tap the Edit icon.
  6. Hover your cursor to Customers & Receivables.
  7. Tick the box of View and Create only.
  8. Once done, click OK

 

 

If you want to manage your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) and service with the Customer Account Maintenance Portal (CAMPs), you can read this article: Manage your QuickBooks Desktop subscriptions and services.

Maybe there is and maybe there isn't. But the user is using Enterprise and your screenshot is of Pro/Premier, which are different. Which of course you know because you're the expert here posting answers about how QuickBooks works.

 

Did you even read the OP's question? Seems not.
