Popup message when making a change!

Hi @nancyl.

I appreciate you for sharing this pop-up message here on the Community forum. I want to ensure other users won't be able to include the change the past transactions.

Basically, you need to choose the No option if you don't want your past transactions to be affected by the update/s. To avoid this from happening for other users, you can modify their role or access through the Users and Roles window. You may restrict them to modify transactions in QuickBooks Desktop.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Company tab, then click on Users.
2. Select SetUp Users and Roles.
3. Enter the admin password.
4. Modify the user's access from the Users and Roles window.

Am missing something?  How can I change their role not to modify an order if they have to enter the orders?  

Thanks for adding more details about your concern, nancyl.

The feature to restrict a user from modifying existing transactions is a great idea. This also goes along without preventing them from entering new entries.
