This program, which is available on all modules, allows the System Administrator either to prevent users from gaining access to the Purchase Ledger module, or if that has already been done, to allow them access again.
It also displays a list of users currently logged into the Purchase Ledger, enabling you to decide whether or not to prevent further access, or to clear the Purchase Ledger control file of any users who at one time logged into the system but did not log out correctly, and have left a corresponding entry in the control file.
To prevent/allow access to the Purchase Ledger, display users, or clear illegal users:
From the Autoline Master Menu, select the Purchase Ledger option and the Company you require.
The PURCHASE LEDGER Main Menu is displayed.
Select the System maintenance option.
The PL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE Menu is displayed.
Select the Prevent/allow access option.
The Prevent/allow access form is displayed.
You have three options:
To prevent or allow access respectively, select, or clear, the Status check-box.
To display users, click Display Users.
To clear illegal users, click Clear Illegal Users.
This form is displayed when you select the System maintenance option from the PURCHASE LEDGER Main Menu, then the Prevent/allow access option from the PL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE Menu. It enables you to prevent or allow access to the Purchase Ledger, display users, or clear illegal users.
