Effect of User Policies — Other Tab

Setting user policies allows you to customize user access in eFinancials and ePO and affects a user's ability to complete work. User policies are policies that are applied  to the selected user only. User policies that are set on the Other tab affect users' ability to post in periods before and after the current period, edit imported batches, or see a Closedbudget graph during purchase order and invoice processing.

When Using Separate eFinancials and ePO Budgets

Your system may be set up to use separate eFinancials and ePO budgets. If so, when the policy, Show budget graph during PO and Invoice processing is selected, the budget graphs that are accessible from the Check Budget and Approval Processing snap-ins, as well as from the Purchase Orders tab, show budget and invoice/purchase order information based on whether the user is seeing the graph from eFinancials or ePO. For users who have access to both eFinancials and ePO, amounts are broken out by eFinancials and ePO. In addition, over-budget and over-spending conditions are shown as over for month-to-date (MTD) or year-to-date (YTD) on the budget graph. You can click on the More info link on the budget graph to view the global policy settings, including the settings for separate budgets, as well as other information.

Note

When setting up, the default is to not allow users the ability to post in periods before and after the current period, not allow users to edit imported batches, and not allow users to see a budget graph during purchase order and invoice processing.
