You must have sorted this since Brian said he was just starting to look into this when you emailed that its already sorted.
Did QAD support team helped you on the permissions?
Ideally your function and that of Aow should be separate.
Internal control processes don’t allow that Sales and Purchasing function can be performed by one individual.
I will be looking into your permissions when I am there next week, then we can look into who can perform tasks when you or Aow is on leave.
