Data Ownership is Extended to Business Partners

Keeping your business data safe and secured is a complicated challenge. It’s not only about the best back up, great fire wall, or storage facility – it’s also about granting certain users authorizations to the relevant data and denying other users the access to it.

The data ownership functionality in SAP Business One is extended to business partners and allows you to limit the access to business partners master data and to documents based on business partner owners. In addition, you can define whether to manage data ownership by business partners, documents, or both.

To configure the data ownership settings, choose: Administration > System Initialization > General Settings > BP tab
