Security Rules

Security Rules

Security rules are used to restrict values of the segments of our chart of accounts to a particular responsibility. Security rules always restricted at responsibility level. Using security rules we can restrict all the segments.
Securities types:
1.       Hierarchical security
2.       Non hierarchical security
          In hierarchical security we secure a parent value it is going to automatically secure all the child values associated with a parent.
           In non-hierarchical security when we secure a parent value only parent value is secured but not the child values associated with the parent
        We are not allowed to create transactions on parent value. Parent values are useful while generating the formulas, preparing FSG (financial statement generator) reports and summary accounts.
