How do I set up department restrictions to GL accounts?

Departments

Restricting access to GL accounts by department will limit the GL accounts that users who are assigned to a department can view or use to create, update, or delete transactions for the assigned GL accounts. Users who shouldn't have access to GL accounts for another department, won't be able to use them.

To set up department restrictions, you'll need to complete three steps in the System Management application.

First, assign the GL accounts to a department (System Management > Master Records > Setup/Modify Departments). Choosing to not assign any GL accounts will give the department access to all of the GL accounts.
Second, add the department to a user to give the user access to the department rights (System Management > Security > Setup/Modify User Rights).
And third, set up the application settings to apply the department restrictions to an application (System Management > Organization > Organization). If you're also using Purchase Orders and Requisitions, make sure to select the checkbox to Restrict Access By Department for the Accounts Payable application and the Purchase Orders application.
