To prevent the customer care agent from creating a pick ticket from the sales order screen, follow these instructions to set up your functional profile for them.
A button that displays the order’s life is located in the right upper panel of the sales order screen. These are known as validation links or buttons.

This right top panel allows you to:

• Allocate/reserve your lot and quantities to your order

• Prepare/create the pick ticket for your warehouse

• Deliver/create the documents for your shipments

• Invoice the order once the delivery has occurred

• Create a pro forma for international shipments

• Close the order

Currently, you have to discover the user in the user security function and determine the functional authorization code associated with it in order to prevent them from filing a pick ticket.

STEP 1 – Go to Setup > Users > Users to find the function profile.

You must also ensure that the functions GESSPRH and GESSPRH2 (these are for collection tickets) are not functions that can be used by customer representatives. In theory, this last step is an extra precaution, but if the user is good with Sage X3, they can invoke these functions using the Google search bar; For auditing purposes, you want to make sure they can’t actually get the tickets.

This is what it should look like when you’re done.

With this change, when the agent logs into the system again, the Done link is still there, but when they try to click it, they get the full information of the abbreviation ABCD options.

By following the steps outlined in the text, you can configure the functional profile for customer service representatives to prevent them from creating a pick ticket from the sales order screen.
