Solution:

Process IDs (Also referred to as privileges.) are assigned to each user in Sage Pro ERP to allow access to companies and applications. Process IDs also allows access to processes that include entering cash receipts, shipping sales orders, and receiving purchase orders.

If a user does not have the required Process ID for a process, a message will appear indicating either the process cannot be accessed or permission is required to complete a process. To determine which Process ID is required for a specific process for versions prior to Sage Pro 7.4, users must look through a list of privileges from the Select Privileges screen (Refer to the “Assigning Privileges” section of the System Manager documentation located on the DoconDisk). In Sage Pro 7.4, a Process ID can be assigned to users that displays the Process ID required for a process. This solution will provide the name of the Process ID and explain how to assign it to a user.

In order for a user to view the Process ID required for a process, the Process ID SMDSPPV must be assigned to a user. For detailed step, please follow the steps listed below.
