I just set up a new user but he cannot access the F13 command, how do I set this up?

Question:

I just set up a new user but he cannot access the F13 command, how do I set this up?

Resolution:

The F13 functionality is controlled by the profile option 'WINDOW-MENU FOR CMD FUNCTIONS' in the XP application area (please see "Part 1 - Application/Menu Option Security" below.) You may want to use the Copy User Authority (F18) to copy from a user that has the same functionality as you would like the new user to have.

Part 1 - Application/Menu Option Security

CLONE/COPY an Existing User

If the new user is to have the same application (i.e. AP, GL etc.) and same menu option security as an EXISTING user, you can clone/copy the security FROM the existing user to the new user for each applicable application. To do this, select #1-General Functions from the Main Menu. Then select #6-Setup Menu Security. From there select #11-Add/Chg User Security. The valid 'System Codes' are listed below.

GF - General Functions XP - Cross Applications GL - General Ledger

AP - Accounts Payable AR - Accounts Receivable PR - Payroll

TC - Time Clock AF - ACTFast Calendar MC - Misc. Cash Receipts

IN - Inventory PO - Purchasing DM - Order Entry &Billing

SA - Sales Analysis FA - Fixed Assets

You must authorize the user for the applicable system codes. Enter the appropriate system code and press ENTER. When prompted for the User Profile, enter the userid of the person you are copying FROM and press F18. Now enter the userid of the new employee and press F20 to accept. Press F12 to return to the System Code prompt and continue with the next System Code.
