When a User creates a Document the system automatically assigns the respective user as the Document Owner. Every Document has an Owner field. Users can reassign the Owner of a Document.
To change the Ownership of a Document the appropriate User Role ‘Taking Ownership’ value must be set. See Owners.
If you have a situation where your order entry team is capturing orders on behalf of your internal or external or independent sales reps, you may want to circumvent the normal sales document assign ownership behavior.
The normal behavior for document creation is for the user name to be set as the owner on the new document. To change this so the new document inherits the owner set on the Customer (where the rep owns the Customer) go and edit the Role set on the Order Entry worker.
Role>Edit
Role>Ownership options>Preserve ownership of sales documents = Checked.
The Worker Contact section has three fields:
Team
Department
Office
The values you store in these fields can be used to:
Filter reports - Look for the filter +Team/Office/Department when you customize a report.
Control access permissions on Roles - Look for 'Your Team' and 'Your Office' when you create/edit a role.
