Warehouse Manager and BOM Manager Roles Restrictions
Both Warehouse Manager and BOM Manager roles include restrictions based on Location Type – Warehouse. This means that employees assigned these roles will only have access to records related to their specific allowed warehouses.
Class Filter
The filter by Class is applicable for the following roles:
- BOM Manager
- Advanced BOM Managers
- All Direct Cost BPs Financials
- Full Financial
- VIM Validator Role
- Can Open/Close BP
- Advanced Budget Managers
How the filter by Class works
These roles can be grouped into two categories:
Group 1: Filter Build Plans (BPs) by Class
Roles: BOM Manager, Advanced BOM Managers, All Direct Cost BPs Financials, Full Financial, Can Open/Close BP, Advanced Budget Managers.
- These roles grant access to various FCX system features, but when the Class filter is active, their functionality is limited to Build Plans filtered by Class.
- Having one Class-filtered role does not limit capabilities of another Class-filtered role.
- An employee is related to a Build Plan if they are:
- Build Plan Owner
- Project Owner
- Member of a Project Role with finance access
- Holders of "All Direct Cost BPs Financials" or "Full Financial" roles
