Payment Processing Security Authorizations

If your Sage 300 system requires user passwords and security profiles, the system administrator must assign security authorizations to users for tasks related to Payment Processing screens.

Because Payment Processing integrates with Order Entry and Accounts Receivable, the system administrator may also need to assign additional security authorizations to users for tasks related to those programs.

To pre-authorize credit card payments and void pre-authorizations in Order Entry, you must have Payment Processing Card Transaction Processing security authorization. If you need to process (capture) and void credit card payments in Order Entry, you must also have the following security authorizations:

  • Order Entry: Invoice Entry
  • Accounts Receivable: Receipt Entry

For information on activating security and setting up security groups, refer to the System Manager Help.
