Re: [WebERP-developers] Shall we find a another regular way to manage authority?

*Hi, Tim,*

            Thank you for your example.
            
            I think webERP current authorization part is far from perfect. 
Or I'm not smart enough to understand the system thoroughly and creatively. 
          
           I agree that we should do more discussion and hope to find an
agreement.

           Best regards!

I think that we first have to understand how all these processes will
work in real life situations, and once we have, then the authorisation
process for those systems will become more obvious. I have no problem
using different authorisation methods for different processes if that
is the best way.

For instance Jo (cc'd on this mail for info) wrote recently about
having an authorisation system for stock location transfers. I like
this idea very much, but cannot get my head around exactly how that
would work. Should the authoriser be the sender, the receiver, or
someone else entirely? To take two real life examples:

To transfer a container of electrical goods from the Mombasa warehouse
to the Kampala warehouse is a strategic business decision. The costs
in doing this transfer are high, and so the decision has to be taken
high up in the organisation.

To transfer two packets of paracetamol tabs from the main pharmacy to
a sub pharmacy in a hospital is a minor procedure, easily reversed if
necessary. Such transfers could happen several times a day, and
require little or no authorisation.

To webERP both of the above are identical. They are simply stock
location transfers, so how to setup an authorisation system that
covers everything? It cannot be just on stock valuation, as would you
want someone transferring $1 of stock from your Shanghai warehouse to
your Buenos Aires warehouse without authorisation?

Its an interesting subject and requires a lot of discussion as there
will be many scenarios we have not yet thought of.
