Preventing changes to released w/o

Does anyone know how I can prevent users from changing a released w/o? Currently anyone can modify a released w/o without being forced to use the ECN system. I cannot find anything in the security settings or in any documentation telling me how to do this. Any help appreciated.

Security Settings / Select User(for specific users or users) / Program Security and change Manufacturing Window Access Column to "Read Only".

Doesn't this not prevent them changing a w/o at all rather than just after release? I want my engineers to be able to create, firm and release the w/o but then not be able to change it without using the ECN process.

Oh - well you stated ..."currently "anyone" can modify a released W/O". Not aware of any other way to direct to an ECN other than a custom workflow.

Sorry should have been clearer! Thanks anyway.

You could do this with a Workflow, or an OnSave macro in the Manufacturing window. The logic you want could be built in something like this.

[if there is a change...]
If {work_order.status} = 'R' THEN
If {user} <> [sysadm] THEN
MSGBOX("What are you doing Mister? You have to use an ECN to change details of a released Work Order!")
[do not save order...]
END
ELSE:ENDIF
ELSE:ENDIF
[save order...]
