I created a vendor bill approval workflow and the finishing touch is creating a saved search. For some reason it complains that fields are restricted for some users. For other users it says you do not have permission to view this page. But the search is public. I even tried running unrestricted and the errors won't go away. It does not complain to the user that they lack a specific permission.

The issue if you are doing workflow approval saved searches with approval routing turned on is that they can't see the workflow fields to determine it's state.

It is a vendor bill search. (transaction search)

You're getting an error in the field results, or an error just running the search? If the latter (and you've made it public) they probably are lacking permission to run saved searches (there's a bunch of them, not just one, check out SuiteAnswers Id: 8431). If the former, you probably have a formula field that is sourcing information they don't have access to. Kind of tedious but you just have to go through each field and look at what permissions are needed. Accounting periods access for sourcing dates related to accounting periods is a big one that I run into, but the list is endless.

the only formula i'm using is null

and find transaction?

i think that's the issue when it says you do not have permission to view this page. they other message says something about fields being restricted

everything I see around the field restricted is that the person doesn't have access to a particular record (e.g. subsidiaries, vendors, etc.) and that's typically used in a formula

They're just gonna use the Approve Bills page. Thanks
