Claim Security (for Bookings) and Claim Complexity
When required it is possible to restrict accounting for the claim (all sections) to users with specific authorization level only. When a claim has been marked as requiring additional security; an additional check within the Accounting module will validate that the accountant has appropriate authority when booking on the claim; regardless of the amount that is booked. This additional security may be linked to the Complexity level of the claim; ensuring that all claims which are deemed as complex require such security.
