Filtering limitations

The entity ID filtering restricts which documents will be returned based on a primary ID associated with a document in Microsoft Dynamics GP. The entity ID filtering does not restrict documents based on the additional data they contain, such as line items.

For example, when sales documents are returned based on the Windows User ID that is mapped to a salesperson ID, the documents are filtered based on the salesperson ID in the document header. The line items for the sales document are not filtered based on the salesperson ID. The document may contain line items that were added by other salespeople. These line items could contain information you don't want the restricted user to see.

If your web service application relies on entity ID filtering, be aware of situations when your application could retrieve documents that contain sensitive data in the document. Consider using your application's user interface to filter out the data, such as the commission information for sales document line items.
