Not Privileged To Run this Report Error in Payables Select Checks

I upgraded a customer to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 a couple of weeks ago and they have started to explore some of the new features. After fixing their payment run problem they enabled the new functionality for emailing remittances.

When they next used the Select Cheques window all went well until they tried to print the prelist they got the following error;

When I connected to their system and ran the process myself, the first report (the Computer Checks Edit List) printed correctly but the second report (the Send Remittance Preview Report) caused the problem.

Looking into the issue showed that the error was caused by this report’s security operation not being assigned to a role assigned to the user. However, a little more digging showed that allnew operations in Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 were all unassigned. Fixing the problem is a simple matter of assigned the security task to the role, RPT_PURCH_003* – Payables Management check information, it is assigned to on a fresh installation of Dynamics GP;

Admittedly this is a small sample size, which I’ll double in the next week or so, but it appears that when upgrading from Microsoft Dynamics GP 10 to 2010 new security operations are not automatically assigned by the system. I’d rather avoid this problem at other sites so it looks like a SQL script to update the Security Operation assignment to tasks is required.
