Question & Answer
Question
How do I see Desktop Requisitions (DRs, also known as Material Requisitions) created by other Maximo users?
Cause
Maximo purposely restricts you to be able to view only those DRs you created or ones created by users who are people you supervise.
Beginning in 7.5.0.7 this restriction was removed from the code and replaced by an Application Restriction which can be removed or modified using Application Designer.
Answer
The Application Restriction used out of the box is:
requestedby in (select personid from personancestor where ancestor=(select personid from
maxuser where userid=:user))
or requestedfor in (select personid from personancestor where ancestor=(select personid from
maxuser where userid=:user))
You can modify it or remove it. For example, you may want to modify the restriction to allow only
certain groups to view certain requisitions or whatever you can arrange with the proper SQL where clause.
To remove it:
1. Go To Application Designer.
2. Open Application VIEWDR.
3. On the Select Action menu and choose Toggle Show All Controls.
4. Click the first control shown: 'presentation...' to highlight it.
5. Right click on 'presentation...' and select Properties.
6. On the Presentation Properties dialog box remove whatever is currently in the
Application Restrictions field.
7. Click on the X in the upper right corner to close the Presentation
Properties dialog.
8. Save.
Now when you go to Self Service - Desktop Requisitions - View
Requisitions you will see more Requisitions than just the ones you
created.
