How to configure security rights for the pricing analysis margins?

Overview

In the pricing analysis, it is stated that only users with adequate security rights will be able to create documents below the configured margins. It appears that this does not work as everyone is able to sell below these margins. Disabling this in the security settings does not solve the issue.

Solution

The security rights in question are the following:

  1. Security ID: 329 - Sales Order/Invoice Document: Add/Modify with Markup/Margin below Minimum Level
  2. Security ID: 330 - Sales Order/Invoice Document: Add/Modify with Markup/Margin below Critical Level
  3. Security ID: 336 - ITEM: Modify Selling Price

To resolve the issue, please follow the steps below:

  1. Remove the above security rights from the Everyone group and assign them to the sales group:
