Invoice pay-status permissions prevent change *to* the status.

Description:
The "Invoice - Update although Paid" permission and the other Invoice pay-status permissions in the Staff Privileges - Access Rights seem to not only prevent change of the invoice *from* the status; they also prevent change of the invoice *to* the status. Is that how they are supposed to work?

Resolution:
Yes, that is how these permissions work. A request has been created to change table headers to make this clearer....

(1) Please add the following sentence to column 4 of the tab48.eng header:

"Please note that in addition to preventing the operator from changing the invoice *from* the given pay-status, the lack of the specified permission prevents the operator from changing the invoice *to* that status. "

(2) Please add the text "to/from status" to each INVOICE-HEAD-P-S line in $alephe_tab/user_function.eng. After which, these lines would look like the following:

ACQ L Acquisitions INVOICE-HEAD-P-S-R L Inv
oice, general - Update to/from "Released (REG)"
ACQ L Acquisitions INVOICE-HEAD-P-S-N L Inv
oice, general - Update to/from "Not approved"
ACQ L Acquisitions INVOICE-HEAD-P-S-A L Inv
oice, general - Update to/from "Preliminary approval"
ACQ L Acquisitions INVOICE-HEAD-P-S-B L Inv
oice, general - Update to/from "Approved and printed"
ACQ L Acquisitions INVOICE-HEAD-P-S-F L Inv
oice, general - Update to/from "Frozen (ADJ)"
ACQ L Acquisitions INVOICE-HEAD-P-S-Y L Inv
oice - Update to/from status "Payment authorized"
ACQ L Acquisitions INVOICE-HEAD-P-S-P L Inv
oice - Update to/from status "Paid"
ACQ L Acquisitions INVOICE-HEAD-LIST L Inv
