	This authorization key also allows users with a level greater than the number specified in the Price View Level control maintenance record to fax or print a direct purchase order.

Additional Information	Each cost and price basis name defined in Price Line Maintenance is assigned a view level number (VLvL). To view or edit a basis field, users must be assigned this authorization key with a level higher than the VLvL assigned to the basis name.

OE.QTY.ZONE.BYPASS.RF

Assign this Authorization Key to allow the user to bypass the wireless system for handling product orders and determine if quantity is verified in the zone.

When you assign this Authorization Key to allow the comma to exclude the product order from the wireless system, you also set the authorization level.
