I am using multi base currency and it enforce restrict visibility to specific companies or group of companies, Is it possible to create a supplier or customer without this restriction being enforced. I extended the companies on the tenant as customer and vendors and the system does not force this restrict visibility rather it create a tab for balances with multiple currencies. 

Standard Vendor
 


Extended Company as Vendor, the restrict visibility no longer has the asterisk

Hello ​@wilson71 ,

As per my understanding, there is no way to avoid this restriction for new vendor accounts (regular vendors/Standard vendors). The user needs to select an entity. The Restrict Visibility To field is a mandatory field for regular vendors. If the vendor is extended from a company (not regular vendors), this field is not mandatory (No entity).

If all users need to see these regular vendors, the most suitable option is the company group. Create a company group with relevant branches and assign it to the vendor account.

Hi ​@wilson71,

If you're not using the 'Restriction Visibility To' option, you can toggle the 'Customer and Vendor Visibility Restriction' setting in the Enable/Disable Features screen. This will allow you to create a customer or vendor without applying visibility restrictions.

Hope this helps!

Hi ​@Sagar Greytrix , the client has multi base currency on their tenant and the system doesn't allow us to activate the multi base currency without restrict visibility on customer/vendor.
