How to Setup Field Level Security to Access the Vendor EFT Window

Have you ever needed to tighten security within GP so your end users cannot access your vendor’s EFT bank information?  No need for a fancy customization!  It’s all available to you within GP with Field Level Security.  In just a few steps, you can setup security to the EFT Bank button on the Vendor Address Maintenance window so when a user clicks on the button they will be prompted with a pop-up window to enter a password.
