PROBLEM STATEMENT
Oracle Receivables (AR): Transactions Workbench Information Center > Transactions Form Personalizations: Sample Code, Known Issues and Patches > Note 877227.1 This document provides information on how you can use Forms Personalization to disable the Delete Icon in the Transactions form for a particular User or Responsibility.

Caution: This sample code is provided for educational purposes only and not supported by Oracle Support Services. It has been tested internally, however, and works as documented. We do not guarantee that it will work for you, so be sure to test it in your environment before relying on it. Proofread this sample code before using it! Due to the differences in the way text editors, e-mail packages and operating systems handle text formatting (spaces, tabs and carriage returns), this sample code may not be in an executable state when you first receive it. Check over the sample code to ensure that errors of this type are corrected.
SOLUTION Using standard functionality, you can disable the deletion of transactions via the settings in the AR System Parameters form. Responsibility: Receivables Manager Navigation: Setup > System > System Options In the Trans and Customers tab, you can check or uncheck the Allow Transaction Deletion checkbox to enable or disable the Delete option in the Transactions form. This feature however disables the Delete option for everyone using the application. If you wanted to disable the delete only for a particular Responsibility or User, you need to use Forms Personalization. Responsibility: Receivables Manager Navigation: Transactions > Transactions
