Symptoms

We have set up action security for P03013, Customer Master, with Add, Change, Delete, and Copy set to No, and OK/Select and Scroll to End set to Yes.

If I access this program from the menu, it appears to be working correctly. If I go into Address Book (P01012), select an existing customer, and take the A/R exit, then my OK button is correctly grayed out. However, if I select an existing address book record that does not contain a customer master record, my OK button is enabled.

Since I have both Add and Change set to No in my security, I do not understand why this is happening. Action security to an Add button does not prevent users from adding new records directly in the grid.
