Authorization converting PR to PO

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Buyer A is allowed to display PR for purchasing group P1 and Q1. During PR conversion to PO, he should allowed to process for PR with purchasing group Q1 only.

Is there any solution for this scenarios since in current design those authorized to display P1 and Q1, the buyer is also able to convert to PO for both PR. We want to control.

Pls help

Thanks.

Hi,

If it is related to authorisation ,if you get message : "No authorisation to TCode."Run SU53 TCode and send the screen shot of SU53 to Basis Team. They will give authorisation to TCode in Roles for the User.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

There won't be any system issues (performance / time taken).

Only effort is creating & updating the Z table.

Hi,

EVO may not help because

"This Specifies a default value for a field for the parameter. The value is only valid for the current user.

If you specify a value for the parameter, this value is always defaulted when the user displays the field.

*If the user enters a new value in the field, the new value is only kept during the session. For the value held in the user master record to come into effect again, save the parameter. "*This means you can overwrite the defaulted value.

You can ask your ABAPer to check out some user exit (at the time of saving Purchase Order, ME21N) which will compare the Purchasing Group. If the value is equal to allowed Purchasing Group, then system will save PO. If not then system will shwo error message.

I think you need to maintain Z table which the user exit will compare before saving a PO.

Please check this and let me know if it worked?

Let me know, if you find out solution without Z development.

Thanks Anand, that last option that currently I have. It looks standard SAP authorization that those authorize to display PR will able to convert to PO.

I'm quite worry using BADI because PR purchasing group at item level. I need to loop each item of PR to check the purch. group.

Remove PO creation Authorization( ME21N) for Purchase group P1..

In the PO Creation Role, Under Purchase Group Choose only Q1 ...

[Former Member]

I've already tested that but it not work. I set in PO creation role for buyer A1 is only purch group Q1. But when he adopt PR from purch. group P1, system will prompt error in ME21N. Then he change the pruch. group to Q1 and can save. I dont want the buyer to process PR under purch. group P1 at all but he can view only.

Pls help.
