HI,

The role /SAPSRM/SECRETARY is an additional function specific role similar to /SAPSRM/MANAGER for example. These function specific roles include only authorization for the specific topics needed for this function. Beside this roles all users will also need the /SAPSRM/EMPLOYEE role to be assigned to them. This role contains all necessary authorizations for creating shoping cart und must be assigned to all employees who are intended to use the shopping cart functionality.

Regards,

Guilherme.

Hi,

Secretary roles are usually used in case of 'On behalf shopping' for a user or for an entire department.
