Hi,

Attach the composite role SAP_EC_BBP_ST_PURCHASER to your user via transaction PFCG

Hi

Please read this carefully.

Define Roles
Check whether the roles delivered by SAP meet your requirements. If not, you can create new roles and assign transactions to them. We recommend that you copy standard roles and tailor them to your requirements.
 
All users assigned to a respective role are then allowed to carry out the transactions. If required, you can refine the authorization check on the tab page Authorizations.
 
Note: You do not assign the users in this step. On creation the composite roles are automatically assigned to the users. You can change the roles using the Web function Manage Users.

Activities

If you want to create your own composite role, proceed as follows:

1. Enter a name for the composite role and create it.
2. Enter a description and save it.
3. On the Roles tab page, enter the relevant single roles that you want to assign to the composite role.
4. On the Menu tab page, import the transactions of the single roles and structure the menu as desired.
5. Save your entries.
Note: Before a user logs on for the first time, you must generate the authorization profile for the single roles on the Authorizations tab page and execute the user synchronization onthe User tab page.

Note: For the roles purchaser, operational purchaser, and purchasing assistant, the Extended Form user interface is available as standard in the shopping cart. This enables temporary staff to be ordered, for example.

For the other roles, the Wizard (BBPSC 02) user interface is available as standard in the shopping cart. You can replace this with the Simplified Form (BBPSC 03) user interface.

If you want to replace BBPSC 02 with BBPSC 03, proceed as follows:

1. Call transaction PFCG.
2. Select composite role SAP_BBP_STAL_EMPLOYEE.
3. Switch to change mode.
4. Choose the Menu tab page.
5. Import the menu.
6. Choose Merge.
The folder for newly-added menu options appears in the menu.
7. Select BBPSC03.
8. Move the entry to the relevant place.
9. Delete BBPSC02.
10. Delete the folder for newly-added menu options.
11. Save your entries.
12. Choose the User tab page.
13. Execute the user synchronization.
If you want to extend single roles, proceed as follows:

1. Call transaction PFCG.
2. Select the single role, for example, SAP_EC_BBP_EMPLOYEE.
3. Switch to change mode.
4. Choose the Menu tab page.
5. Choose Assign transaction.
6. Enter the transaction code (such as BBPSC01).
7. Choose Assign transactions.
8. Move the entry to the relevant place.
9. Delete any other transactions.
10. Save your entries.
11. Choose the Authorizations tab page.
12. Choose Change authorizations.
13. Save your entries and generate the new authorization profile.
14. Choose the User tab page.
15. Execute a complete user synchronization.
16. Perform steps 1-13 of the section above (replace BBPSC03).

Note: In transaction PFCG, you can decide whether the side menu for composite roles should be shown or hiddenas default. Select thePersonalization tab page, the key is SPERS_BROWSERMENU. The side menu will only be hidden, however, if this is set in all the composite roles assigned to the user. The status that is selected and saved by the user overrides the default setting.


Choose Save.

Hope this will help.
