Approver Role for MDG - M is expecting authorization for CR Type MAT01 with activity 01

[Former Member]

Hi,

Please share your inputs:

Requirement:

Standard CR Type: MAT01

Requestor Requests for Material Creation. (Standard Role: SAP_MDGM_REQ_05 is leveraged)

Approver: Should be enriching the data and Activating. (Standard Role: SAP_MDGM_STEW_05 is leveraged)

Unless Approver is given access for Auth OBj: USMD_CREQ with Activity '01', system is not allowing Approver  to activate.

Issue in giving MAT01 with Activity 01 is : Approver should not have any authorization to create a CR.

Note: Supplier roles are built and Approver role, does not expect authorization to VENDL1 with Activity 01.

Regards,

Archana.

Hi Arachna

For above role it says

This role contains all authorizations needed for special maintenance tasks and

administration for material master data. It is typically assigned to the person

responsible for the quality of master data. The same user usually also is

assigned the role SAP_MDGM_SPEC_05.

o   You must maintain authorizations separately for each role, these are
     not passed on automatically.

     -   However, you can adjust the authorization data for all derived
         roles during authorization data maintenance. This allows you to
         simultaneously change an entire cluster of derived roles. All
         authorization data (except for organizational levels) is
         transferred to the derived roles. To adjust the derived roles,
         choose Authorizations -> Modify Derived on the  Change Role:
         Authorizations screen.

     -   You can also copy the authorization data from the imparting role
         to the derived role.

o   The definition of an imparting role is optional. You can enter it by
     specifying a role in the field to Pass on transactions on this tab.
     The field is not ready for input as long as transactions are
     directly assigned in the Menu tab.
