Authorizations in Credit Management

[Former Member]

Hi,

There is a requirement to control the release of the Blocked Sales Orders due to credit check through a customized transactions. For this a Z transaction has been developed which will have a list of Sales orders which are blocked due to Credit Check. In this case Authorized users need to release the sales orders from the check for further processing. The release of the sales orders Authorization is given to set of people who will release the sales orders based on the Document value.For example if the document value is upto 1000pounds, XYZ user will release the sales order. If 1000 to 3000 pounds, ABC user will release the order. In this case system should not allow the XYZ user to release the sales order or value more than 1000 pounds. Can we control this through Authorization? If yes can you please brief about the same.

Thanks in advance.

For maintaining authorization:

SPRO --> IMG >SD> BF> CM/RM> CM/RM settings --> Maintain authorizations

<b>Document Value Class:</b>

Document value classes provide a means of assigning sales order and sales and distribution documents depending on their document value

Using the document value classes, credit representatives, for example, can be given different authorizations for credit allocations depending on the document value.

Actions

1. Create document value classes according to your requirements by entering a three-character alphanumeric key and a textual description.

2. Make sure that the credit representatives are allocated to the document value classes.

Assign Document value Classes:

1. Enter a credit control area and allocate a credit value to it in a relevant currency.

2. Allocate a document value class.

3. Make sure that the credit control area was entered in the corresponding customer master records.

Maintain Authorizations:

Here u need to create roles and for perticular user , you can assign that authorizations.

Hi,

Problem looks intresting,though i have not worked on authorization much but i think one way you can do it is

1. create a z table having relationship of order type (if you want) and order value with user ids.And with the help of help of ABAPer and basis person you can create a authorization object.

2.In this code you can give the condition as if document value exceeds say 1000 then only XYZ user can release that order...

Well atleast you can discuss this with your team members and find out if this can be done.

Reward points if useful.
