Restrict AR approval with IMA11

[Former Member]

Hello,

We approve ARs with a workflow, but that is also possible to do manually in IMA11.

I cannot find any authorization object for system status to restrict it, and do not want duplicating system statuses with user statuses.

How can I make sure that Approval status can be set only through a workflow?

Thank you.

Hi Peter,

I guess the only option is to restrict IMA11 business transaction like Approval / Release from all roles.

When the work flow is updating IMA11 transaction, it should not pick the user ID, rather than batch user ID, by which it will have SAP All access. This requires ABAP and Workflow help.
