Cause

Coming from the additionally assigned Work Center Views "Fixed Asset" or View "General Ledger - Recurring Journal Entry Vouchers" a policy is created that gives a user, the authorization in the "General Ledger" Work Center in general, to post in all Companies that he/she is allowed to post to in the additionally added Work Center Views. This policy is needed to allow the reversal of Journal Entry Vouchers created by the business users.

You can find the Access rights for Fixed Asset work center using below steps:

  1. Go to Application and User Management Work Center.
  2. Navigate to the Business User View.
  3. Search for the User ID.
  4. Click on Edit - Access Rights.
  5. Go to Access Restriction tab
  6. Filter with Workcenter View Name - Fixed Assets

You can find:

  • Company PQR is ticked with Read and Write access.

Resolution

This is a standard system behaviour.
