5. You want to select a certain user to setup Approval Value Limits for him but cannot find him in the value help.

All the prerequisites are not fulfilled for the user to appear. The user is missing assignments.

The criterion for a user to appear in the Value Selection is to have at least one of the following views assigned:

MMA_COSTMANAGEMENT
MMA_MYORGANIZATION
MMA_MYTEAM
MMA_OPERATIONALPURCHASING
MMA_SUPPLIERINVOICING
PRO_PROJECTS

Also note if a user is locked because their start date is in the future, they do not appear in this list in spite of having the correct assignments as the system works based on the effective date.
If the user is not valid for today, then in purchasing approval value limit effective today, user is not available in the value help.
