2650386 - Supplier Access Restrictions by Company is Not Working

You configured access restrictions for the Supplier Base work center for a specific company; however, the user can still view all suppliers or when creating a new supplier invoice, the user can view all suppliers.

SAP Business ByDesign.

Restricting access:

1. Navigate to the "Application and User Management" work center.
2. Open the "Business Users" view.
3. Select the desired user and click "Edit" -> "Access Rights."
4. Proceed to the "Access Restrictions" tab.
5. Choose the Work Center View ID 'BPM_SUPPLIERS.'
6. Set the Read/Write Access to "Restricted" and select the appropriate Access Group ID under Detailed Restrictions.
7. Save your changes.

User accessing Suppliers:

1. Navigate to the "Supplier Base" work center.
2. Open the "Suppliers" view.
3. Currently, users can view all suppliers without any restrictions.
4. Open any supplier profile.
5. Proceed to the "Financials" tab.
6. Notice that Payment Data is displayed only for the company for which access was granted.
7. If the user has write access and selects "View All," they can only add payment data for the company they have write access to.

There is currently no direct link between the supplier and the company. The company information in the supplier master data is exclusively accessible under the financial data tab. Consequently, restrictions are limited to payment data only.

To observe this, navigate to the Payables work center and access the Supplier Accounts view. Similarly, due to this setup, it's not feasible to restrict suppliers in supplier invoices or purchase orders

As this feature is currently unavailable in the system, we encourage you to post your request on the Customer Influence Forum or we suggest reaching out to your partners for assistance in its development.
