2857714 - Creating employee, maintaining employee data, and required authorizations in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

• When creating a purchase requisition (PR) using the app Create Purchase Requisitions, some errors related to authorizations are being raised.
• In the case of Guided Buying Capability with SAP Ariba Buying (2NV), when the S4HanaUserIdentifierInAriba is set to 2 in Ariba Guided Buying, the requisition currently fails in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, since the External Business Partner ID has not been created as an employee in the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition system.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

The user does not have the proper authorizations or the user is not linked to an Employee (BUP003 role of the Business Partner).

If the issue is related to the authorization, please go to the tile "Maintain Business Roles" and confirm wether the user has the enough authorizations. All the documentation is accesible via the documentation for the Identity and Access Management.

If the user is not linked to an Employee, the workflow to create the Purchase Requisition will not work. Hence, it is necessary to create the Employee, for example via Manage Workforce App. Further details about how to maintain employee data in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition in this KBA 2646803 - How to maintain employees data in an SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
