2917058 - Manage Purchase Orders restrictions

Symptom

In the business process, handling of Purchase Orders is restricted exclusively within designated areas of user responsibility. For this reason, a custom business role with restrictions on the Company Code has been established. However, the 'Manage Purchase Orders' application displays Purchase Orders from other Company Codes, resulting in a worklist that is not confined to the designated Company Code.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Assign a User a business role with a restriction on Company Code level. 
  2. Open the APP 'Manage Purchase Orders' and run an open search of Purchase Orders. 
  3. Purchase Orders from various Company Codes are unexpectedly displayed in the list.

Cause

In the APP 'Manage Purchase Orders' restrictions can be based on the Purchase Organisation, Purchasing Group or Document type. There is no restriction on the Company Code available.

Resolution

In the APP 'Maintain Business Roles' you can set up restrictions on the Purchase Organisation, Purchasing Group or Document type depending on your requirenment.
