  • This view id PAYMENT REPORTING got assigned to INVALID WORK CENTER view which is not correct.

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Application and User Management work center.
  2. Go to Business Role sub view.
  3. Search for the Business Role 'XYZ'. ('XYZ' refers to Business Role ID)
  4. Select edit and navigate to the 'Work center and view Assignment' tab.
  5. Under the work center FIN_PAYABLESAP, the view id PAYMENT REPORTING is assigned to INVALID WORK CENTER name.

 

Cause

This expectation is that the Business role 'XYZ' with the view id PAYMENT REPORTING should not be assigned to the INVALID WORK CENTER View. 

One of the reasons might be that this view is assigned from FDE_ADMIN Business role. This role has Work Center FIN_PAYABLESAP. And all the users who are assigned with this role FDE_ADMIN will have the view PAYMENT REPORTING.

Please Note: This Invalid assignment won't cause any issues.

  • The PAYMENT REPORTING view becomes active when the "Payment Times Reporting" business option group is scoped.
  • Currently, this business option group is not scoped in the customer/partner tenant.
  • It is likely that the business option was scoped in the past, and the customer/partner assigned the view to business users through the Business Role.
  • Later, the business option was descoped, rendering the view inactive.
  • The assignment to the Business Role or Business Users is not automatically removed upon descoping.
  • Manual removal of the assignment is required.

Resolution

It can be unassigned by following the below steps:

  1. Go to Application and User Management work center.
  2. Go to the Business Users sub view.
  3. Select that respective Business user.
  4. Go to the Business Roles view
