3505906 - Restrict Authorization for Supplier Invoice approval in My Inbox based on Company Code does not work

Symptom

Supplier Invoice approval in My Inbox App should be restricted based on Company Code. 

Environment

S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

The Business role of users is restricted with Write/Read/Value Help for Company Code which they shouldn't approve, however restriction is not working.

Cause

Approval in My Inbox for Supplier Invoices can be restricted with catalogue SAP_MM_BC_INV_WIAPPROVE_PC: Restricted access category "Write/Read/Value help" has to be configured for those Company Codes, for which the user is allowed to approve invoices. 

Resolution

Prerequisites for the restriction:

  • Supplier invoice approval restriction in My Inbox is based on catalogue SAP_MM_BC_INV_WIAPPROVE_PC, so the user which is to be restricted, has to be assigned with this business catalogue. 
  • In the SSCUI 500118 "Activate Flexible Workflow for Supplier Invoices"  the "Check authorization for Flexible Workflow Steps" has to be marked.


In "Maintain Business Users" App, the access category "Write/Read/Value help" has to be configured as "Restricted".  Within Company Code configuration, please choose the company code(s) for which the user is eligible to approve supplier invoices. For all the other company codes, the user won't be able to approve supplier invoices. If only display function is needed, you may choose a company code for the user, which is not used in your system.
