3535908 - Access Control Restriction for "Billing" tab of "Plan Customer Projects" App in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

The requirement is to provide access control for specific users in the "Plan Customer Projects" app: Only limited users should get authorization to access the "Billing" tab to view billing items and billing plans.

Environment

Project-Based Services in Sales Documents

Cause

Resolution

Below are the detailed steps:

  1. Search for the business role, e.g., "BR_PROJECT_MANAGER_PROF_RESTRICTED" in the "Maintain Business Roles" app.
  2. Click "Edit" and go to the "General Role Details" tab.
  3. Maintain "Write, Read, Value Help" as "Restricted" and then click the "Maintain Restrictions" button.
  4. Click into the "General" restriction type and find the restriction "Sales Document Type".
  5. Click the "Edit" button and select "Not Maintained" for "Field Settings". 
  6. Assign this business role to the related business user.
  7. This way, when switching to the "Billing" tab in the "Plan Customer Projects" app, errors will appear: "No display authorization for document type SO01" "You cannot navigate to billing. Please contact support".

*Please note that when restricting users for sales orders (SO01), they can also not perform other operations in other areas of the project app. Therefore When a project is closed, the system reads, checks and tries to set the status for sales orders, that's the reason why a user cannot close projects. So this cannot work and should be done by a user who has access to change sales orders. Therefore ensure that another user should perform these actions.
