3556129 - Assigning Credit Analyst as Approver for Documented Credit Decision in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

  • The credit analyst assigned in the Manage Credit Account is not set as the first approver when an order goes on credit hold in Manage Documented Credit Decision.
  • The approval process can be set using the Rules app, but the credit analyst cannot be set as the approver.
  • The CBC activity 'Define Approval Process', which allowed setting the credit analyst as the approver, is not visible.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Assign a credit analyst in the Manage Credit Account.
  2. Place an order on credit hold in Manage Documented Credit Decision.
  3. Attempt to set the credit analyst as the approver using the Rules app.

Cause

The CBC activity 'Define Approval Process' is not present. This feature has never been part of SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. It has never been integrated in the Fiori App Manage Documented Credit Decisions. In that sense, any configuration was useless for the end user. It is obsolete, that is why it is deprecated.

Resolution

  1. Assign the responsible credit analyst per credit segment for the business partner using the business partner relationship type in credit management (TUKMSB0).
  2. Ensure the credit analyst also exists as an SAP business partner (person) in the employee role.
  3. Refer to the help portal document Authorizations for the Approval Process of Documented Credit Decisions for further guidance.
