3719298 - Cannot split the authorization to post and reverse supplier invoices in SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Symptom

It is not possible to only give user authorization to reverse supplier invoice while restrict the authorization to post invoice.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Assign business catalog SAP_MM_BC_INV_PROCESS_MC or SAP_MM_BC_INV_PROCESS_PC to a user.
  2. The user is able to both post and reverse supplier invoices.

Cause

The authorization for reversing and posting supplier invoices cannot be split. This is because when reversing a supplier invoice, the system automatically posts a credit memo which is also an invoicing document. 

It is not possible to sperate the posting of credit memo and posting of a supplier invoice based on roles assigned. Therefore if a user has the authorization to reverse the supplier invoice, (s)he will also be able to post the supplier invoice as well. 

Resolution

This is standard system behavior.

Workaround：

The Custom Logic MRM_CHECK_INVOICE_CLOUD(Check Invoice Data) can be used as a workaround. 

Take the following scenario as an example: Users cannot post supplier invoice but can reverse supplier invoice. A sample code is provided for reference only.

IF ( action = if_ex_mrm_check_invoice_cloud=>c_action_check

     OR action = if_ex_mrm_check_invoice_cloud=>c_action_post )

   AND headerdata-reversedocument IS INITIAL

   AND headerdata-reversedocumentfiscalyear IS INITIAL.

  APPEND VALUE #(

    messagetype      = if_ex_mrm_check_invoice_cloud=>c_messagetype_error

    messageid        = 'MRM_BADI_CLOUD'

    messagenumber    = '001'

    messagevariable1 = 'Posting/checking is not allowed.'

  ) TO messages.

ENDIF.
