Symptom
In the business scenario of supplier invoices, the restriction "Authorization Group for Journal Entry Document Type" check is invalid.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
The reproduction steps are mainly divided into two parts.
Firstly, user assigns an 'Authorization Group' to the document type:
- Open SSCUI 101522-Define Document Types.
- Select the relevant document type, eg. 'RE'.
- Enter an 'Authorization Group' eg. 'ABC'.
Secondly, user maintains restriction in Maintain Business Roles app for business role SAP_BR_AP_ACCOUNTANT.
- Open app Maintain Business Roles.
- Open the business role SAP_BR_AP_ACCOUNTANT and maintain restriction "Authorization Group for Journal Entry Document Type", such as 'ABC'.
- User creates a supplier invoice with document type 'ER' without restriction checks.
Cause
In SSCUI 101522-Define Document Types, the 'Authorization Group' for document type 'ER' is empty.
The restriction "Authorization Group for Journal Entry Document Type" is only checked, if the Authorization Group is not empty. Otherwise the check is skipped.
Resolution
Maintain another value(Not 'ABC') for the Authorization group for Document Type 'ER'.
