Vendor master changes status through Fk08

Former Member — Thu, 17 May 2012 09:15:24 GMT

Hi All,

I have configured the Vendor master dual control feature and while testing with complete cycle , i found the invoice document is not getting blocked as SAP says. I created a Vendor and Changed the vendor master Name

so that it asks for confirmation of changes by using FK08 transactions. but I am not confirm , fk08 statues still to be confirm.

When I make payment through f-53 or F110 against vendor, system will allowing to me for payment please suggest where I did misconfiguration.

Regards,

Venki

Have you defined required field names in Define Sensitive Fields for Dual Control (Vendors)?

Also the changes done by you can't confirmed by you. The other user has to confirm the changes.

Dear,

If you make the changes to these sensitive field you CANNOT confirm them in FK08.

Another SAP User has to log in and confirm the changes.

What sensitive fields you have maintained. Usually name is not a sensitive field, the fields like payment terms, payment methods, payment blocks etc. are sensitive fields.

You need to check whether this will only stop F110 or even F-58 / F-53

Thanks,

Ravi

PS: If you are changing and again your confirming the changes, then the very purpose of "Dual Control" will be defeated.

Hi All,

vendor master sensitive fields changed by master controller and every changes approved by manager,

Here my case is vendor sensitive field like P terms etc changed by master controller still that changes

not approved by manager but system allowing user to post transactions, this my question and also,

when I am creating new vendor master how this sensitive field act, means should user take approval or any changes done then he want to take approval.

Dear Ramana,

What you do outside of SAP is not matter for SAP.

You should give the authorisations accordingly. Here, we are talking about two users.

User 1 - Should be able to change the sensitive fields. (You can give whatever name you would like to give to that user) - may be "AP Master Data clerk"

User 2 - Should have the access to approve the changes FK08 (You can give whatever name you would like to give to that user) may be "Manager"

If you change those sensitive fields, then the Vendor Master Data will be redundant, until the changes are approved the manager. For further information, please refer help.sap.com

At the time of creation there is no check on these sensitive fields.

Thanks and Regards,

Ravi
