Approver not authorized to approve

[chaga]

Hello dears,

We have a manager assigned to approve payments, and today while trying to approve a bank transfer, he received the below error:

"You are defined as approver but do not have authorization to approve"

Any idea what might cause that, as I wasn't able to find anything online pertaining to the error.

Hello,

This warning message appears when the current user is the only approver maintained but does not have the authorization to approve the task.

Although the current user is allowed to approve because he/she is maintained as the approver, you need to ensure that the current user is also authorized to approve this specific task as well. The warning is intended to inform the user about this process.

Also, kindly refer to the KBA 2063785 - How to Set Up Approval Process for Payments

Best Regards,

Prathibha

Hi Everyone.

We also encountered this error today.

We have followed the set-up indicated in the provided SAP KBA 2063785 - How to Set Up Approval Process for Payments, but the user still cannot approve the Outgoing Check transaction.

 Are there any setups needed to check aside from the Employee Work Distribution and Access Rights?

Thank you in advanced.

Regards

JM
