Basics: Appropriation Request - Authorization workflow

[#1]

Hi!

I have a question about the authorization workflow/procedure for Appropriation Requests.

1 - I want to create an appropriation request. When I am creating it, I don't know how many people will need to authorize it, and thus do not know how many steps my authorization procedure will be composed of.

2 - Is it possible for the system to recognize or submit authorization requests to staff which has been inserted at different moments of the AR creation?

2b - Or does the system standard say that once the AR is created I cannot modify the authorizors?

3 - Is there a transaction or report which allows me to see which authorization step I am at?

Thanks again for the help!

Hi Jessica,

Your question is bit wage. Please find below are the authorization check available

To check authorization object, you can execute SU24 and enter the transaction and execute, this will give the list. You can choose which object needs to be restricted for a particular user.

On creating AR through IMA11, you can decide on system status like create / release / approve / closure, also you can define user status to restrict if you need additional levels between two levels of system status i.e., create (review) release etc.

If you define who needs what access, like Accountant / Senior Accountant / Manager Accountant etc. List of users might not be important at this stage, since if you have defined the security process, then you can simply assign the roles.

Make sure you get details about the position / job structure with your client. Through this you can split the access.
