#COE #BA01 Supplier Invoice Reverse without invoice posting access/catalog

[RyanMuller]

Hello,

We're using using the Supplier Invoice Approval Workflow (agent determined via BAdI) and our AP Coordinators/Clerks only have the ability to submit an invoice as completed/park an invoice. In our legacy system, they also had the ability to reverse invoices that were incorrectly posted, and we're struggling in S/4HANA Cloud to find a way that we can give them the same access.

Is there a way to give access to Reverse invoices without also granting them the ability to Post invoices directly?

We've been unable to find a catalog to this point which allows that/decouples the two functions and would appreciate any help.

Regards,

Ryan

We helped you to accept the answer, since there were no updates after 7 days.

You can unaccept it anytime if you have further questions.

Hi everyone!

I face the exact same issue. 

Also here we want the user to be able to reversed posted invoices without giving them the access to actually post them...

I struggle with authorization object F_BKPF_KOA...

it has activity "85-Cancel" but even with this button ticked and the option "01- Add or Create" unticked i still cannot reverse the invoice...

Hi r.muller - As save as complete invoice is not posted yet, can the AP accountant go and EDIT the invoice, besides reversing it. Just a thought.

Hi junaid.alam1976 - To be clear they are looking for the capability to reverse posted invoices approved in error, not correct those which are just submitted (they have that capability and can reject and restart the workflow).

Best,

Ryan

Hi Muller,

Try adding this catalog 'Accounts Payable - Reversal' also.

Hi sap.shakeel,

We've tried adding that catalog to our role containing SAP_MM_BC_INV_PARK_PC for parking invoices and it doesn't appear to unlock the ability to reverse invoices.

Any other suggestions?

Best,

Ryan

@RyanMuller were you able to solve this issue? We have the same requirement and we also raised a case for it to which SAP responded stating that "The authorization for reversing and posting supplier invoices cannot be split. When you reverse a supplier invoice, the system posts a credit memo for the invoice data, which is the same as posting a credit memo. To better understand the posting logic for reversing an invoice, please refer to note 2684816. https://me.sap.com/notes/2684816"
