Issue : PO Approval Authorisation - ME28 transaction.

[Former Member]

Hi,

Here is my scenario, user can approve the PO that do not match the "Purchase Group" and "Release Code" defined in the role.

Example: Sample role and matrix. I have 2 roles for User 2, one is to approve PO for Release Code C & Group1/2/3/4, another one is approve PO for Release Code B & Group 1.

However, this user can approve Release Code B in Group 2,3 and 4. Cannot understand what is the reason.

I would like to know is this standard SAP behaviour? Or anything I do to block the user from unauthorize access. Thanks.

Hi,

If you want to restrict user for releasing PO for a particular purchasing group, then you can specify in Rel. Characteristics with Pur.Group - CEKKO-EKGRP and assign it to the class. This will allow to release PO only for the Pur.Groups specified with that value of characteristics/class.

What you are showing is the auth. profile which is for viewing/changing purchasing documents for that particular purchase group (which may not be used for release strategy).

Please check it by specifying purchasing group in your restriction in characteristics & class of PO release strategy.

regards,

Bala.
