PR Park and Hold authorization

[Ahmed_Hashem2]

Dears,

we need to implement a new scenario, where end user creates parked PR only, then finance check the PR and validate the GL account or asset number, then save to be removed from park and go to release.

we already activated the Park and Hold in Procurement, but could find its authorization object to give to user for only park PR and other to post it.

In standard, no authorization object available for restricting users from posting the PR.  You may check the Badi  ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST for this purpose.

Hi,

Go for creation of PR with BDC or LSMW with a approved file only.

Handle approval of G/L account and other related for the creation PR  with a file with as follow

1. Data required for creation of PR by users/user( create a file with specific template)

2. Correction of file by finance department( approval of file)

3. Once the file corrected- you can create PR with BDC or LSMW in SAP

Hi,

   Instead of development, I would suggest to maintain release strategy for PR with finance department as one level of approval. Once the user create PR, it can go to finance for approval and finance can validate the GL and asset. Once its validated and confirmed, finance can release the PR and then it can go for normal approval procedure.

Dear PRASOON,

we already thought in this solution , but we already have around 300 release strategy, so I searched for Park authorization.

Thanks

if that is the case why you want to Hold and Park functionality. You can create separate PR type that will be used to create such PRs that include asset and G/L number and accounting department in the release strategy

We used this strategy for all account assigned PRs, these PRs are reviewed by Accounting department with their release code.. this will save lot of efforts you putting now and you have proper approval/review mechanism.

Thanks,

Jagdeep

OK, but we need to control it by allowing user to Park only and after finance check he can post it.

it is already made scenario in finance document where is seperate role for park and post.

[jagdeepsingh83]

Then, you can not control in standard you need to use ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST Badi only.

Method that you use is- Item_processing
