SAP SRM authorization object for manual create PO vs processing SC in SOCO

[Former Member]

Hi Experts

Is it possible via role authorization objects  for  a purchaser to create PO only through processing shopping carts in SOCO and but not able to manually create PO directly?

Appreciate any insight how to do this.

Thanks!

Hi Dex,

I just assume you're on SRM 7 ...

You can use BADI BBP_AUTHORITY_CHECK for this. I would implement this BADI so that whenever the current context is not "SOCO" and the ACTVT field is passed as "Create" (= 01) it should return 4. That means wherever SRM checks if the current user is allowed to create a PO it gets the answer "not allowed", only in Sourcing the real authorization is used.

You can read the current context using:

  lo_transaction_context = /sapsrm/cl_transaction_context=>/sapsrm/if_transaction_context~get_instance( ) .

  if lo_transaction_context->get_transaction_group( ) eq lo_transaction_context->gc_ta_group_soco.

That should work.
