Error Message : Employee XXXX does not exist or is not authorized as purchaser responsible

[KHAMMAR]

Hello Community,

I am working on Fiori apps, when i try to release the questionnaire for the supplier evaluation, i get this message : Employee XXXX does not exist or is not authorized as purchaser responsible.

If anyone has an idea about the roles to add too.

Can you please help !

Thank you very much

Hi Karim, did you find a solution to this problem? I´m stuck! I tried to create an employee related to a business partner with no success. I create purchasing data to an employee, and this employee is linked to my Fiori user. I reviewed SAP note 2458908 ... Any suggestion?

See note 2652765:

Search for the following roles in transaction PFCG: /SRMSMC/* and assign the appropriate one to the user.

If you are using custom roles make sure to set the proper role attribute for /SRMSMC/PFCG_ROLE_ATTRIBUTES under the Personalization tab in PFCG.

In the custom roles, make sure that following authorization objects are included:

/SRMSMC/BO
/SRMSMC/R3 - for purchasing categories
/SRMSMC/R4 - for supplier evaluations
/SRMSMC/R5 - for questionnaires

Hello,

i guess this error is a backend one.

Check in T100 table if it exists. If yes, check if where-used can help you.

Hi Karim,

Which Fiori app are you exactly referring to ? Did you check backend authorizations ? SU53 in backend and frontend both. This authorization is related to backend transactions.

1. May be you need to define a PERNR for this employee.

There is a KBA about this error, has no word of Fiori but I would take the chance to check the settings that are shown there:

2458908 - Error for 'Purchaser Responsible' While Assigning User with Custom Role

Hi Jürgen,

Should i add a role to my user so i can validate the questionnaire ?

[JL23]

without authorization a task cannot be performed - authorizations are usually in user roles

I am not yet on any system which uses Fiori, but I doubt that this general authorization concept has changed, so the answer would be "Yes"

I tried the purchaser manager role but it doesn't work
