Hi,
Within the company we have people who are dedicated to entering and booking of vendor invoices. In the case an invoice is blocked by SAP for payment they will also address the problem by notifying the person responsible. This first groep are Invoice clerks.
Another group of people are allowed to overrule the payment blocks set by SAP => manual release in MRBR). This second group are called Payment Authorizers.
Invoice clerks should have no authorization to release invoices manually in MRBR, an automatic release of invoices is allowed by invoice clerks (in that case it is not actually the invoice clerk, but SAP that detemines the right value for the payment block).
My main question is: can I authorize the invoice clerks for automatic release, but not for manual release in MRBR?
The Invoice clerks works in a WF and the WF only ends when the invoice is released for payment.
In the WF we have built a work item that triggers RM08release with the explicit selection on 'Automatic' and the invoice number the WF item is related to. That WF item now shows an error, because the user does not have the correct authorizations.
relevant authorization objects are:
M_RECH_SPG
M_RECH_EKG
???
Any suggestions are welcome.
thanks in advance,
Noud
p.s. RM08RELEASE also runs nightly, but being able to release the blocked invoice at the time the cause of the block is resolved, is preferred.
