Question:
Hi,
I have a scenario where there is a group of buyers who also have authorisation to do first level approval of PO's (they all have the same release code). Is there any way to stop a buyer from being able to create a PO and then approve it themselves?
Many thanks,
WL
Answer:
Nope, not as delivered by SAP...
This is what Detective controls are for and what Segregation of duties is all about.
Answer:
You use the phrase "first level approval" and this implies that there's a "final level of approval" so one thing you can do is to withdraw release codes from your buyers completely and give them to the "final level of approval" person(s) - this will kill your problem in its tracks.
A half-way house may be to configure your buyers' release codes to be only up to a certain (minimal) value so the risk of them approving (say) a Ferrari is mitigated.
