Identity Management for Accounting ClerksLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

Your company hires an employee for accounts receivable and accounts payable accounting. You want to allow this new employee automatic access to all functions in the corresponding company code of your system that he needs to do his regular job.

Prerequisites

To be able to use this function, you have to have installed SAP NetWeaver Identity Management 7.1 and application components Accounts Payable (FI-AP) or Accounts Receivable (FI-AR) of SAP ERP Financials (as of SAP Enhancement Package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0) and connected them with each other.

To distribute the user data to SAP ERP Financials, you require role SAP_FI_AP_AR_IDM_INTEGRATION.

Key Features

SAP NetWeaver Identity Management creates a user for the new employee in the accounting system in the required company code. The system then enters the user under his initials in the company code as an accounting clerk (for example, in company code 0001 with initials PM for user MAJORP). As a result, the new employee can log on in the accounting system and use the necessary transactions. In addition, he can assign customers or vendors or have them assigned by an administrator, and so be designated as a contact person for correspondence, dunning and checks, for example, or select his worklist in processes such as payment proposal processing.

We deliver the following single roles as examples for accounts payable:

  • SAP_FI_AP_DISPLAY_BALANCES

  • SAP_FI_AP_DISPLAY_CHECK

  • SAP_FI_AP_DISPLAY_DOCUMENTS

  • SAP_FI_AP_DISPLAY_MASTER_DATA

  • SAP_FI_AP_DISPLAY_PARKED_DOCUM

  • FIN_ACCOUNTING_CLERK

  • SAP_FI_ACCOUNTANT_PAY

We deliver the following single roles as examples for accounts receivable:

  • SAP_FI_AR_DISPLAY_CUST_INFO

  • SAP_FI_AR_DISPLAY_DOCUMENTS

  • SAP_FI_AR_DISPLAY_MASTER_DATA

  • SAP_FI_AR_DISPLAY_PARKED_DOCUM

  • FIN_ACCOUNTING_CLERK

By assigning corresponding business roles in SAP NetWeaver Identity Management to the appropriate single roles that you use in your company, you can control which functions can be accessed by a user. Contained within these example roles, among other things, is that a user can execute the following transactions as soon as the data distribution from SAP NetWeaver Identity Management to SAP ERP Financials has been completed:

  • Display master data (FK03)

  • Display line item list (FBL1N)

  • Display master data (FD03)

  • Line item list (FBL5N)

The function uses BAdI implementation BADI_IDM_FI_ACCOUNTINGCLERK of Business Add-In (BAdI) BADI_EXTEND_IDENTITY.
