Background documentationAssigning Groups of Business Partners

 

When you set up your scenario, you can enter the business partner number of an organization as the quality manager or quality advisory board. Any person assigned to the organization can then approve a quality gate. The details of the user who passed the quality gate are logged in the system for later reference.

Note that if you enter a business partner number for an organization, you cannot call up the details of each individual in the Business Partner dialog box.

Caution Caution

In the interests of dual control, the quality manager and the member of the quality advisory board must not be the same person. If you use business partner groups, the system checks only whether the group number for the quality manager is identical to the group number for the quality advisory board. It does not check the business partner numbers for the individuals assigned to the group.

End of the caution.
