The task of an accounts payable accountant is to ensure an effective, efficient, and accurate invoice and payment process. Accounts payable accountants make sure that the vendor accounts are in order and support a smooth period-end close. They also keep the days payable outstanding amounts high in order to maximize liquidity.
Note
This is a sample role. Instead of using the delivered role directly, you should copy it to one or more roles of your own. You then assign the authorizations.
You must assign OData service authorizations for the app to your users.
Caution
Several authorization default values are connected to the OData service. To ensure that all these default values are assigned to a user, you have to follow the instructions given under the documentation links provided.
Make the assignment on the back-end server and on the front-end server:
On the back-end server, a dedicated authorization role (PFCG role) for the OData service is delivered as an example. You can copy this role and adjust it to your needs. For more information, see Back-End Server: Assign OData Service Authorization to Users.
On the front-end server, you must assign the OData service authorization to a new or existing role, such as a business role that has been adjusted according to your needs. For more information, see Front-End Server: Assign OData Service Authorization to Users.
