Creating a Responsibility  

Prerequisites

Before you create responsibilities, you must Create a Container Definition. The values in the role container must either agree with the criteria defined for the responsibility or be in their area. The reason for this is that role resolution compares the two values in order to return a list of possible agents.

If you have created a container definition, the Responsibilities button appears on the Add Standard Role screen in the Role definition group box. If you are no longer on the Standard Role Definition screen, then in the SAP Standard Menu, choose Tools ® Business Workflow ® Development ® Definition Tools ® Standard Roles ® Change and enter the required role. Choose Change.
