Authorization Administration for Budget Access  

Use

You use this function to define the processing options for each user in price planning. The assignment of these authorizations is linked to the budgets used. By grouping users into price planner groups that are authorized for certain budgets, you can also ensure representation in task processing.

To monitor budget overruns you can use an approval procedure. Only certain defined approvers can release price plans that cause budget overruns or break other release rules.

The following figure outlines the approval procedure for releasing price plans in connection with the budget function:

Prerequisites

·        You have made the settings for budget planning.

·        If you want to use the approval procedure, you have activated it in Customizing for the Price Planning Workbench (PPW).

You activate the approval procedure in Customizing for Logistics – General under Price Planning ® Configure General Parameters, in the group box Process-Independent Settings.

·        In order to process price planner groups, you have the required authorization for the area 01 for the authorization object WRF_PPWADMIN.
