PR Approver not allowed to change PR but PR Creator allowed to change PR

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

My client has this requirement whereby only the PR creator (the person who has Authorisation to Tcode ME51N, ME52N and ME53N along with Activity - Create, Change and Display) can change a PR. They do not want any PR Approvers to change the PR when they access ME54N to approve the PR.

At the PR Release Indicator configuration, customization of the Field Selection Key for e.g. FZ01 or the Changeability to = 1 (Cannot be changed) even before any approval is given is not an option because it will block out even the PR creator.

I tried looking at the Authorization Objects for ME54N at PFCG but the moment I change any of the M_BANF* Authorization objects to Display only, I cant perform any approval at all.

Would really appreciate any advise which can help solve my issue. Thanks in advance.

Dear Leonardo,

Try setting the field selection as display only for me54n transaction.Your client can edit the pr in me52n and you fix the authorization to only me54n for approvers.

Hi Kris,

Thanks for your solution. It seems to work fine for me except that the Cost Center field is still open for changes. I understand that for the PR field selection status, fields like Cost Center, WBS element or Asset cannot be controlled.

Any idea on how to to make these fields a display field only for Tcode ME54N ?

Would really appreciate any help for this last part. Thanks

Hi,

I also had similar requirement from my client regarding the changes should not be allowed in ME54N.But for cost center you can't grayed out ( non editable ) which I have already tried.
