Enter Invoice Centrally screen - Add Catalog Item: MDM - payable clerk role

[former_member205101]

Hello,

Right now payable clerk role and Create invoice, user is getting option to

add item thru Catalog item ie SRM-MDM Catalog option.

Business does not like to that option in Invoice level.

Please let me know whether standard SAP support that

functionality or any notes or hint to hide that option .....will be appreciated.

I hope that we can control that UI BADI for that screen .

We have SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 functionality and SRM 5.5.

First of all why SAP given that kind of functionality in invoice screen to add item thru Catalog.

I know that we can create invoice with out reference to PO or add items if needed. In general, i am not seeing more need for this functionality from business users.

Process Experts: Please throw some light on the above point..what kind business need or what kind of domain....they use this kind of functionality....Practical scenario which you come across to use that option.

Hi,

If the payroll clerk does not have authorization to access the catalog, then they cannot add items from it, if they have authorization from PPOMA_BBP to do so, then why are you being so selective as to where they can access it from?? They can either (a) Access catalog to which they are assigned from any supporting Business Object or (b) They cannot access any catalogs as they do not have proper authority.

Regards,

Jason

Hello Jason,

Thanks for your reply.

Catalog is assigned to all user in user level in attributes ie PPOMA_BBP tcode.

Business does not want to see Catalog button in invoice level and Purchase order level. They are not doing any thing with button at invoice level. ie Add Catalog item using SRM-MDM Catalog

But the same user wants to see SRM-MDM Catalog in Requester role --> request goods and services.

is it controllable in attribute level?

Thanks in advance
