Hi:

For two users, one in A/P and the other in Purchasing, what is the best means of conducting segregation of duties?

Thanks!

John

    John,

    SOD SOX compliance I would teach my customers to use the specific Roles for each User. Now, the permissions will restrict the ability to perform functions/features. So for A/P, use the Accounts Payable Coordinator and Purchasing use Purchasing or Purchasing Agent.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Hi

    Usually purchaser should not be able to receive the product or pay for invoice. A/P should not be able to create PO or receive it. Also, AP should not be able to approve the PO. 

    See the following articles

    Assign them different roles and rolecenters is that best way to go i think.

    Exactly what role and rolecenter is dependent of what exact tasks they will performe.
