Authorisation in P2P workflow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 90

In the P2P functionality for 2012 R2 it seems that unless very complex workflows are set up, system users can still approve to any costs centre as long as it is beneath their approval limit. i.e. someone in supply chain could authorise someone in finance's requisition as there is no check on what cost centres can be approved to, which would not obviously be standard practice in any company due to delegation of authority rules. Has anyone found an easy way around as it appears the only way is to set up some very complex workflows ?

    Hi James,

    There is indeed a challenge configuring this.

    The standard requires complex workflows with (many) conditional statements. You can also think about a customization to create a new workflow provider which would provide one or more users relates to cost center(s) used on order lines.

    Hi James 

    I agree with Andre. You can accomplish this fairly simply by creating a custom Participant provider that reads off some some basic custom table or even off of the Dimension Value's "owner" field. We have done this quite often with our clients.

    Regards
