Authorization for Finance app use case in S/4HANA Cloud

[BobShen]

Background

Recently we got the fiori app list from one customer, the requirement is whether the apps can be implemented with the following restriction in S/4HANA Cloud .

• ØIndependent authorization for different regions/countries --- in a short ‘Restriction by Company Code’ ;

• Ø Transactions can ONLY be recorded in authorized company code;

• Ø Reporting can ONLY be displayed by restriction of company code;

Core Finance Apps

So I tested these apps in S4HC 2002 system environment. And I listed the apps during the testing by LOB, which mainly cover core functions in Finance.

GL – General Ledger, 26 apps





AR – Account Receivable, 22 apps





AP – Account Payable, 15 apps



AA – Asset Accounting, 14 apps





CO – Controlling, 8 apps



Year End – Year End Closing, 7 apps



Conclusion

All the apps in the above tables can be restricted by company Code. From the introduction , you may know the general picture of the authorization in Finance area.
