Dual control on sensitive fields change

Dear Expert
i would like to understand the implementation steps for dual control function. is there any complete guidance that able to share?
i have the following questions too:
based on my study, i don't see where is the control on this dual control function? because we still can post invoice and payment except blocking in payment run only.
in the standard functionality, is there any notification can be sent to authorised person whenever there is a change of sensitive field?
if the change is rejected, any notification can be sent to the person in charge, and how to do this?
so when a change is being rejected, but the change is remains effective, meaning that user needs to change back to old value manually?
is there a field named "One Time Account" in vendor master data? this was one of the sensitive fields that highlighted by IT auditor.
thanks in advance for any feedback.

Hi,
Please go through the following path for configuration :
Point No. 1
1> Customer
IMG --> Financial Accounting (New) --> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable --> Customer Accounts --> Master Data --> Preparations for Creating Customer Master Data --> Define Sensitive Fields for Dual Control (Customers)
2> Vendor
IMG --> Financial Accounting (New) --> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable --> Vendor Accounts --> Master Data --> Preparations for Creating Vendor Master Data --> Define Sensitive Fields for Dual Control (Vendors)
Point No. 2
You can execute transaction code FD08 in background with a periodic job for each User ID who has authorization and tick on Accounts to be confirmed by me and send the output via mail through distribution list or each user can view output by viewing spool by going to transaction code SP01.
Point No. 3
Same as point 2 only need to select option Accounts refused.
Point No. 4
Yes
Point No. 5
Same as point 1
Hope your issue gets resolved.

  • Dual Control for Sensitive fields  Transaction FD08?

    Hi all,
    When configuring the dual control for sensitive fields, Transaction i have a few questions:
    a) Is there a way (work around) by which I can add the sales area data fields to the catalogue of fields.
    b) More importantly, system allows to create the sales order even if the changes have not been confirmed by the respective approving authority, this alone beats the logic of configuring the sensitive fields.
    Is there some more setting or user exit which needs to be put in to prevent the user from creating the sales order unless the changes to the sensitive fields have been confirmed.
    Userfull answers will be rewarded!
    Thanks
    Kind Regards

  • HR Master Record Replication to FI with Dual Control for Sensitive Fields

    Dear Experts,
    We have an issue on our project whereby employee records are maintained in HR, but replicated to FI on a regular basis via tcode PRAA, creating employee vendors.
    We wish to activate the "Dual Control for Sensitive Fields" for the vendor master, however all employee vendors created via PRAA are also blocked and require confirmation.
    Have any of you encountered a similar issue, and how do you resolve it?
    Many thanks,

  • Dual control one-time vendors possible?

    Dear experts,
    Does any of you know if it is possible to have dual control on sensitive fields for one-time vendors?
    Thanks.
    Jurriaan

    Dear Aravind
    Thank you for  your answer.
    I have checked this in our system and it works fine if you change the vendor master data.
    However, when you enter the one-time vendor data (bank data) during  the creation of the vendor invoice, no dual control is executed by the system.
    That is the moment where we want to have that check because for every one-time vendor the bank account has to be entered by the user.
    Do you know if that is possible?
    Thanks.

  • Customer / Vendor Master Dual Control - Sensitive Fields

    Dear SAP Experts,
    I have configured a business requirement to extend the Senstive Field functionality towards customer master. I have defined the new Customer group and also assigned the fields. Every time a change to the Customer master record (KNA1 and KNB1) fields are changed, the message pops for the confirmation to be done thru FD08/FD09.
    The only question I have is the relevance behind this control as even after the changes not yet to be confirmed, the system is allowing me to bill the customer (Sd billing) and pass the entry to FI accounting? On the other hand the Vendor functionality does not allow a billing run unless and until the changes are confirmed. My question is what is the relevance of the customer master. Can anyone who has an idea about this provide some insight about the dual functionality of this sub module.
    Rgds,
    Abhai

    hello, friend.
    i wish to understand your situation better.  if the sensitive fields restrictions are working for vendor, then there should be similar features for customer.  the, my question is "are you -
    1.  "working in a DEV environment where you have consultant's (unlimited) authorization or
    2.  "working in a QAS/PROD environment where you have specific authorization?"
    perhaps you have already checked this, but please indicate if you the authorization groups and transaction codes authorization have been set for the users.
    many thanks.

  • Sensitive fields for dual control (vendors)

    Dear Experts
    I want to configure sensitive fields for dual control -Vendors. Iam unable to see the field "SWIFT".
    Can any one helps, please
    Regards
    Ahmed Zain

    Dear El Zain,
    Unfortunatelly due to the SAP Standard System Design, it is not possible
    to define SWIFT as sensitive field for dual control.
    Table T055F was not thought to change them.
    I'd suggest you to try using a BTE; please check by BERE transaction the
    BTE 00001450 (Vendor master record, individual duplicate check).
    'Function module SAMPLE_INTERFACE_00001450 must not be changed.
    Probably by this BTE you could reach your goal.
    I hope this helps.

  • Making LFBW Fields Sensitive for dual control

    Hello,
    I´ve been tasked to make the fields LFBW-WT_WITHCD(Withholding tax code)and LFBW-WITHT(Withholding tax type) sensitive(that is changes to be
    made
    to these fields need confirmation before being allowed, T-code
    FK08/FK09), but when I try to change them for the vendor using IMG(that
    is SPRO\ IMG\ Financial Acc.\ acc. receivable..\ vendor\ master\ prep.
    for creating..\ DEFINE SENSITIVE FIELDS FOR DUAL CONTROL\), I cant find
    these fields from LFBW among the allowed fields.
    Is there any way to add these field ti this customizing?
    Thanks a lot
    Regards

    Hello Sabrina,
    LFBW table fields are NOT defined as Sensitive fields. However there are couple of discussions on Addition of a new field. Check the links below and see if you can achieve your requirement. Else raise a message with SAP.

  • User wise change of sensitive fields

    Hi guys,
    We are having trouble with fields like payment term, payment block and baseline date. All user can change them as and when they want. Is there any possiblity of restricting of the change of these fields to users. I mean here,some users should be able to do the change and other can not.
    Br
    Samiti Chakri

    Dear Samiti Chakri ,
    You could create a profile by transaction PFCG to link to Your user, where You give them only the option to see the fields but not to change them. Please run SU24 and insert the transaction (fd02/fk02) to check the authorization objects linked to them.
    Or:
    you can go to SPRO > Financial Accounting(New) > Accounts Receivable and
    Accounts payable > Customer Accounts > Master Data > Preparations for
    creating Customer Master Data > Define sensitive fields for Dual Control
    You can see all the fields that are available for Sensitive Fields here in order to build up a dual cotrol.
    I hope this can help.

  • Master data changes Dual control (per Company code)

    Hello Experts,
    Am now planning to setup Dual Control for Vendor & Customer Master's Sensitive fields like Bank Account details (note that Bank details are setup in "General data" irrespective of Company code.
    My client has Companies spread across the globe.
    I have some questions. Hope somebody can help.
    1) Can i activate Dual Control functionality for just 1 or 2 Companies. As far as i know this is not possible in config. Any easy work around?
    2) If i implement this change as it is , how does it work?
      For example if an Accounting clerk in Germany changes a Vendor Bank Account number , any one who has access to FD08 (or FD09) in France can approve this change. Where as ideally this change should only be able to confirm by a Manager in Germany.
    This means every body can see & confirm other companies master data changes.
    Just a thought, can i restrict this in authorisation by Account Group?
    But isn't there a way to display only the relevant changes to be confirmed by each manager(limited to thier own Company or Account group)
    Thanks in advance.

    Bank Details are not company code specific. So can't restrict per company code.
    Any other suggestions, please ?

  • Define sensitive fields for vendor master record

    Hello,
    Wer are on SAP ECC 6.0 Customer wants to define sensitive fields for dual control. I have defined the bankaccount number as a sensitive field but I do not know how I need to define the other settings. Can anybody helpe me with that ? Where f.i do I define the persons who will confirm the changes ? n short which customzing steps do I need to follow to implment the sensitive fields for dual control.
    Thanks as ever!!

    Hi,
    You should not allow any user, whatever may be his or her position in the Organization with SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW profiles. It is totally against the Segregation of Duties and there is every possibility for making financial fradulent activities. Proper security approach is very much necessary in order give them the authorization on "NEED TO KNOW" Basis.
    Regarding your question of sending mail, there is no functionality as such in Standard SAP. However, by taking help from ABAPer and schedule in the non-peak hours (night time) to generate mails for the approvals of today.
    For your other question, which fields are to be kept Sensitive field, normally you can keep PAYMENT TERMS and PAYMENT METHODS as sensitive fields. You can also select other fields based on your business requirement.
    Please let me know if you need further information.

  • Dual Control for Vendor/Customer Master Data

    We can set Dual Control for Vendor/Customer Master Data. I have set it. According to the cycle, I have customized sensitive field, and make changes in Vendor/Customer A/c. Here the changes will be confirmed by other user who is authorised to confirm the changes. In this scenario, I would like to know, can we avoid this confirmation once we have actived? If, no than how could we confirm the changes and where can we set authorisation?

    Dear,
    No, You cannot avoid the dual check if You activate it. Another user by FK08 has to confirm the changes.
    Then You can delete the field for the dual control into the table T055F and no check will be done in the future.
    I hope this helps.

  • Dual control for vendors per Company code

    Hi,
    we are  going to setup dual control (sensitive fields) for master data of vendors (fk01, fk02).
    Is there a possibilty to use dual control only for certain company codes and not all?
    How can I restrict this - via workflow, user authorisation, user exit?
    Any idea or solution?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Yvonne

    Hi,
    thank you both for your fast replies.
    Dual control means we want to confirm critical vendor changes (t code fk08, fk09).
    That means if someone Create (fk01) or Change (fk02) Vendor data with sensitive fields, another person has to approve this changes in transaction fk08 or fk09.
    But this confirmation in fk08 and fk09 should not be necassary for all changes in fk01 or fk02, but only for some company codes.
    In this standard workaround in SAP all vendor changes need to be approved. How can I restrict this that only some company codes need to be confirmed in transaction fk08 and fk09.
    Thanks.
    Yvonne

  • Dual Control in G/L master data

    Hi All,
    Dual control principle is available for customer and vendor master data. Is there any such facility for G/L master data whereby any change in G/L master data can be checked/ confirmed by some other person.
    I want dual control principle to be implemented in G/L master data to have a check on the changes made in sensitive fields by manager.
    Can anyone help in this one...

    Dear gs_sapfi ,
    1. you can create a profile  to the transaction PFCG to link to your user,  you give them only the option to see the fields but not to change them.
    Please run SU24 and insert the transaction FS00 to check the authorization objects linked to them.
    2. you can control this field  F_BKPF_BES by GL  account

  • Dual Control for GL postings

    Hello
    My client, a bank, wants to activate Dual control for GL postings (so not only dual control for changing vendor or customer or bank or GL master data using sensitive fields in customizing). How can I realize this requirement?
    Regards
    Arjan
    Dual control  = A control procedure whereby the active involvement of two people is required to complete a specified process

    Hi,
    Do you want dual control over GL master data changes or GL postings? For master data changes you could look at user exit SAPMF02H and maybe block the GL after a change has been made. For dual control of postings you could look at the concept of parked documents and approval /posting via workflow.
    Cheers
