batch approval security


I know that this might not be traditionally in the remit of the technical person, but I felt the need to blog on it.  I got asked a question that related to an error message like

Issues (click each label for more information):






An error has occurred, but it cannot be corrected from this form. Please correct any other errors and then contact your System Administrator regarding this error.
CAUSE: Batch security has been set up. User does not have authority to approve or pend a batch.
RESOLUTION: Contact your Data Processing Department to obtain authority.


ER Details:

Form 
P0011_W0011A
Control Id 
54
Control Title 
Batch Approval
Event 
Button clicked
Line No 
98
Error ID 
1258
Please look for the highlighted fields, correct the entries, and resubmit your request.

This is actually solved by accessing P00241 - batch approval security.  You can specify a user and whose batches they are able to approve.  It's pretty simple.  You also have a few tick boxes that allow you to choose whether this security is enabled for A/P, A/R or G/L - pretty neat hey!

I have a fear that I did know about this many beers ago, because the app name is fairly catchy (for a nerd) P00241 (2 for 1).

So, if you get batch approval security problems, you might be able to solve them with this snippet.
