User Authorizations
Another way that an ERP system can prevent employee theft is through user
authorizations and separation of duties. SAP ERP has sophisticated user administration
tools that allow different levels of authorization management, to ensure that employees
can perform only the transactions required for their jobs. The system controls user
authorizations through its Profile Generator, which provides a simple method for selecting
the functions a user should be allowed to perform.
Figure 5-13 shows a predefined role in the SAP ERP system for a user whose job
involves managing material master data and bills of material. This employee can perform
any transactions shown on the role menu in Figure 5-13.
