Overview of Data security for business processes and entities

	Overview of Data security for business processes and entities To reduce the risk of fraud and errors, data authorization is enabled for various business processes such as Project, Contract, Requisitions, Procurement, Sales, and Warehousing and entities such as Item and Business Partners. You can define roles for which the authorization level is set for a range of these entities using the associated attributes, which ensure data security. Benefits of authorization: Improves compliancy by allowing only responsible employees to update the master data. Improves the efficiency of the application by avoiding incorrect data to be used for transaction purpose (such as creating new transactions). Reduces expenses on stock control and administrative costs because less corrections are made. For business scenarios of authorizations, see Business Scenarios for authorizations.
