"Separate the duties to enter and release expenditure batches" checkbox missing
Content
I recently started a new Project Management implementation and noticed that in the Setup and Maintenance task "Configure Project Accounting Business Function" for Project Financial Management, the checkbox "Separate the duties to enter and release expenditure batches" was missing.
The reason for this, which doesn't appear to be documented, is that the feature “Review and Approve Expenditure Batches Before Creating Project Costs” was enabled (this is the default setting for a new instance, meaning it will be enabled/opted-into in new environments automatically).
The process that uses the 'Separation of Duties Flag' is mutually exclusive with this feature, and this is the reason why this field is not visible when the 'Approval' feature is enabled, which makes perfect sense.
