Payables Security

Oracle Fusion Payables improves security by limiting access to invoices and payments by business unit. You can access invoices and payments for viewing or processing only for the business units to which you've permission. The permission must be explicitly granted to each user.

Assign users to the appropriate security context, such as a business unit, for job roles from the Manage Data Access for Users page.

Oracle Payables is integrated to the document repository for processing scanned invoices. To edit any invoices in the repository, you can create a custom role with the Edit Payables Invoice (AP_EDIT_PAYABLES_INVOICE_PRIV) or Create Payables Invoice (AP_CREATE_PAYABLES_INVOICE_PRIV) privileges.

Keeping up with the security requirements, the following predefined roles have view-only access to the document repository:

• Financial Application Administrator

• Cost Accountant

• Project Accountant

Note:

For further information, see the chapter Role Configuration Using the Security Console in the Securing ERP guide.

Why do I see a blank page on clicking View Invoice from Approval Notification?

A user must have these privileges to view an invoice by clicking the View Invoice button on the notification.

• View Payables Invoice
• Manage Payables Invoices
• Manage Payables Invoices Activities

If you've a custom user role, you might be missing these privileges, which results in the blank page being displayed.
