BRF Plus Routing

SAP GRC 10 Training BRF Plus

 

The SAP Predefined approvers like GRAC_MANAGER will use the user entered in the manager box for approval. This could lead to user getting approved by person who is not his or her supervisor. Instead of that you can use a BRF Plus agent rule and route the request to specific person then the end user cannot ask his buddy to approve the request.  The Predefined agent GRAC_ROLEOWNER and GRAC_SECURITY are safer as they go to predetermined owners.
