Abstract
Today many companies use an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system such as SAP R/3~to run their daily business ranging from financial issues down to the actual control of a production line. Already due to their sheer size, these systems are very complex. In particular, developing and maintaining the authorization setup is a challenge. The goal of our effort is to automatically analyze the authorization setup of an SAP R/3~system against business policies. To this end we formalize the processes, authorization setup as well as the business policies in first-order logic. Then, properties can be (dis)proven fully automatically with our theorem prover \textsc{Spass}. We exemplify our approach on the purchase process, a typical constituent of any SAP R/3~installation.
