Need an approver level security group to approve Costs in Cost Administration's Cost wizard
Under Real Property/Costs/Cost Administrator/Costs Wizard - Leases, Buildings, and Properties
Most folks have an approval workflow where certain costs like maintenance costs associated to a lease or a project cost associated to a lease have to be approved. While his view allows folks to edit, view and approve recurring, scheduled and actual costs but then once you get into this view, there's no special security groups required here.
It would make sense that there is a approval level security group that can approve the scheduled costs. That way the others who have access to this report are there to just help make sure the costs are correct.

I strongly agree with Priti. We have implemented this along with other improvements, such as being able to add Scheduled costs without first filtering to one lease at a time, filtering to one month, and bundling into a batch for approval and sending to finance.

I would add to this idea and take it a step further. Due to segregation of duties the person that prepares the cost transactions for payment cannot be the one approving them. There is a big need for a workflow in this area where the Scheduled cost transactions are prepared by one role (maybe even bundled into a bill or invoice) and submitted for approval to a separate role.
