Block all postings

Hi

My client has a requirement where they wants to prevent everyone except certain key personnel from posting anything in the system for 2 days each month.

Could anyone tell me how this can be done?

thanks

Hi

You can use the authorisation group in the OB52 screen. This object needs to be configured for the respective users. They will be the only people able to access the periods mentioned in the OB52 screen. However others will not be able to post to the closed periods (per.2 in the screen).

Please read the help on this field :

Authorization Group

The authorization group allows extended authorization protection for particular objects. The authorization groups are freely definable. The authorization groups usually occur in authorization objects together with an activity.

Use

A posting period can be made available to only a limited set of users using the authorization group.

Procedure

If only a limited set of users is to be able to post in a particular posting period, proceed as follows:

Add the posting period authorization (authorization object F_BKPF_BUP) to the authorizations of the selected users. Assign an authorization group (e.g. '0001').

Enter the account type '' for the posting period variant to which the restriction is to apply. Enter the period(s) whose use is to be restricted in the first period, those which are available to all users in the second period, and the authorization group (e.g. '0001') in the last column.+

Examples

A posting period can be successively restricted. If, e.g. 10 users have the posting period authorization with authorization group '0001', and 3 of these 10 users also with authorization group '0002'.

If the period is only to be accessible to the 10 selected users the authorization group '0001' is entered in the posting period variant. Access can later be restricted to the remaining 3 users by entering '0002'.

Hope it was of help.

Thanks for the reply,

Is there any way to make this time dependant and automatic, that is always gets enforced on the last 2 working days of the week, and gets removed after that?

You can have a background job to run on a particular date. The period closing can be done using that option. Once that is done there will not be any user intervention. For closing the second period with authorisations also you could have another job run after the extended period is over...

Hi,

Restrict posting by Authorization( users):

In Posting period(OB52) Blank Authorization grups means Authrization is not maintained for the posting period.

the authorisation grouping code maintaied in user profile

(T Code: SU01- Display user) , give user name and click on disply. click on profiles tab. there you can find.

If you want to use this authorization, proceed as follows:

Specify an authorization group for the allowed posting periods which are to be protected.

Define the authorization which you want to assign to selected employees by listing the authorization groups allowed.

Assign this authorization using the corresponding profile.

(authorization object F_BKPF_BUP)

or contact basis person for help.

Hope this will help you.
