Hi

I have a similar problem but we would like to have multiple authorization groups for one variant. It seems that there is only one authorization group by variant. Any idea to solve my problem ?

HI Kuldeep Singh

You can use open posting period specific for users

in t code OB52, enter authorization group in the column.

in authorization group u have to maintain user wise authorization

Hi

You can assign the User for the Authorisation Group object () to User A as"0001" and user B as "0002".

Assign the same in OB52 under Auth Grp as 0001 & keep the periods 6 & 7 in first period interval & only 7 in second period interval.

So that your requirement is fulfilled.

Hope this solves your issue

Hi

suppose that authorization group for user A is A and authorization group for user B is B.

Variant(posting period variant) , Account type , From Period1(6) , Year(2008) , To Period1(6) , Year(2008) , From Period2(7) , Year(2008) , To Period(7) , Authorization Group(A)

This means that periods 6 and 7 are accessible to Authorization group A and Period 7 is accessible to rest of the authorization groups ie User B as for you.

This will solve your issue.

Hi Venkat,

Could you please explain me what entry should i mantain in ob52 for B user.

regards

[Former Member]

Hi

There is no need of maintaining for User B , that setting i told you will imply that for User A both periods 6 and 7 are accessible. Except User A , all the remaining Users are accessible to only period 7.

Hence for you User B will be accessible for period 7 only.

Hi venkat,

we have around 100 users

1.we want to open current period for around 95 users for all account type

2. and 5 user are super users for these we want to open current + previous period for all account type

this is our actual requirement.

Thanks

[Former Member]

Hi

You are having 100 user's.

5 users are super user's,for these you want to open current + previous period.

Create Authorization group(SUP) for your 5 super user's and leave the remaining user's as usual.

Current period is 9 and previous is 8.

under Variant give the Posting Period Variant

under Account type give +

under From Period1 give 8 and under Year give 2008

under To Period1 give 8 and under Year give 2008

under From Period2 give 9 and under Year give 2008

under To Period2 give 9

under Authorization Group give SUP

Super user's Authorization group SUP can access periods 8 and 9 and the rest 95 User's can access only period 9.

This will solve your issue.

hi venkat,

could you please tell me the T.code for creating authorisation group or i should directly put in the ob52 table and which authorisation object should i select.

regards

[Former Member]

Hi venkat

I have done following settings

variant 5544, accout type +, period 1 (8), 2008, 8, 2008, 9, 2008, 9, 2008, authorisati group0001

and the above said group is linked to the super user, this is allowing the super users to post in 8th and 9th period. but when i am posting with other user in that case also this is allowing to post in both the periods , but this should not be the case. i want to allow other user only for 9th period.

[Former Member]

Hi ,

venkata is it really working... but why not in our scenario.

[Former Member]

You can open periods specific for Users.

In T-code OB52, enter authorization group in the column.

For creating authorization group please follow as below:-

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.

Try this it should work

Kuldeep Singh

Hi,

Company code wise restriction is actually not possible. The auth object mentioned in the previous reply will hold good for user level restriction only.

hi,

i dont think is possible to open & close posting user wise.

psoting periods can be opened and closed on ther terms of account and at user level
