Hi Chittaranjan,

If there is no standard authorisation object currently programmed in ME21 (program SAPMM06E) and ME21N (program RM_MEPO_GUI), I can see two options for you.

Using either a standard authorisation object or a new authorisation object of your own:

1) Change the standard code (not really recommended) and insert an AUTHORITY-CHECK statement against the chosen authorisation object.

2) Investigate the possibility of using a standard user exit (see transaction SMOD). It looks like various exit points are available for SAPMM06E but I don't know how suitable they may be. Check in SMOD for exit names beginning with MM06* and engage a functional analyst to help identify a suitable exit.
