Restrict Profit Centre Wise Reports By Authorisation

[Former Member]

Hi All

We want to restrict the profit center wise reports through authorization. Can any body will help us in which object we will restrict the authorization.

We are in ECC 6.00 and profit center reports is part of FI module with document splitting.

Thanks

Hi Amita,

It depends on the TCode you are using and the Authorization it checks. Can you please let us know the TCode?

Hi

Transaction code in which we want authorisation is GRR3 reports. This transaction is related to report painter. Can we restrict the same on report painter.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

This transaction doesn't have the provision to restrict on profit centers.However, you can restrict on authroization groups in objects G_800_GRP, G_801K_GLB and G_803J_GJB.

Hi Amita,

Have a look at (composite) OSS note 353697, it's possible to implement additional restrictions on report painter reports. In the past I have used it for PCA & CCA checks.

Hi,

Our exact requiremnet is like this.

In GRR3 report user enters a profit centre.While executing the report it should check whether the user is authorised for the profit centre,if yes it should display the report else it should give error.

Hi Alex

Can you give little bit details about the implementation what you have implemented.

Thanks in advance

Hi Amita,

You will find the information you need by looking through the OSS notes I have listed there. You can also search OSS for terms "Report Painter" and "Authorization" and you will get all the information you need. I don't have time to write step by step instructions for this, it is something a developer should be able to work out pretty quickly.

Three objects can restrict usage of profit centres and cost centres.

1)K_CCA

2)K_PCA

3)K_ORDER

But to make it workable as per your requirement you need to make sure the concerned t code is pulling these objects in SU24 checked and maintain status .If not then you need to make them C&M through SU24.

For values in those objects you will get from business or functional consultants..

Let me know if it helps.

Hi Aveek,

For report painter/writer there is additional work which you need to perform to switch on additional checks, changing the SU24 values for these will not work unless you implement the changes.

Hi Amita,

Aveeek is right. The same objects can be used for Profit center restriction.

But you may need to rely on validation as by SAP standard there is no restriction at profit center level.

Since you are on ECC 6.0, you can achieve this by implementing EHP3.

With EHP3 we can enable profit center restriction globally.

Hi Rama,

Do you have more information on "EHP3"? What exactly is it?

Cheers
