Authorization control- WBS specific

[Former Member]

Hi Experts

My client handles major projects.

Each WBS is owned by a management personnel like:

DGM Mehanical: Mechanical activities

DGM Electrical: Electrical engg activities

DGM Civil: Civil engg activities

Like wise various other responsible teams handle each work package (WBS).

In this context, can we ensure authorization control WBS wise?

It means, the WBS owned by Mech DGM should be editble to him only, and rest users should not be allowed for editing the sub objects of Mech WBS?

Or, if this can be managed using user status, please suggest how the required functionality can be achieved.

warm regards

Hi,

You can use Person Resposible field in the WBS master data for the purpose.

In T-code OPS6 you enter Person Responbile , Name , Office User.

Create Three roles , DGM Civil (12), DGM Elec (13) , DGM Mech (14).

For Authorization object C_PRPS_VNR enter for field PS_VERNR = 12 and PS_ACTVT = 01,02 & 03 for DGM Civil Role.

Similarly for other roles.

Key in 12 in person responsible field of the WBS belongs to DGM Civil.

Assign DGM Civil role to DGM Civil user.

Then he can only edit and ret can only view.

Option 2 :

You can also use Project Type.

Object = C_PRPS_ART

Create three project types Civil, Elec, Mec . In respective WBS select the project type as desired and assign that project type to the concerned role.

You can take help of Basis consultant for clear understanding.

Hi

You can also look at the possibility of assigning different authorization in each WBS element which are achieved using the following:

Responsible cost centers, Plant, partner roles and project type and also setting project teams for each WBS element. For this might have to use z-authorization objects.

Hope the above helps.

You can make use of person responsible field in WBSE. person responsible is a standard authorisation object , auth object C_PRPS_VNR

Thank you for quick answer.

Ok, while creating a project object WBS, how it controls?

Ex , if i wish to enter responsble person, will it stop creation of WBS?

with person responsibe it only applies after creation and entry of person resp - is good for change or display

I would also recommend use of exit CNEX0002
