Confidential fields not hidden/encrypted

[Former Member]

DEAR SAP GURUS ,

With SAP PPS we can unable users to access certain data before an RFx

opening (e.g: supplier quote, field price of RFx response).

Despite this, the user admin can use a standard transaction to access

this confidential information before the RFx opening (e.g transaction

BBP_PD for object type BUS2202)

Anyone knows a solution that hides this data on SRM for any user before the RFx

opening?

Thank you very much on advance,

Transaction BBP_PD reads from DB tables and presents the result to the user. The original purpose of this transaction was to support the SRM system by technical personnels. There is no built in data encyption capability offered by SRM, so as long as someone is able to access the Database, he/she could see the data. One workaround I could think of is to restrict the user access to the DB related transactions, e.g. BBP_PD, SE16, etc. through user profile/authorization/role establishment.
