Hi,

S_TCODE is the first level of Check for execution of any transaction.

Lets say you want to execute the Tcode PFCG then you must have S_TCODE containing PFCG as a value to successfully enter the Tcode. This object makes sure that you are only entering the tcodes which you are authorized too.

When you manually add the S_TCODE in the role then you are creating a backdoor door. Now a person can enter into tcodes which might not be present in the Role menu but are present in the S_TCODE Manually added instance. So its best practice to make sure never to add manually a S_TCODE object as far as possible.

Hi,

Each transaction code must have S_TCODE authorization object.

Because when you type any T-code in commanad field this authorization object will trigger first.

Manually added is not recommanded.

i think it will help u

Hi

Definition

Whenever a transaction is started, the kernel uses the transaction code as the value to check against the authorization object. This check always takes place (from Rel. 3.0E) and cannot be deactivated by the developer.

Defined fields

TCD: Transaction code

I hope this is clear
