Split BPS and Management Reporting Authorizations in BI 7

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are implementing SAP BI7 with Management Reporting (old speak BW), BPS (Planning) and BCS (Consolidations). For management reports users will have access to a range of cost centres but for BPS we need to restrcit the user to plan on only one of the cost centres.

As per normal cost centre is a characteristic marked as authorisation relevant. We have created authorisations in RSECADMIN providing access to these cost centres. In BPS we have created an authorisation relevant variable which pulls the cost centre value from the users' authorisation. The problem is that since the user has access to a large number of cost centres which are in the authorisation created in RSECADMIN, the user is able to plan on all these cost centres and not just a limited number of cost centres.

Does anybody know how we can split the access between BPS and Management Reporting. Is their way to implement a limitation on the users' BPS restriction?

Hi,

you can try to use the following authorization object to restrict the functionnality of BPS::

Planning - Planning Area R_AREA

Planning - Global Planning Sequence R_BUNDLE

Planning - Currency Translation Settings R_CT_SET

Planning - Planning Function R_METHOD

Planning - Planning Package R_PACKAGE

Planning - Parameter Group R_PARAM

Planning - Planning Level R_PLEVEL

Planning - Planning Folder R_PM_NAME

Planning - Planning Profile R_PROFILE

Planning: Customizing for Status and Tracking R_STS_CUST

Planning: Authorization for Planning Session and Subplan R_STS_PT

Or/ and you can try to restrict user to plan by the Key figures or the version of the data.

Hope it help's

Hi,

We answered this in Analysis Authorization by creating two different authorizations. One with 03 Activity for the info provider and cost entrees the user needs to report on and another with 02 activity (not 03) on the planning cost entrees.
