Dear All,
I want to add the field "PERSA" (personal area in HCM) as a new organizational level for authorization design.
I have run the report PFCG_ORGFIELD_CREATE to add this field. And no error appears.
After that , the value for that field in the authorization object comes to $PERSA. But I can not find this field from organizational level maintainance table.
Please help.

Hi Jay,
Did you add PERSA in tables USVAR & USORG. After adding please run PFCG_ORGFIELD_CREATE
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Ravikanth,
It works now. Thank you very much.
BTW, since USVAR & USORG are standard sap table. Will those change be overwritten during the system upgrading?

That's strange as report PFCG_ORGFIELD_CREATE (and PFCG_ORGFIELD_DELETE) already deal with tables USORG and USVAR (including transport integration). It shouldn't be neccessary to create the table entries manually.
Concerning upgrades: Report PFCG_ORGFIELD_UPGRADE should be used after an upgrade to adjust the new authorization proposals according to the custom org fields.
Kind regards

Thanks Frank, This might be the reason.
The system is set up since 2004, and we are doing the upgrade right now.

Hi Frank,
it is very common that upgrade steps are completely ignored.
In the past there were some XPRA eventy for SU25, but now about 80% of customers click the popup in PFCG away each time or run set 1 again and anyway use "edit old status" mode (increasing trend - but that might also be biased as i seem to be attracting big messes which need fixing).
An installation and upgrade like a mobile app with some optional settings is becoming more popular it seems.. 🙂
Cheers,
Julius

In my experience the use of "edit old status" is one of the key indicators of an immediate or soon-to-be fix being required...

Hi, Frank.
We've had the some trouble recently and I paid my attention to the fact that the table USVART is language dependent. If a data element is a custom one (z*) and was created inaccurately, then there could be some troubles while using standard program PFCG_ORGFIELD_CREATE as it won't be able to add a field to USVAR & USVART.
We've solved our problem by recreating data element.
