Secure by Business area in SD documents

Former Member

Hello,

We are using in FI, Business area, and now we are required to secure some SD transaction by Business Area : VF01, VF02, VF04, VFX3, VF06, VF11.

I have seen that maybe it's possible top populate GSBER field in VBRK and VBAK tables.

But I have found nothing else than specific development to code authority-check controls.

Does anyone did implement such requirement and how. Is there a standard solution or only custom ?

Thanks for your support

Philippe

The question is whether the underlying code relating to these transactions includes an authority-check statement against GSBER. You could start by checking SU24 for each individual transaction to see if there is a SAP delivered or customer-updated relationship between the tcodes and an authorization object containig the GSBER field. This method could take some time and is not fool-proof as the relationships spelled out in SU24 are not necessarily indicative of the authorization checks made. The more expedient approach would be to run a ST01 authorization trace against the execution of these transactions and review the log for a check against GSBER. If you do not find an authorization check, a custom solution is in your future.
