Is it possible to include more than one person/group at SMMJ_AUTHORIZE_PRE_IMPORT_MJ

[Former Member]

Hi Expert,

We currently configuring CHARM and wondering is it possible to include more than one person/group at SMMJ_AUTHORIZE_PRE_IMPORT_MJ?

The normal correction (SMMJ) that have "Confirm Successful Test" in the QA environment will request the change manager to review and approve the change "Release for Import" into production. Is it possible we add other person/group as change manager for that action?

Thanks

Best Regards

Hi Remy,

In ChaRM, authorization assigned in the role for particular status and action access.

for Action:SMMJ_AUTHORIZE_PRE_IMPORT_MJ, user status is E0014

So go to role for change manager and edit the Auth Key field of the B_USERSTAT auth object and enter E0014 for particualr action.

Once you assigned the role to the person or group, they able to access the action .

Hi Karthik,

Thanks for your reply, What we need is actually setting up a three level approval during the "Release for import" phase.

1st level will be IT Manager

2nd level will be Functional Business Owner

3th level will be Compliance

Do you think it is possible to do so?

Thanks

Hi Remy,

Create the two status for the IT Manager and Functional Business owner.

once the IT Manager and Functional Business owner approved, compliance team approve the status "Released for Import" .

Please check the below link for action creation.

But in Normal change status will not control the TR import, normally change mamanger change the phase from " Test" to " go-live", the Basis team schedule the PRD import in task list.

So design the workflow depond upon your requirement.

Hi Remy

I understand from your last reply what you want to achieve is basically a 3 level of approval before import and there are various option to achieve the same.

One easy and better way is to gain this by adding 3 new status and 3 new action which will be performed by 3 managers and setting up the approval

The advantage is you have to do less development as status is available in reporting by default.

Other way is to have multi approval procedure like RfC in Normal Correction which you need to check with developer and modify some SAP standard classes to achieve it.

I suggest go with option 1 here as you can easily do via customizing and easy

hope this clarifies and resolves

Happy to help

Hi,

As such in standard Charms it is not possible, but there can be some workaround for the same.

Option 1

In the business partner what you have created for Change manager maintain a group ID instead of individual ID. Hence all the members in that GRP will receive the mail through workflow for "release for import" and all the members in that group should have the authorization in Charms to do the same.

Option 2

Create  a new partner function and assign the same in the parties involved in the CR. In that partner function maintain a grp ID in the BP. Now you need to go for a custom development, where in u have to write some code in the program for triggering workflow mail also to the newly created partner functions when the status of the CR is "UAT successful" etc....
