Info message

Hi All,

We see this info message for functional consultants.

Say there are four company codes like 1000,2000,3000,4000 and I have restricted user A with values related to company codes 1000,2000 .. It all worked but main thing when they execute tcode VKM1, they see info message as 

"No authorization for maintaining cred.limit used for cust.: Docs.ignored" I checked su53 and found that the auth check is looking if the user has access to other Company codes say 3000,4000.

How to overcome this? Why should there be a check for other company codes?

Thanks,

Can you give them 3000 and 4000 in display mode only?  Or does that give them inappropriate Info.

Hi Unmudi,

We can suggest the consultant to run the transaction VKM1 based on Company code. The selection is available in the "Credit Account" which can be selected based on company code.

In case, the support team needs full access to all company codes, that can be provided in display mode as suggested by Neal. The similar problem occurs in many of the FI transactions as well for end users.

The warning message will not popup if the user selects the Credit accounts based on the company code as suggested above for which he/she has the authorization.

By Default, it checks for all the company codes as there was no selection criteria given at company code level in the initial selection screen.

Note: The information message displayed is only a warning message that the records are skipped for which the user doesnot have authorization for specific company codes.

Hi Ravi,

Ya, Company codes are restricted in roles according to company codes, what I felt was, may be other fields should also be restricted ..(like Purchasing group, Purchasing Organization, ...so on). Sp, if in case a user executes tcode VKM1, it wil extract only the related company code information and will not check if the user has authorization to other company codes.

Well, restriction is fine but is there any way, where we could stop this warning message?

Hi,

You can check with your ABAPer to bypass the warning message displayed. This may probably require an SAP Key.

Hi Unmudi

Before you start taking on recommendation to enhance SAP standard, can you please share what your selection criteria is for when you run this report.

As already mentioned by others the warning message is just that - a warning. It is advises the users that based on all of their selection criteria entries have been suppressed due to lack of authorisations. If the user specified a different selection criteria they may not receive the warning message.

To disable the warning message would risk erroneous interpretation of the results as the user may think they are seeing the full results for their selection criteria. If this was a SAP BI system the user would receive a no authorisations (all or nothing approach taken to avoid incorrect interpretation) and they user would need to then refine their selection criteria.

Hi Colleen,

Yah, thinking it might a risky step, I didn't take further steps to disable the warning message. Yes, I was aware that BI system would receive a no auth prompt. Ours is not a BI sys.
