APO Security /SAPAPO/MC8E

[asheeshkaul_molex]

Hi Everyone,

We have a requirement to disable the ability of a User to Choose "Select All "  while executing the transaction /SAPAPO/MC8E in SAP APO

The transaction is used for changing planning jobs that are created in /SAPAPO/MC8D

Transaction /SAPAPO/MC8E allows the user to select one /multiple or all of variants

If a user accidentally selects Select All, it selects all the variants /data to be updated, which should never be allowed according to our requirements

We are on SAPSCM 7.0- SP Level 007

The only authorization check that seems to be invoked during execution based ion the trace is

C_APO_FUN

AUTH            C_APO_FUN  RC=12 APO_FUNC=C_ACTIVITY;APO_PAREA=FN_SALES_PLAN;type=TR;name=/SAPAPO/MC8E

I was wondering if this feature can be secured through standard security

I could only find a note relating to this issue which involves a User exist 400434 - Authorizations in APO demand planning

Hello Asheesh,

Documentation of the badi clearly explains that you can use this to hide select all option.

Implement the badi /SAPAPO/SDP_BATCH in SE18 with below code in FILTER_SELECTIONS method, set the below parameter to X to switch off the select all option.

cv_select_all_off = 'X'.

Refer to the example implementation class /SAPAPO/CL_EXM_IM_SDP_BATCH.

Regards,

TP

Hi Asheesh,

Maybe you can control what you want through a BAdI. Check BADI: /SAPAPO/SDP_BATCH, try with these methods:

• FILTER_SELECTIONS      -->      Filter Selections for DP Background Jobs
• SET_USE_ALL_SEL_COND      -->     Set option to use all selection conditions
• SET_FCST_PROF_SELECTION      -->     Change  selection for forecast profile determination

Kind Regards,

Hi Asheesh,

You can create a background job with the program /SAPAPO/TS_BATCH_RUN. Sm37 or process chain to trigger this.
