'Hold Data' option not visible in F-03

[Former Member]

One of the users in my organization has the 'System' - 'User Profile' - 'Hold data' menu option greyed out within transaction F-03 where users with similar authorizations do have that option available.  An authorization trace on activities of one user who is able to use this menu option showed no authorization checks specific to this 'Hold data' activity.  The trace only showed checks on object S_TCODE and F_BKPF_BUK.

Has anyone else come across this?  We're running EHP6 for SAP ERP 6.0, basis release 731.

The 'hold data' functionality has been enabled for the screen, and for most users it works.  There is one user however for whom it is greyed out within the F-03 posting.

As long as she's on the start screen, the functionality is availble.  When she goes into the posting and wants to hold e.g. the cost center data the 'hold data' functionality is greyed out.  For her direct colleague who runs the same process on the same document, the 'hold data' functionality is available.

Could this be due to some user specific setting?

Please set a breakpoint in include MF05AO00_STATUS_SETZEN_U to compare users.

if  akt-typ        = 'H'

  and f05actrl-xrfpo = space.

    set hold data on.

  else.

    set hold data off.

  endif.

Issue turned out to be process driven.  When the user enters an amount in her posting, the hold data functionality is disabled.  When she fills the other fields but no amount, hold data can be used.

Thank you all for your input!
