Tcode : va05

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

Two users used tcode va05 and downloaded the data.

Amount of money of downloaded data was different.

I check both are executing tcode va05 in similar way. same filters are used for sales doc type. but still there is difference in amount.

can you please tell why this must be happening?

Thank you,

Neelam.

Hi Neelam/Prashant,

Same report shows different data but main thing is different users

So you need to check/compare below points

1) Two different users parameters to run report

2) Layout

3) Filtration in layout

4) Variant

5) If above all points are same so you have to thoroughly check rights

Hello Prashant,

Both users are not using any variant to execute tcode va05. Both users are having differnt roles for va05 , does this impact for gettng different net amount? Can you please explain what does you mean by criteria of both users. below are screenshots of both users excel sheet.

Thank you,

Neelam.

Hello Neelam,

Then it seems it could be due to authorization. I have face the same in past. Plz check your security/basis team whether both user have same authorization or not .

Thanks,

Hi Neelam

You have check following points for both users.

1. Check the authorization object for users i.e. run the transaction SU53 after running the report on both      users machine. Authorization can be restricted at sales organization or plant level.

2. You are downloading SAP report to excel file for that you have to check SAP GUI version installed on      both users machine.

3. Check also selection parameter and variant if any configured.

You're saying they "downloaded" the data. Is there any reason you can't just take the resulting files from both users, put them into Excel and then do analysis at line-item level? VLOOKUP with some simple formulas should pinpoint the problem. Is the number of records different? Is the amount different on all lines? On some lines?

Also this has been open for a few weeks already with no follow-up. If it's already resolved then kindly close the discussion.

Compare Authorization Objects

V_VBAK_AAT

V_VBAK_VKO

of involved users.

[michael_kozlowski]

Did you already compared the authorization objects as suggested? You can also consider to set up authorization trace trx ST01.

Dear Michael ,

Both users do not have access to se11 tcode , soo cannot check authorization objects.

Thank you,

Neelam.

The easiest way to find out, if it's an authorization issue is to set up an authorization trace trx ST01 for each user. If you are not authorized for ST01 asks the basis/security team to do so.
