Userid changes and its implications

[Former Member]

In our organization, there are situations where userid for a given user needs to be changed. Some of the reasons why the userid is changed is

Marriage, Name change, Divorce etc.

In SRM how do we handle this situation and what are the implications

a) What happens to the shopping carts created by the old userid. Is it possible for them to be associated with new userid

b) What if the shopping cart is in workflow and gets approved. Does it start appearing in the old userid or new userid

c) What if the old userid is the approver for workflow of shopping carts. Will these SCs appear when the user logs in w/ new userid

I am assuming there are no impacts on the Sourcing cockpit or Purchase Order processing.

How is this change handled? Any easy way without deleting the SCs and re-creating the same SCs under new id?

Hi,

Why not keeping the original userID and changing name and last name in SU01 ?

Kind regards,

Yann,

You are right but I guess the company policy allows them to change it. Sometimes people are passionate about what their userid should be. In any case do you have any solution that can help solve this issue.

As usual help from this forum is always appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

As far as i know there is no easy and standard way to do it.

You will have to update tables or documents where the old userID was...
