SAP APO roles and authorizations

[Former Member]

Hi,

There is a brand new APO-DP, SNP system being configured at my client for SCM 5.0. I need information on the kinds of roles we need and the security objects involved.

I have searched this forum and so far, the information I could get is the following:

Generally there would be a Developer, Super User, end user, APO-ADMIN and a test user.

The authorization in SCM is by either planning book or by selection profiles and not both.

I found some information on <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/21/f6253b90e48743e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm">Authorization in Supply Network and Demand Planning</a>

I would appreciate if anybody can give me more information or refer to any link/documents. My id is visu_venkat AT yahoo.com

Thanks.

Have you had a look at note 400434 - Authorizations in APO demand planning

Conceptually, as in the other systems, Your authorizations are linked to roles (that your mentioned) and your roles are linked to users.
