Hello,
Does anyone know how I can hide the button "Period Structure" (button showing a "calendar" icon which allows to change the time bucket profile) in the planning book screen (not all of our users should be allowed to use it)? We are on SCM 5.0. Is there any user-exit, user parameter, authorization object which can be used?
Thank you.

Did you try restriction on time bucket profile per se ? Object C_APO_FUN and function S_TIMEB. So although the button will be available, they will not be able switch to other time bucket profiles other than the ones in data views.

The goal is that our users should not be allowed to change the period structure because for some of our planning books e.g. it only makes sense to have a 12 month (12 buckets) timeline. If e.g. a 1 year (1 bucket) timeline can be chosen and the data is changed this may have adverse effects on the monthly data. Hence, easiest would be to hide the button or to use authorizations to avoid unwanted changes.

well, if users change it to yearly bucket and change the data - the data will get disaggregated in the same fashion as the existing numbers. There could only be complexities (however explainable) if there is some locked data in monthly buckets. Can you be specific exactly what are the adverse effects you are expecting ?
The disaggregation is exactly the issue - we do not want users to enter one number on year-level to have it disaggregated on monthly buckets in the background. Hence, only input on month-level should be allowed. We have just upgraded from SCM 4.0 where this was no issue because the useres were unable to change the period structure themselves. In SCM 5.0 they now can change it which we want to avoid.
Also, we have some planning books where the user should only see and manage data on a daily level where an aggregated number on a month-level has no meaning (and again the disaggregation "danger").

Hi again,
I finally solved the issue by using same BADI but other Function: USER_FCODES_CALCULATIONS. Here you can re-set the function code, thereby disabling the functionality of the button (depending on your own logic, e.g. user group):
IF cv_fcode = 'MSDP_TIME_PERIO_SET'.
cv_fcode = ''.
ENDIF.
Thanks to everyone for the input.
