SPRO-Logistic-General-Material Master-Settings for Key Fields-Data Relevant to Sales and Distribution_---Define Material Groups_

Please advise us

use authorization object S_TABU_DIS with authorization group VA. of course, this would allow that all tables of that group could be maintained. you might think about assigning those 4 tables (TVM1-TVM4) a different authorization group (ZA or YA). you can then decide whether you want them to do that using t-code SPRO or SM30.

keep in mind that those tables are normally attached to the transport system - this will mean 2 things for you:

access for the people doing the maintenace to your DEV-system and allowing for transport authorizations (recommended) OR

make these tables 'current settings' in your production system (not recommended).

I am not aware of any tx that directly goes to that config option - maybe someone in an MM fora may know...

If not then get an ABAPer to link custom transactions to views V_TVM1 - V_TVM5

Assign these transactions to roles along with auth object S_TABU_DIS with appropriate activity and Auth group VA

Another alternative is that yo may be able to include that customising node in a role - use the search for SPRO and there are a few posts with detailed instructions. Not sure if it will work in this case but worth a go?

how freaky - two consecutive answers to a quiet post

[Former Member]

freaky ... indeed.

[Former Member]

Freaky only because the answers are not identical

maybe so ... but merge them ...

[Former Member]

Can't find a "merge" button anywhere here. I don't think there is one. Sorry.

But I found transactions

- VMG1

- VMG2

- VMG3

- VMG4

- VMG5

quite easily

care to share how you found them?

I looked directly into the table TSTCP for the views which you found in the parameter string with wildcards around them. I didn't even bother to check that the view names were correct... 2 simultaneous but not identical answers with the same views must surely be correct...

Cheers and have a nice evening,

You have to love minisap's lack of decent func tcodes

[Former Member]

You 2 did the hard work though. I just took a shortcut at the end

I allow myself the liberty of being fair... (except I should have answered "I bought a big box of tricks and looked inside it"

Cheers,
