AUTHORISATION ISSUE : MATERIAL TYPE OBJECT (M_MATE_MAR) NOT CHECKED IN MM01

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I created a role with t-code MM01 (Material Master Creation).

I would like to restrict the Material type to HALB alone (Object=M_MATE_MAR, Value =HALB)

when I assigned this role alone to an user.the object is not getting checked and its allowing the user to create other than the specified material type.

Can u guide me how to proceed further.

Hello Vijay,

May be the user has extra authorizations for M_MATE_MAR through some other role. Please check that.

Hi Ruchit Khushu.

i assigned this only one role alone.

Hello Vijaya,

In that case please try to run authorization check using ST01.

Hello Vijaya,

I got it probably. First of all the check in M_MATE_MAR is not for material type but instead is for authorization group. This is what standard documentation says:

Definition

Material type authorization for material master records

This object determines whether a user is authorized to maintain the material master record for a specific material type.

Defined Fields

Fields Possible values Meaning

ACTVT 01 User may create data.

02 User may change data.

03 User may display data.

06 User may flag data for deletion.

BEGRU Here you must specify the

authorization groups from table

T134 for which the materials

concerned may be processed.

Regards.

HI RUCHIT,

IN ST01, I CHECKED WITH TRACE

BUT UNFORTUNATELY THIS OBJECT IS NOT GETTING TRACED.

Hi All,

Finally after a very long struggle I got a solution.

This control we need to configure in material type itself.

In transaction OMS2 against each material type we need to maintain separate authorisation group.

In the role against the object M_MATE_MAR we need to maintain the respective authorisation group values to restrict.
