For result and market segment accounting, you can define planning authorization objects, the information system, and item-based reports of the information system. In the customising (transaction SPRO), you create them via the following path and then select the corresponding section. Controlling > Income and market segment calculation > Tools > Permissions management > CO-PA specific eligibility objects.

From the result of the statistical usage data, you can see which transactions (ENTRY_ID) were used, how often (COUNTER), and how many different users. There are various indications from this information. For example, transactions that were used only once by a user within 12 months could indicate a very privileged user, or inadvertently invoking a transaction for which a user has permissions. The future assignment of such transactions in the SAP role concept should then be critically questioned. In contrast, you should consider transactions with a high level of usage and a large user circle (e.g. with more than ten users) in an SAP role concept.
Existing permissions
A prerequisite for the indirect assignment of PFCG roles is a well-maintained organisational model. This may correspond to a line organisation consisting of organisational units to which posts are assigned. Use an organisation chart to visualise the employee structure of the company or department for which you are to assign roles. Assign to the posts the people to whom a user is assigned as an attribute. In addition, you can also include other objects from HR organisation management, such as the posts describing the post and assigning roles.

In an SAP® system, authorizations are not the only focus of the auditor. Essential system parameters are also part of the audit. For this reason, it should also be ensured in advance that all parameters are set up in accordance with the company's specifications. The parameters concerned are all those that ensure system and client security. Among other things, it must be ensured that the production system is protected against any kind of changes and therefore no direct development is possible.

"Shortcut for SAP systems" is a tool that enables the assignment of authorizations even if the IdM system fails.

Understanding the structure and functioning of the system is especially important for IT administration. It is not for nothing that "SAP Basis Administrator" is a separate professional field. On the page www.sap-corner.de you will find useful information on this topic.


When you switch from the Role menu to the Permissions tab, you will generate startup permissions for all applications on the Role menu and display default permissions from the permissions suggestions.

So much information... how can you keep it so that you can find it again when you need it? Scribble Papers is a "note box" that makes this very easy.
