In addition to the standard SAP authorization functions, the Asset Accounting component provides the asset view, which offers additional authorization protection. The "asset view" authorization object (A_A_VIEW) controls master data maintenance to a certain extent. You can use this object to assign users limited views of asset data and asset values.

For each asset view, you can specify the field groups that can be maintained from this view, are displayed only, or are suppressed. You also specify the field groups for which the user is only allowed to enter default values.

Example

Requirements

Standard settings

The system can work with a maximum of 8 asset views. You can change these asset views, but you cannot delete them or add new asset views.

To create asset master records you need at least one asset view. You have to use standard view 1 (asset accounting) in order to be able to create complete asset master records.

Recommendation

You should use the standard SAP asset views. In that case, you do not have to carry out any activities here.

Activities

  1. Choose "Asset view" and check the descriptions supplied by SAP. If necessary, change the descriptions so they conform to your internal organization. Select the asset view with which you want to work.
  2. Choose "Authorization for master data fields". Specify which field groups in the selected asset view can be edited, displayed or maintained.

    Note: You can select several field groups at the same time and assign them the same authorization using the "Set authorization" pushbutton (in group box "Set authorization for selected entries").

  3. Choose "Authorization for depreciation areas". For each depreciation area, specify which authorizations apply in the selected asset view.

    Note: In the standard system, all depreciation areas can be maintained with asset view 1 (asset accounting).
