In this IMG activity you define authorizations for the authorization objects predefined by SAP if the standard authorizations do not meet your requirements.

The following authorization objects are defined for multiple transactions but are checked in the CO applications:

  • Table maintenance through standard tools            (S_TABU_DIS)

    Protects table entries per authorization group.

    In Cost Center Accounting and Cost and Revenue Element Accounting, the authorization objects are:

    • KCOR (General Cost Accounting)
    • KCS (Cost Centers)

      Cost Center Accounting includes:

    • K001 (CO Master Data)

      The standard authorizations Z_CUSCO01 (Maintain) and Z_CUSCO02 (Display) include all authorization groups needed for CO Customizing.

      In particular, version maintenance and planner profile definition are protected by authorization object S_TABU_DIS.

  • Number range maintenance                            (S_NUMBER)

    Protects maintenance of number ranges.

Authorization objects covering multiple applications are found in the object class "Basis - Administration".

The CO application authorization objects are found under:
