In this step, you assign your profiles to individual systems.

The options you have for assigning profiles depend on the object type:

  • If field groups are defined for change authorizations for an object type, you can assign the profiles for different ALE systems to the field groups. Field groups are defined internally, so you cannot define your own (to include customer-specific fields, for example).
  • Field groups are defined for the following object types:
    • Material
    • Material BOM
    • Document structure
  • If change authorization can only be distributed for the entire object, you can define the change authorization either for the entire object or not at all.

Example

In the source system, status 05 (released) is defined as follows in Customizing for the material master, step Define material statuses:

  • The Distribution lock indicator is not selected
  • Profile: KFREI (released for engineering/design) is allocated

    This profile controls change authorization for the basic data of a material.

In the source system, you are processing a material that has a change authorization. If you set status 05 (released), then save your material all of the basic data of the material is distributed, including the status. From this point, you can no longer change the basic data of the material in the source system. The change authorization for the basic data has beentransferred to the target system.

Requirements

Profiles exist for the object types.

The logical systems on which the data is distributed are define in step Define logical system.

Activities

To assign the change authorization for certain field groups to a profile:

  1. Enter the object type of the objects that you want to distribute (for example, material master = business object BUS1001).
  2. Enter the profile name that you want to control the change authorization (for example, MAT01). The system finds the description that was defined in step "Define profile names for change authorization".
  3. Enter a counter.

    If several change authorizations exist for an object type, the counter distinguished between them.

    The counter (together with the object type and profile name) is defined as a key field. This means that you must enter a profile, even if you only want to assign one profile for one object type to a system.

  4. Select the logical system to which you want to assign change authorization.
  5. Enter the field group.

    The object type determines what you can enter here:

    For objects that can only be distributed in their entirety, you can define one of the following settings for the system you select:

    • No change authorization
    • Full change authorization

      For objects that have change authorization defined per field group, display the possible field groups and select one.

      Make an entry for each field group. To define change authorization for several field groups, repeat this procedure for each field group.

    • If change authorization is already defined for an object and profile, you see this in the list.
    • To display the fields in a field group, place the cursor on the field group you require and choose Field list.
    • If you want to define change authorization for all field groups, choose Select all in the possible entries dialog box. The system creates an entry for each field group. The system you are working in is the default.
  6. Confirm your entry for the field group. You see the description of the field groups.
  7. Save your entry.

Once you have done this, you can assign the field groups to different systems.
