Definition

Here you can define the authorization level for the HR and FI Travel Management application components. You must determine whether the field is used together with:

Possible values if the field is used together with one of the four first objects (the values E, D and S may only be specified together with R):

  • M (read with entry helps)
  • R (read),
  • S (write locked record; unlock if the last person to change the record is not the current user),
  • E (write locked record),
  • D (change lock indicator),
  • W (write data records)
  • * (all operations).

Note:

Users with write authorization should always also have the relevant read authorization. In other words, the user should also have the correct authorizations for authorization level R together with each of the authorization levels E, D, and W.

The values E and D or S can be used to implement the double verification principle.

Possible values for HR: Cluster are:

  • R (read),
  • U (write to the database; this includes exporting the data to a buffer but not reading the data)
  • S (export data to a buffer; the database is not updated. You can use this value to simulate a payroll accounting run. Payroll results are determined but not stored on the database).

Possible values for HR: Statements are:

  • E (single record entry)
  • S (fast entry)
  • A (display when printing statements)
  • D (print statement)
  • L (delete statement)

Possible values for FI Travel Management are:

  • R (read),
  • W (maintain data)
  • A (release)
  • B (reserve in Amadeus reservation system)
  • C (reserve released trips in Amadeus reservation system)
  • Q (create trip template)
  • * (all operations).

You can only enter the values 'W', 'A', 'B' and 'C' in connection with 'R' and the value 'Q' only in connection with 'R' and 'W'.

For more information on the values in connection with FI Travel Management, see SAP Library under Financials -> Financial Accounting -> Travel Management -> Travel Planning -> Authorization Checks in Travel Planning.
