Documentation

Definition

Dynamic field (that can be filled using formulas) for authorization check for elements of the Costing Solutions.

Use

The field is used to make values available for authorization field AUTH_GROUP of the authorization object R_COSTING.

You can use it when defining a structure for a data basis as a field of a type definition. You can then fill the field with values using formulas at runtime. In this way it is possible to assign dynamic authorizations to the elements of a data basis (for example, objects).

Dependencies

Example

You create the following formula for an object, in the definition of which the authorization field is contained:

Object.Authorization Field = Controlling Area

You also define an authorization with AUTH_GROUP = ControllingArea using authorization object R_COSTING.

Result: Users whose authorization profile does not contain the authorization for the controlling area in question, cannot change objects of this controlling area.

Other examples can be formed, for example: Authorization Field= Plant
