Assign posting periods to authorization group in tcode S_ARL_87003642

Hello,
I want to restrict posting periods for some users. Therefore, I have created 2 functions associated to 2 authorization groups.
In transaction S_ARL_87003642, when I try to assign different posting periods to each authorization group to the same company code (Posting Period Variant) it appears a message saying u2018Target key must be different from source keyu2019.
What am I doing wrong? Do you know how can I restrict posting periods for some users?
Thanks and regards
Ana Rita

Dear,
You simply have to define authorisation groups in OB52 and assign this group to F_bkpf_bup in SU01 against user proflie as desired. Take basis help.

Posting period variant authorization

Hi
We have a issue with posting period variant authorization. Say for example we have 4 company code and 4 posting period variants and we want to restrict one particular user should have authorization to open and close for one posting period variant only. Because mistake other company posting periods are getting opened. so as we have one posting period variant for one company, we want to restict one particular user responsible for one particular posting period variant not for all OB52 transaction code. Please advise how to achieve this.....

Opening of third Posting periods for authorizing group

Hi,
On the current posting periods screen we have two possibilities to enter current posting periods and the posting periods for the authorizing group in order to limit user access. Is it possible to create third posting period for authorizing group beside these two possibilities of entering two different posting periods?
Thanks

I know this process. But it is not my problem.
On the screen we have only two fields to mention "Period 1 and Period 2". My question is how we can create new field for Period 3 (for authorised groups).
I don't want to create new line, but I want to create new field. Please check the posting period table to perceive my question (Code: S_ALR_87003642).

FI posting period variant restricted in OB52

Hi,
First all of you have HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009.
My problem is i have multiple posting period variant (Multiple company code wise), i want to restrict posting peirod variant in OB52 i.e. one posting period variant for one company code to be open / close only by concerned user of that company code.
pls. advice asap.
regards,
mahesh

Hi
You have multiple posting period variants (multiple company code wise).
After the creation of posting period variant in OBBO you will assign the posting period variant to Company code in OBBP.Once you assign one posting period variant to company code , the posting period is restricted to that company code only.
use Authorization groups if you want to restrict the posting periods to the users.
suppose that authorization group for user A is A.
Go to OB52 -
>Open/Close posting periods.
Variant(posting period variant) , Account type , From Period1(6) , Year(2008) , To Period1(6) , Year(2008) , From Period2(7) , Year(2008) , To Period(7) , Authorization Group(A)
This means that periods 6 and 7 are accessible to Authorization group A and Period 7 is accessible to rest of the authorization groups.
This will solve your issue.

Regarding ABAP Query authorization group

Hi Team,
This is regarding ABAP Query!
I have created one authorization group, for testing i have assigned my id in authorization group.
After creation of ABAP query,standard program got generated. Now i have created one transaction code at the last for the ABAP Query.
Now the isse is even though i have deleted my id from the authorization group. I am able to execute the query from SQ01 and with the Transaction code .
It should not happen...i want who soever id is mapped to the transaction code ...that member should only be able to run that query, otherwise there is no use of authorization group.
Please help me out in this case.
Thanks & Regards,
Anil Kumar Sahni

Are you sure that you don't have access to that authorisation group? Execute report RSUSR002. In the 'Authorization Object 1' block inform S_TABU_DIS in 'Auth.Object' and accept. Then inform Activity=03 and Auth.Gruop= your group.
You will get a list of all the users which, theoretically, will be able to execute the query. If you press 'Roles' or 'Profiles' in the toolbar of the listing you will get to know why you have authorisation. May be you have the SAP_ALL profile.
Also, one more thing to take into account: how have you created your transaction? Is it referring directly to the generated report? Then it is an error, you should execute program SAP_QUERY_CALL. Read this post: [Relate transaction to query;

Hi,
You can customise in Fiscal year Varient, If you are maintaining V3 then assign posting period days to March as 30 days and create period 13 as special period. Now you are able to block periods 1 to 12 in OB52 and allow user in posting period 13 (special period) i.e for March 31st
Try it.

Clarify these words:posting period varients & open & close posting period

Hi Sap Gurus,
Someone kindly make me clarify following words.Thank you.
1.Posting period varient.
2.Open & close posting periods
3.Assign posting period varients to company code-What does it do after assignment?
Best Regards,

Financial Analysist

Hi,
It is very easy and understandble.
1.Posting period varient.
If you want to post any documents you need to enter some date right? That date would belongs to some posting period right?.
for Example your Fin.period is JAN to DEC. Means 01 is for Jan, 12 is for DEC, 05 for May.
So according to your requirement you have to create the variant and define what do you want.
2.Open & close posting periods
When you in operation and if you are posting a document in the month of Feb. the period Jan has been closed it will avoid the mistakes while posting to the different periods.
3.Assign posting period varients to company code-What does it do after assignment?
Once you have created your company code and your posting variant. You are assign to make the link to both the level.

Check available authorization groups

Hi ,
if a custom table needs to be assigned to an authorization group in SAP.
Which is the transaction to check users assigned to an authorization group?
Currently i have an idea that Assigning and Creating authorization groups are dealt in SE54 but i cannot find a way to check
whether users are assigned to an authorization group...!!!
thanks
kritika

Checking Assignment of Authorization Groups to Tables:
You can also assign authorization groups to tables to avoid users accessing tables using general access tools (such as transaction SE16). A user requires not only authorization to execute the tool, but must also have authorization to be permitted to access tables with the relevant group assignments. For this case, we deliver tables with predefined assignments to authorization groups. The assignments are defined in table TDDAT; the checked authorization object is S_TABU_DIS.
You can assign a table to authorization group Z000. (Use transaction SM30 for table TDDAT) A user that wants to access this table must have authorization object S_TABU_DIS in his or her profile with the value Z000 in the field DICBERCLS (authorization group for ABAP Dictionary objects).
See also:
· SAP Notes 7642, 20534, 23342, 33154, and 67766
· Documentation for RSCSAUTH
Hope this helps.... if not check the following link
If you still don't find, search google 'table authorization groups in sap' - There are good info on web.
You can assign the authorization group to any custom table via SE11 - table - display - utilities - assign authorization group and rest follow the sap help (where to maintain and how to assign) .This is a developer and security persons work.

Open and close posting period authorization control TCODE: S_ALR_87003642

HI All,
Is there any chance to control the user to open and close another company code posting period variant in TCODE: S_ALR_87003642.
In our system we are using the same client for different countries. So user can able to change the other country company code posting periods.
We would like to control either on the country (or) organizational unit(company code) (or) posting period variant so that user can only open/close their country / company code posting periods.
Our present authorization role for open and close posting period contain the auth.Obj. : S_TABU_DIS.
Please share your knowledge if you come across this problem..
Thanks in advance..

Hey Sandhya,
Congratz, this can be done using linbe item authorization with the object S_TABU_LIN.
Field ORG_CRIT - Value 02
Field ORG_FIeld1 - Value ZT001B
We have successfully done it in our client.
You need to contact your BASIS consultant for this.
Thanks,

OB52 authorisation group (close&open posting periods only for partic users

Dear FI-CO Guru's
In ob52- I want open postin periods
1)Certain group of user will allow for posting only normal periods
and
2) Certain group of users will allow for posting normal and special periods
this is our business requirement kindly suggest how can I maintain
Regards
GuruPrsad

Hi Guru,
If only a limited set of users is to be able to post in a particular
posting period, proceed as follows:
Add the posting period authorization (authorization object
F_BKPF_BUP) to the authorizations of the selected users. Assign an
authorization group (e.g. '0001').
Enter the account type '+' for the posting period variant to which
the restriction is to apply. Enter the period(s) whose use is to be restricted in the first period, those which are available to all
users in the second period, and the authorization group (e.g.
'0001') in the last column.
For this you need to consult with Basis people authorization matrix.

Teja
