Authorization Group Material Master

Hello,
i am trying to restrict a user from accessing a single material. I am using Authorization Object M_MATE_MAT for this. When I use transaction mm03 to go on the material master I see a field for the Authorization Group but when I go to the same view in mm02 (View: Basic Data 1) I don't see the field Authorization Group or the section Material Authorization Group. Where can I enter the Authorization Group for a Material Master.
Thanks everyone - I'd really appreciate an answer,
Johannes

HI..
You will have to make the field to display in OMS9.
Double click on MM02 - - >then for number 36 make the field as optional entry or required entry as desired.
Right now it must be showing in Hide.
After changing you will be able to see in MM02 and make the entry there.
Hope it helps,
Swapnil

  • Authorization for Material Master

    Hi all
    I need to set up authorization at a field level in the Material Master. Can I do it and if yes how do I proceed. What are the authorization objects for these?
    thanks a lot

    Hi,
    Authorisations can be set up against certain fields in material master.
    I suggest that you read the documentation against the following IMG path:

  • Authorization Material Master data

    Hello,
    vould you tell me if it's possible to restrict changing Material master data according to material type ?
    Thank's

    Hi,
    Use authorization object M_MATE_MAR - Material type authorization for material master records
    This object determines whether a user is authorized to maintain the material master record for a specific material type.
    Defined fields
    Fields      Possible values         Meaning
    ACTVT       01                      User may create data.
                02                      User may change data.
                03                      User may display data.
                06                      User may flag data for deletion.
    BEGRU                               Here you must specify the
                                        authorization groups from table
                                        T134 for which the materials
                                        concerned may be processed.

  • Screen Level Security for the Material Master

    We need to create security for the material master by screen views. The Purchasing group needs to be able to change the Purchasing and MRP screens but none of the other screens. How would we accomplish this with SAP security?
    Thanks!

    Janet,
    It is hard for us to know how your authorization profiles or roles are constructed.  You really should consult your local authorization expert.
    The Authorization object you are looking for is M_MATE_STA.  It is probably contained in at least one of your Roles or Profiles that are currently assigned to your MM maintenance people. At a minimum, it should exist in standard SAP profile M_MATE_ALL in your system.  You can review all of these types of authorization info in the User Information System (transaction SUIM).
    You would have to create roles or profiles that narrowly define the "User department" fields for M_MATE_STA object.  You would also have to search for existing roles/profiles that contain "*" in this field, and determine if these entries are still appropriate in your new authorization business process you want to begin.
    Below is the SAP help about this authorization object
    M_MATE_STA
    Definition
    Maintenance status authorization for material master records
    The data contained in a material master record is divided into user departments or views (Purchasing, MRP, and so on). The maintenance status is a single-character key for the relevant user department or view.
    This object determines which user departments or views a user is authorized to process; that is, which data he or she may process from this view.
                                                                                    Note                                                                      
    To use material master functions, a user needs the authorization for at least one user department.
    Defined Fields
    Fields               Possible values      Meaning
    ACTVT                01                   User may create data.
                         02                   User may change data.
                         03                   User may display data.
                         06                   User may flag data for deletion.                       
                         08                   User may display change documents. 
    STATM                                     Here, you specify the maintenance status for which the user is authorized.         
    The maintenance statuses possible are as follows:
    User department                Maintenance status
    Work scheduling                   A
    Accounting                        B
    Classification                    C
    MRP                               D
    Purchasing                        E
    Production resources/tools        F
    Costing                           G
    Basic data                        K
    Storage                           L
    Forecasting                       P
    Quality management                Q
    Warehouse management              S
    Sales                             V
    Plant stocks                      X
    Storage location stocks           Z
    Notes
    This authorization object also determines:
    o   Whether a user may flag a material master record for deletion. In this case, 06 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
    o   Whether a user may change the material type. In this case, 02 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
    o   Whether a user may process an MRP profile or forecast profile. In this case, the following values must be entered in field ACTVT:
    -   01 to create
    -   02 to change or delete
    -   03 to display
    The maintenance status must be D for the MRP profile or P for the forecast profile.
    o   Whether a user may create an overview of all extendable materials. In this case, 01 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
    o   Whether a user may call up the materials list. In this case, 03 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
    o   Whether a user may create or change production versions from task lists. In this case, 02 must be entered in field ACTVT, and A in field STATM.

  • Restrict material groups  at PR/PO creation for items w/o material master

    Dear SAP experts
    I have one question related to restricting material groups which are possible for selection during purchase requisition or purchase order creation.
    The material group is created and several material master records are linked to it. Now the requirement is that when users are creating either purchase requisitions or purchase orders it shouldn't be possible to select that specific material group>
    But this should be valid only if PR or PO are being created for items without material master record. If PR/PO is created for item with material master record then the restriction should not take place.
    What would be the nicest solution to achieve that?
    Thank you all in advance for your help.
    Regards,
    Miha

    Hello Prakash
    Thank you very much for your answer. i think it is a very good starting point.
    However I am not too familiar with authorization group configuration of material groups.
    Right now in our system (transaction OMSF) field authorization group is empty for all existing material groups.
    Does this mean that for the material group that I want to have restricted I need to have two entries: one with Authorization group ZOK and another with ZNOTOK (or whatever the naming would be)?
    Furthermore I would like to ask you where is then the link between authorization group and user exit?
    And thirdly: do you perhaps have some more details which user exit(s) are relevant for our topic?
    So far thank you very much and I hope that you can provide me also with additional info.

  • Authorization object M_MATE_MAR "Material Master - Material Types" in MM01

    Hi,
    We in CPS Energy are implementing VIrsa SOD conflicts on the roles that are in place in current SAP 4.6C version. The authorization object M_MATE_MAR is used by MM01(Creation of Material Master) transaction code & used at mutiple roles. We have restricted this authorization object by Material Type Authorization Group (BEGRU)as WMS1 & given activity a 01, 02 & 03 in a role. The same authorization object is used in Common roles also for displaying that is using transaction code MM03 (Display Material) but the activity & authorization group are ''. This '' is taking precedence over the the authorization object given in the other role.
    Please let us know how to put a control on this authorization object which is used widely by large number of users.
    Maintained Material Master: Material Types                              T-D119010802
    Activity                       01, 02, 03                                             ACTVT

    Any help is really appreciated
    Thanks
    Sree

    Hi Sree, your role with MM03 in it should not have * for actvt if it is only a display role.
    As it is a display role actvt 03 would be more suitable.  That way you could have display for all auth groups, but create and change/MM01&2 would be restricted to WMS1 (and any other materials with a blank auth group)

  • Hide price in ALL Tx accg to material authorization group or material group

    Hello,
    I'm currently working on a customer's need which consists in hiding the material price in all transactions (MM, SD, FI...), according to the material master authorization group OR the material group.
    The difficulty remains on the fact that users manage the transactions for other materials for which they can see the price.
    I've tested some solutions posted on the forum (Tx OMET + user parameter EFB, use of authorization objects M_BEST_EKG + M_BEST_EKO + M_BEST_BSA) but none is satisfying enough.
    Please tell me you have an idea that would prevent me from doing transaction variants + enhancements!!
    Thanks for your help

  • Authorization material type in material master

    Hi expert,
    I want to know how to restrict users to create/change Material Master following
    the material type in the role.
    In role authorization Object: M_MATE_MAR Material Master: Material Types.
    I maintain material type like ROH , HALB , HAWA in authorization Group.
    But it is not work. Please help me.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Pl. check your role to users for the material master again for allowed material types. It should restrict the users only for the selected views only. This should be done for all the roles assigned to users in relation to materail master. (i.e. Create, Display & CHange). If you restrict the material type in create role only & it is not restricted in display role, then user will be able to create all the material types. hence restrict the material types in all roles related to material master (create, change, display) assigned to the user.

  • Controlling material master access through field groups

    Hello SAP Gurus,
    We want to control the material master access (MM01/02) using field groups. I am unable to find any authorization object provided by SAP which can control access at field group level.
    My scenarios is that certain group of people should be able to only display the fields in MM02 tcode and certain group of people should be able to change it. Please suggest if there is any config which will enable me to do this.

  • Authorization group in material

    Hi,
    Where can we found the field "authorization group" in the material MM01 .
    In OMS9, the field MARA-BEGRU depend on the field selection group and it's defined as a requierement entry. But, I can't found this field in the MM02.

  • Creating Authorization groups for material types

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to create Authorization groups for different material types we have in our company. Basically these are intended to restric the users from accessing the material master. Different material types needs to be assigned to differnt group of users.
    So if we can create couple of Authorization groups, then I am thinking of assigning the material types to these groups.
    I went to SPRO---Logistics general ---Material master -
    Tools --- Maintain authorization and authorization profiles.                 TCODE : PFCG
    Is this the right path?
    Please advise
    Shane

    Hi All,
    I don't think SPRO---Logistics general -Material master- Tools --- Maintain authorization and authorization profiles is the right path to create new authorization groups.
    Can anyone explain how to create new authorization groups for different material types. The purpose is to create a role and assign this auth. group to this role and provide that security role to specific users.

  • Restrict change authorization for MM17 (Material master mass maintenance)

    Hi,
    Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong forum. I want to know if it is possible to use the mass maintenance transaction MM17 (indus. material) to display data only istead of change/create. Is there some setting at the basis object level which can enable this? There are currently a lot of custom abap reports and queries in our system for viewing material master data, these can all be replaced by MM17. Basically we want to use MM17 as a reporting tool to display data only. Is a solution possible? Help is appreciated, thanks.
    Regards

    Have you tried the MM Information System node in the SAP Easy Access menu? There are a bunch of standard reports with navigation options there, for the user who has the correct authorization to display only.
    Alternately, you may want to take a look into transaction MASS and use the B_MASSMAIN object, depending on your requirements - but test it well.
    Cheers,

  • Material Master Views Authorization

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to restrict some views of the material master for some users. I've read that is possible to limit these views by the maintenance status of the authorizations but itit doesn't work for me. can you help me?
    I am using "SAP_ISR_MATERIAL_DISPLAY" role in order to restrict all the views except Warehouse Managment. So, I put the maintenance status of the WM view to display and nothing else with the others. Is it wrong?
    Is there any other way to do what I want?
    Thank you very much for your help.

    Hi All,
    I have made a copy of the role SAP_ISR_MATERIAL_DISPLAY and I have changed some setting in order to hide some views of the Material Master for the user. It has worked finally but doing this the user doesn't have authorization for other Transactions Code of WM like LS24, LT*, etc... So, I guess, I have to merge some roles and/or authorizations or I have to create an own role to pack everything I want for this user. Anyway, this is another issue...
    Thank you very much for your help, your answers have been very useful.
    Best Regards,
