Authorization object for Profit Center in BW 3.5

Hi,
      I have question regarding BW security. I want to restrict users access based on profit center ie i mean to ask is there any authorization object in BW, where i can specify Profit Center values and create role, where i can further assign this role ans restrict authorization to that particulat profit center.
    I already have authorization on profit center hierarchy which is old. Now we have new hierarchy, how can I use those authorization object, profiles, and roles to this new hierarchy. If there is quick work around please advise or can tell me how to create authorization object in BW, where i can specify Profit Center values and create role.
Thanks in Advance
Robert Courtney.

Hi Siva
The security concept in BW is a bit different from the R/3 security concept.
In BW you need to create an authorization object in RSSM (or rsecadmin in NW2004 and forward), for these kind of organizational/Data driven authorization checks. In RSSM you'll need to link it to the Info Object for your profitcenter and to activate it for the relevant cubes.
My guess is that your working with at profitcenter hierarchy - in this case you need to look at the authorization for hierarchies concept - this is maintained in RSSM as well - for documentation on this check this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw33/helpdata/en/8b/134c3b5710486be10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
The actual roles can still created i PFCG.

Authorization Object for Cost center

Hi Experts;
We are using SRM 7, classic scenario.
We are copying SRM tcode: BBP_BW_SC4 to a Z report and modify it. The users will be given the access to display the status of thier SC.
How can I restrict the user from displaying the SC of other department's? Is there an authorization object for cost center in SRM? is there any other away to restrict the users from displaying SC related to other depts.
Appreciate your help

by the way, why are you not using the standard SAP powl queries? they anyways restrict you from viewing others SCs except your team
any ways, if you are copying that report this BBP_BW_SC4, then change this
PARAMETERS pa_coce TYPE kostl OBLIGATORY DEFAULT lv_costcenter.
to
PARAMETERS pa_coce TYPE kostl OBLIGATORY DEFAULT lv_costcenter no-display.

Reporting - restricted for profit center-wise

Hi
My client has two profit centers (1000 and 2000) in one company code. Both profit centers are totally independent. Now my client requirement is that when user of profit center 1000 runs AR01 (i.e. asset balances), he should be able to see assets only for his profit centers i.e. 1000. Asset of profit center 2000 should not appear in that report.
In EHP 4, there is provision for Profit Center-wise document posting, change and display functionality. But i want to know if this profit center-wise authorization will work for asset balances report (AR01) and other assets reports also.
Please help.
Edited by: Deepak Agrawal on Jan 1, 2012 5:43 PM

K_PCA or authorization object for profit center is not check in assets report.
In AR01 you cannot restrict the results to profit center as it is not checked in authorization . The fields which are checked are company code , Asset class and asset views.
Hence you will have to lookup for alternatives like selection based on plant or cost center or responsible cost center etc.
In case if the requirement is a show stopper then you will have to code the things in Enhancement points as there are no BADI or Exits available for the same .

Authorization object for company code and profit center together

Hi all,
Please help me with the following requirement..
Company Code = ABCD
Profit Center = *
The user is authorized to run the report for company code ABCD only but any profit center within this company code.
2 Company Code = *
Profit Center = WXYZ
The user is authorized to run the report for Profit Center WXYZ only but any company code.
3 Company Code = *
Profit Center = *
The user is authorized to run the report for any company code and profit center.
The same user could have 1 and 2. So, in this case he should be able to run a report for the total inventory of company code ABCD, and a report for total inventory of profit center WXYZ only regardless company code.
He should not have visibility to other company codes inventory other then profit center WXYZ.

How to restrict authorization based on profit center in ke80 report

hi friends
we have a situation where we need to maintain the authorization based on profit center in ke80 report. The authorzation object K_PCA is not working. whenever we assign a particular profit center and then generate the profile, we still get the message no autjorization and when we check su53 it shows it needs '' asterisk. but we cant assign the asterisk as we have 5 subsidaries and there are using 5 different set of profit centers so assigning asterisk () would be comprimising on our security.
does anybody came across this situation and if yes how did they resolve this?
I need your suggestions on how to maintain this restriction.
Regards,
Imran

Hi Friends
The problem has beend solved. It turns out that this is a report writer issue. We raised the issue with SAP and they informed that 'For Report Painter/Writer every item is checked if you have the authori-zation or not. Only the items with authorization fullfilled will be displayed afterwards'.
Based on SAP answer we created different reports for each profit center/company code.
I would like to thank you all for your time and inputs.

Authorization Objects for GL, AP, and PCA

Hi,
What is the difference in:
1. Authorization Objects
2. Facility Objects
3. Profit Center Objects
Where can I find the above objects related to:
1. GL
2. AP
3. PCA (Profit Center Accounting)
Please give me the answer, I will assign points to you.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
1) Make the characterstics like Company code, Controlling Area, Proficenter ..etc as authorization relevent (RSA1)
2) Create the Respective Authorization objects for each of the above Characterstics (RSSM).
3) And assign the Cubes and ODS es to the Authorization Object RSSM
4) Create and use the Authorization variables on the above characterstics in reports
5) maitain the access for all users through the roles by including and maintaining the AOs (created in step 2)

Dear all;
I am in 4.0B version that doesnt have BAPI_PROFITCENTER_CREATE. Writing a BDC for this would be complicated as my data is compiled in a different way.
Are there any Standard Batch Input Programs for Profit Center Creation ?

4KE5-Actual Distribution for Profit center

I am facing the below error when I execute the 4KE5 for profit center actual distribution. I have maintained the number range but still the same error is there. I defined number range for Document type OC for year 2008.
please advise how to overcome?
"Document number: range not found
Message no. GA703
Diagnosis
An error occurred during document number determination. No range was found for number range object GL_LOCAL, sub-object TTSL.
System Response
No document number was determined. Results could not be updated.
Procedure
Inform the person in charge of number ranges."

When you enter GB02, Click on the Overview icon (Shift +F7)
You should be able to see
Subobject Element           Year             From No.               To No.            NR Status

                 A0
where $$$$ is your company code, 2008 or 2009 is the year for which you want the number range, along with the document type (AO)
If you cannot see this, then you have not assigned the Number Range to that document type.

Posting depreciation run (AFAB) for profit center

I have 3 plants and each plant is created as separate profit center.
All plants want to run and post depreciation independently. So i wanted to know if AFAB (depreciation posting) can be executed profit center-wise.
Please advice

There are no SAP notes.
Because we are looking something beyond the original design of the system.
You can post the depreciation per company code, but not for profit center. In AFAB, you cannot get profit center selection screen.
As a statistical object, finally your profit center gets the postings, which you can view them in the report.
But, if you want to run AFAB based on profit center selection criteria, then, it is NOT possible. There is NO SAP notes for that.

Here ais note from the forums to get profit center group from table
From Table SETLEAF, Field SETCLASS = '0106'. Field SUBCLASS with controlling area. Profit center in Field VALFROM.

Thanks Abhijit , I can now see my report group at the bottom of the list .I assigned you full points.I posted another question regarding report painter .If you could also give me some guidance on that.When I was creating rows and updating cost elements with account numbers.I set up 3 revenue accounts and then ran the report to see if I get any data for profit centers.I did get data but when I double clicked on one of the account,it displays this messsage.I read the msg. but could not make any sense with it.for example in definning row I put account number from/to 400000- 400000    Explode. and thats a characteristic.
No valid master data for characteristic 'Account Number'
Report MEG1 does not contain any data pages.
No valid master data for characteristic 'Account Number'
Message no. GR633
Diagnosis
No valid master data within the specified interval was found for the characteristic 'Account Number'.
Explanation:
For each characteristic that is processed in a report, the Report Writer optimizes the interval limits which are relevant for selecting data from the database.
Example:
A report contains the characteristic 'account', for which an account interval from 100000 to 200000 has been entered. However, if the master data validation shows that the lowest/highest account in this interval is 110000/190000, the selection will be limited to accounts 110000 to 190000 only.
The system returns this error message if no master data exists for the interval.
This error is typically caused by an invalid version. In FI-SL Special Purpose Ledger, for example, versions are assigned to the ledger and are defined in configuration. The report definition can then contain a non-defined version. A similar situation applies to controlling (cost center accounting): here, versions are assigned to the controlling area and fiscal year and can be defined in planning.
Another cause of this error is a ledger that is not assigned to the table for which the report was created.
Technical information:
The field name for 'Account Number' is 'RACCT'.
System Response
The system cancels processing.
Procedure
Check the report definition, or the specified master data, or the intervals.
Regards
Shaun
