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.
Regards
Shane

How to create new group for material type

Hello all experts,
Im unable to create a new group for materials types, diff groups for FG and raw materials material type??
Could you pls help ??
Thanks in advance.

Hi
When you create a new material you have to specify the material types like finished goods or raw material like that in the initial screen
For this new material types can be defined in
SPRO -> Logistic - General -> Material Master -> Basic Settings -> Material Type ->Define attribute of material Type
T code OMS2
After specifying the material type and giving organizational data like plant, storage location,sales org etc we go on to create the material
In one of the tabs the material groups should be specified and from MM point of view it is a reqd entry
this can be defined in
Define Material Group
SPRO -> Logistic - General -> Material Master -> Setting for Key Field -> Define Material Group
T .Code: OMSF
I beleive this is what you are asking about

Hi
Update the authorization group field in the GL master with any user defined value and then include the same in the respective user roles against the authorization object - F_BKPF_BES-BRGRU in PFCG
Ensure you have updated 'Authorization group' for the GL accounts in your chart of accounts
Thank You,

Authorization Object for Material Type

Hi All,
Is it possible to restrict the user from creating the material master based on Material Type. If yes then what is the authorization object for the same.
Regards
Mahendra

Dear Mahendra,
You can definitely restrict a end-user to only particular Material Type thru Authorizations.
Authorization Object: M_MATE_MAR
This can be done thru authorization management. Consult your Basis person or follow this:
SU01 - Enter the user Id & select display button. Now click on the Roles Tab & note down the role assigned to this user Id.
Go to T-Code - PFCG - enter the Role name & select the change icon.
Click on the Authorizations tab page. & then Click on Change Authorization Data.
Now expand the menu tree of Materials Management: Master Data & further expand the menu tree of Material Master: Material Types. Now click on the change icon next to Authorization Group & select the required Material Type that you want to authorize the end-user.
This is how you can give authorizations only for a particular Material Type.
Hope this helps.. .
Give point if useful...
Thanks,

How to Create Authorization Group for SAP Standard Tables

All,
I have 10 standard tables which are required to maintain by the user in Production environment.
Is there any way to create a custom auth group for the standard table?
Is it possible to assign same table in two different auth groups?
Please advice
Thanks,
Kotesh

Multiple tables can be linked to an auth group, but one table can be linked to only one auth group.
You cannot link one table to more than one auth group.
It is always advised to try to find an existing auth group having tables of same functinality and criticality, before creating a new auth group.
In case you don't have any such auth group, I feel you can create a Z auth group using se16->tbrg.
You can also create auth group using tcode se54.

Authorization for material type and material views

Hello all,
I would need to restrict a user group, in creation (MM01) and modification of material master, based of type material and material views.
The authorization, for each user should be:
- view, modify and create of all views, except accounting (B) for type material ZFER;
- view, modify and create of all views for type material ZOFF.
I tried to create 2 roles in PFCG with the following authorization objects:
1) M_MATE_MAR (Material Master: Material Types) ACTVT = *, BEGRU = ZFER and M_MATE_STA (Maintenance Statuses) ACTVT = *, STATM = A,C, D, E, F, G,K, L, P, Q, S, V, X, Z (excluding B)
2) ) M_MATE_MAR ACTVT = *, BEGRU = ZFER and M_MATE_STA ACTVT = *, STATM = B
but the effect is to be authorized, to all view for material type ZFER and ZOFF.
I have already updated the authorization group of the type materials (OMS2).
Is there a solution for this problem?
(component version SAP ECC 6.0)
Thanks.
Regards,
Luca

- Are both these roles assigned to the same user? then your purpose is not solved, It is more or less like giving full authorization.
- One role should be
M_MATE_MAR (Material Master: Material Types) ACTVT = *, BEGRU = ZFER and M_MATE_STA (Maintenance Statuses) ACTVT = *, STATM = A,C, D, E, F, G,K, L, P, Q, S, V, X, Z (excluding B) for view, modify and create of all views, except accounting (B) for type material ZFER. This should be assigned to one user
- Second role should be
M_MATE_MAR ACTVT = *, BEGRU = ZOFF and M_MATE_STA ACTVT = *, STATM = * for view, modify and create of all views for type material ZOFF. This role should be assigned to the second user.

Problem creating cache group for a table with data type varchar2(1800 CHAR)

Hi,
I am using TimesTen 7.0 with Oracle 10.2.0.4 server. While creating Cache Group for one of my table I'm getting the following error.
5121: Non-standard type mapping for column TICKET.DESCRIPTION, cache operations are restricted
5168: Restricted cache groups are deprecated
5126: A system managed cache group cannot contain non-standard column type mapping
The command failed.
One of my filed type in oracle table is Varchar2(1800 CHAR). If I change the filed size to <=1000 it (E.g. Varchar2(1000 CHAR)) then the Create Cache command works fine.
MyDatabase Character Set is UTF8.
Is it possible to solve without changing the filed size in the Oracle Table?
Request your help on this.

If you start SU21, find the authorization object and double click on it you should be able to see who the author is.
Or you can findout through SUIM

Creating iCal groups for iCloud

Is there any way to create a new calendar group for the iCloud? When I create a new group in iCal, it only creates it on my Mac, and I can't see any options of creating a new group in the iCloud calendars. Are "Home" and "Work" the only options for iCloud iCal?
We're trying to set up our iCal on our Mac to sync using iCloud with our iPad and iPod.

Control the authorization base on material type level

Dear Experts,
We want to control some users only can create or modify the material base on material type level .
For instance , user A only can modify the 'ROH' type material , he can not maintain any 'FERT' type material .
I set the authorization object 'M_MATE_MAR' in the user A's profile , but it doesn't work .....
System : SAP4.7 x 200
DB : oracle9i
Has someone can tell me it is possibile to control the maintain authorization base on material type level ?
Or give me some suggestions.....
Many thanks
Best Regards,
Carlos Zhang

Hi
Yes this works & the authorisation object found by you is also correct.
For the object - M_MATE_MAR
Maintain the activity 01,02,03
Maintain the authorisation group - each material type can be assigned to an authorisation group. In OMS2 , you can assign the authorisation groups to the material type.
For E.g if the material type is ROH- enter the authorisation group as ROH.
Ensure that the user does not have this object, As If this object is present in any other role with authorisation group as * then the * will overirde any value.
Thanks & Regards

Limit material group by material type

Hello experts,
When creating a material by tcode mm01 I would like to limit the material groups by material type, as it happens with valuation class.
It is possible? How can I achieve this behaviour?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
JP

Hi JP,
You cant control this, since material groups are floating entities with no dependancies. You have to either create a screen variant in SHD0 (this doesnt support for a particular material type) or chk with your ABAPer to wrte a code to achieve this.

Define Account Grouping for Movement Types??

hi
In account determination the setting in transaction OMWM - Define Account Grouping for Movement Types
The above transaction needs any setting or its standard SAP settings??
Can somebody explain me about this transaction in detail.
Thanks

OMWM is to decide account determination should happen via valuation grouping code or not. SAP standard is with valuation grouping code. I had never seen singe time anywhere it is deactivated.
Account grouping for movemement you can see in OMJJ. (Inside movement type left side). It is also predefined by SAP. You see only account modifier and check acct. assignment is editable. Others cannot be edited.
In case for same transaction if you want 2 different GL account needs to be triggered for same material in same plant, we copy a movemen type and create a new and assign a different account modifier.
Then in OBYC against it we will maintain different GL account.
Hope you are clear

Antony

Authorization Group for G/L Account

Hi,
What?
- I wish to restrict the 'posting' of a G/L account to be done by certain users only
How?
- What I have done was...
a) From FS00, I have added a free-text (BANK) into the Authorization Group for a G/L account
b) From PFCG, a new role was created to allow these 2 Authorization Objects, F_BKPF_BES and F_SKA1_BES
c) 'BANK' was entered for the Authorization Group for both these 2 Authorization Objects
d) From there, I have assigned this new role to the user that I wish to allow Posting of the G/L account
Problem?
- Other users still can do Posting for this G/L account
- Any steps which I have missed out here or done wrongly?
Thanks,
Brandon

Hi,
Some other roles of the users may override and cause the users to post against this GL account.
Check all the roles relevant for the restricted users.
Use SUIM t-code to find if the auth object mentioned above is included in any other role.
If it be, restrict that again.
Generally if one role as no restriction against this auth and not all, this issue tends to happen.

Creation of Group for Order type

Dear All,
I have created the stage wise order
types ,now I am trying to create a group for each order
type, while doing this I maintained text &
no.range for the same,
but system is not creating new group,
it replaced the existing group.(OPJH )
please guide me to solve this difficulty
Thanks in advance
Rgds,
Vijay Mankar

Hi Vijay,
1. To create a new group "F6" now type the description and the number interval. Now hit enter. New group is created
2. You need to select the new Number Range Group by selecting the check box on the left side of the group.
3. Place your cursor on the Order type decsription and use "F2" to select the line.
4. Now you need to hit the "Element/Group" icon or F5 in key board to assign the order type to the number range group.
Save the changes now. Number ranges are generally not transported, so you need to do this directly in the client where it is needed.
Hope this steps will help you in understanding how this has to be done. Reward your points,
Regards,
Prasobh
