Difference between roles for PROCUREMENT EXECUTIVE & COMMODITY MANAGER

Hi
What is the technical and funcational differences between the roles SAP_XA_PROCUREMENT_EXECUTIVE and SAP_XA_COMMODITY_MANAGER?
When doing role comparision in backend BW there is no difference, Moreover in PFCG upon checking the authorization data for respective roles there are no authorization objects
Regards
Neel

Hi Neel,
There is no technical difference between the 2 roles.
Like Ricardo mentioned they are used for differentiating functional / business roles.  So one role could give access to a sub-set of reports & dashboards and the other role could have access to a completely different set of reports & dashboards.  To control this access in the SPM application you would create different folders where you would store the reports & dashboards and then tie the roles to these SPM folders, when users are granted the roles they would be able to see the appropriate folders.

Rohit

  • Differences between Roles, Schemas, Users and Logins.

    I need differences between Roles, Schemas, Users and Logins. Can anyone help me. Thanks in advance

    Roles:
    I think of creating roles in the database to group users of like
    function.  Roles are granted certain permissions in the database.  You
    should become familiar with the fixed database roles since these will be
    utilized once you start creating users within the database.  Also, once
    you see the type of permissions that are granted to each role, is makes
    more sense.
    Schema: there can be several schemas in a database,
    which will house different types of objects such as tables, indexes,
    stored procedures, functions,  etc.  Users own schemas.  Looking into
    the AdventureWorks database illustrates this concept, with several
    schemas like HR, Production, etc.
    Login: Think about login as
    gaining access to the SQL Server instance.  If a user account is not
    granted any permissions within the instance, you basically just were
    able to unlock the door and enter the room, by creating a user you then
    grant access to the database objects or principals, and can begin to
    work with them. 
    Users:  Users own schemas, and as such will be
    able to manipulate the objects they own.  Some of the manunipulations
    are very permissive, such as creating tables, indexes, stored
    procedures, functions, etc.  These are developers and administrators.
    Users
    are created and granted permissions for application use, which will
    have select, update, insert, and delete and execute permissions  to a
    finite set of objects in the schema, for which the application will need
    to function properly.
    In a client server database, as an
    example, of the structure.  Roles were defined which provides the
    permissions to the database objects in the database, which only has one
    schema 'dbo'. One SQL server login was created with the same username,
    and dbo is the assigned default schema, and the roles assigned to that
    username. 
    In the application, each specific user is given there own
    "application" login which is mapped to the one defined sql server
    login.

  • Difference between Web Service URL and Report Manager URL

    What is the difference between Web Service URL and Report Manager URL in Reporting Service configuration manager in SQl Server 2008 Reporting Setrvices

    Another way to put it is the Web Service URL is just that, its used for services that are connecting to issue API calls.  The Report Manager URL is the nice GUI that users should use.  If you click the links, you should see the difference.  I
    am sure you have likely done that, but functionally one is for programmatic purposes and the other to be the front end graphical user interface.
    Sometimes pictures help as well...

  • Difference between roles and responsibilities of sd consultant?

    what is the difference between roles and responsibilities of sd consultant?

    Hi!
    "Roles and responsibilities" it is a term used by the consultant to tell about themselves. There is no difference between them. They co-related to each other. If you are given a ROLE for that certain RESPONSIBILITIES will be there.
    Hope you got cleared.

  • Difference between Roles and Profiles

    Hi,
    What is difference between Roles and Profiles?
    Thanx in advance..
    jitender

    Hi,
    It is a simple hierarchy level difference for grouping levels of authorization and the need avoid maintenance on a large number of individual authorizations on a user level.
    In SAP, authorizations are grouped together into profiles. These profiles usually represent some sort of functional access (i.e. Create customer master records). The profiles can then be allocated roles which group the individual functional access into a more abstract level of a role (i.e. accounts clerk). Roles are then assigned to users based on their specific responsibilities.

  • Difference between batarries for Macbook air A1245 and A1237?

    Hello. Is there any difference between batarries for Macbook air A1245 and A1237(the very first air)? I often see ads in Internet where baterries are described like *for A1245/A1237*. Please, help.

    So, just to make it clear. What is a1245? I know that there is no such MBA, but why people mark batteries as *a1245/a1237*?
    If I buy battery marked *a1245/a1237*, will it work? See an example http://www.ebay.com/itm/Battery-for-Apple-MacBook-Air-13-A1245-A1237-MB003-MC233 -MC233LL-A-MC234-A1304-/300934966726

  • Difference between mastered for iTunes and previous versions?

    Is there a noticeable difference between Mastered for iTunes albums and any previous versions? I purchased Bon Jovi's "Have A Nice Day (Special Edition)", and now it has been replaced with a Mastered for iTunes version. Is there any value or noticeable difference if I were to purchase the new version?

    One of the inexpensive compilation downloads I purchased on iTunes was terrible, I'd much rather listen to the original mix of " I had too much to dream last night" than the remaster, which destroyed the song completely.
    Well, there is really no way to improve on the sound of The Electric Prunes coming over an AM transistor radio!
    I guess I'm suspicious of iTunes files in general. I am a dying breed, using separate amps and pre-amps and real speakers as well as Ultimate Ear earbuds and a great car system. The cuts that are engineered for iTunes are mixed for lo-fidelity appliances and just don't sound that good.
    There are online download stores that cater to a more audiophile crowd.  Check out HD Tracks.

  • Difference between role and profile

    Hi All,
    I need to know the difference between role and profile. Kindly let me also know
    relevant T codes. Can Profiles exist without roles? If yes please let me know how to create them.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Kalyan

    Kalyan,
    A role is basically a container of authorizations and other related items.
    A profile contains the actual authorizations once a role is generated.  In addition a profile can be created from scratch using the classical method--transaction SU02.  Roles are created via transaction PFCG.
    Also take a look at the following threads:

  • Difference between roles and rules

    Hi,
        I like to know the difference between the roles and rules from basic..
    Pls do  the needful.

    Rules tells the object identification of the standard task.Many workflow systems allow for escalation rules to be built into the process, ie when a manager does not action a task it gets escalated via the workflow to another manager. If the escalation time frame is set to 5 days, you need to ensure your tests take this into account and the result might be longer test cycles.
    Tasks can be assigned to an organizational unit but the strength of the workflow system is to enable business rules which select users <b>according to the data being processed</b>. For example, you might have one group of users associated with one quality notification type. The workflow can be configured to query the QM module directly to determine the users. You can define fallbacks using the default role associated with a task and allow agents to be specified on the fly by a supervisor.
    Using workflow, one can manage various tasks or steps to be executed by different users (based on users or roles).An action can be assigned to user or to a role.The routing mechanism for work items uses roles and organizational assignments to determine who receives which work item.roles can be assigned to users while creating organization structure in ppoce.
    hope this information helps
