Evaluation paths in MSS

Question

Hi
Our client is using "matrix" relationships A/B002 (is line supervisor of) in their organisation and wants to display them in MSS (latest version) teamviewer. We are using evaluation path WF_POSIT (User/person has as position)as rule for root objects and ORGA-P (Supervisory and subordinate positions with person display) as rule for target objects. However we are only able to show relationships 002 which are below the manager's position in the organisation and not those which are elsewhere in the organisation. This worked before with the client before our upgrade project.
Can you advise if it's possible to show the 002 (is line supevisor of) relationships in MSS from all over the organisational structure (not only below the manager) with these evaluation paths or should some others be used?
We can only see the 002's below the manager with or without structural authorizations and before the upgrade the evaluation paths were not modified from standard and permitted relationships are also the same.
Any thoughts would be helpful.

Hello Raj,
you need so called Structural Authorizations to accomplish your requirenment. But be aware this has a direct effect on your entire HR-based Authorization concept in your company if you switch it on!
To activate Structural Authorizations call transaction OOAC and set the switch for ORGPD to a proper value which does meet your needs. (See http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/c7/4aba3b3bf00152e10000000a114084/frameset.htm) If it is already set to a value <> 0 is is already activated.
The next thing you need to do is to maintain your Manager Role. The authorization object in question is P_ORGIN. If you want for instance to give a user read access to Infotype 0001 of another person you provide the following values:
- AUTHC: R
- INFTY: 0001
- PERSA: *
- PERSG: *
- PERSK: *
- SUBTY: *
- VDSK1: *
If you would stop here, every user would have access to Infotype 0001 of any other Person in your company. But as you want to restirct the access to just persons which lay within you evalution path B002, you have to maintain tables T77PR and T77UA.
T77PR: Create a Profile (e.g. name it My Team or something) and add the following values: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/34/49ba3b3bf00152e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
- Planversion: 01 (most likely)
- Object Type: O
- Evalution Patch: <Hint> You cant use B002 directly as B002 just give objects of type O back, but you  need object of type P. Use SBES for instance.
- Status Vector: 12
- Depth: 0
- Function Module: RH_GET_ORG_ASSIGNMENT (Gives you the root object where to start the evaluation with path SBES.
Now you need to assign your users (in your case your managers) to this profile. Use table T77UA to do this.
Thats it
