Grant activity 10 (post) and block activity 32 (save) in FBCJ

Hi,
Control access to the transaction FBCJ through the object F_FBCJ. This object has the following activities:
33 = read
02 = change
32 = save
10 = post
06 = delete
36 = extended maintenance
I created a profile "Test" with permission only on activities 33(read), 02(change) and 10(post). I included a user test this profile using the authorization group according SAP note 502096.
When the test did notice that the user cannot perform the activity 10 (post). As I was informed above the activity 10(post) was granted.
I discovered after tests that the user can use the activity 10(post) only when the activity 32(save) is also provided in his profile. It does not meet my needs, because as rule of the company users should only use the activity 10(post). The activity 32(save) not be granted.
In short, I must grant the activity 10(post) to users without granting the activity 32(save).
Note:
What is most strange is that I can do the opposite, that is, give the activity 32(save) and block the activity 10(post). In this case the restriction works correctly.

Hi,
The cash journal authorization object F_FBCJ allows the administrator to grant detailed authorizations to users. The following activities can be differentiated:
Activity 32: Read and Save cash journal entries
Activity 10: Post cash journal entries
Activity 36: Customizing
Activity 06: Delete cash journal entries
To activate the authorization concept, the administrator has at least to fill the field "Authorization group" in the cash journal customizing transaction FBCJC0. The other steps are the normal ones (regarding profiles).
Did you enter at transaction FBCJC0 the authoristion group for the company code and the cash journal you would like to check authorisations?
I assume authorization group setting is missing. Authorization object "F_FBCJ" must be combined with authorization group for Cash Journal and permitted activity. Please read note 502096 and 546365 (Q & A for [7]) for more details. In addition, please make sure that you generate the authorization profile/the role before testing. Also read notes 304685 and 304984.

GR Based Invoice Verification and Invoice Post and Block Process

Hi,
We currently use invoice "Post and Block" process for AP invoice processing. GR Based Invoice Verification is not set in the vendor master for this purpose to allow us to enter an invoice where "No Goods Receipt" has been raised. However, when we raise a PO using material groups the flag "GR Based Invoice Verification" is activated in the PO. We subsquently have to remove this indicator in the PO in order to register the invoice. Why is this setting populated in the PO when it is not activated in the vendor master ? Is there a setting in MM for material groups that ius populating this value in the PO where a PO is raised using material groups ?
Thanks

Hello Eilish,
With regards to Goods reciept indicator, firstly the system looks
for any reference documents like purchase order or contract and takes
the flag from there.
If no reference documents or contracts are referenced, then
the system looks for an info.record to take the flag from there.
If there is not a info record then system will carry out the
GR-BasedIV indicator from the vendor master.
Hope this helps,
Ray

SAP cluster active/active Windows and cluster active/pasive Database

Dear Experts,
I need to know if SAP is restricted to work in an active / active cluster Windows R2 and database cluster with passive / active. Maybe Oracle database.
Maybe they can give me some information on how to do it or tell me if this combination is NOT possible. Maybe Oracle as database.
Please any information you can give me I thank.

Hi Kumar,
Please gothru the Installation guides under http://service.sap/com/instguides for required SAP DVD's and PAM for compatible DB's.
In Node A --> You start with ASCS + SCS installation as below
1.) Central Services Instance for ABAP (ASCS) -- Consists of Msg. service & Enqueue Service (Shared Disk)
2.) Central Services Instance (SCS) -- Consists of Msg. service & Enqueue Service (Should be installed after installation of 1.) (Same Shared Disk)
3.) First Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS) -- This step creates the SAP cluster group on the first MSCS node and adds the ASCS and SCS instance(s) to the SAP cluster group
4.) Database Instance
Node B
5.) Additional Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS)
6.) Enqueue Replication Server BOTH NODES, First in NODE A followed by NODE B
7.) Central Instance NODE A-- If you install the central instance on one of the NODE A, make sure that you use a local drive, not a shared drive.
8.) Dialog Instance NODE B-- Same procedure as in NODE A.
When NODE A fails, the ASCS and SCS failsover to NODE B and Dialog instance on NODE B act as CI.

Hello, today I am subscribed to photoshop CC but still has not passed and the activation of the post did not come serial number that do tell me?

creative cloud does not use a serial number. it uses your adobe id.
download the creative cloud desktop app (after signing in with your adobe id), Download Adobe Creative Cloud apps | Free Adobe CC trial
and use the desktop app to install your adobe creative cloud programs.
if you already have the cc desktop app and you need to refresh your adobe id, Sign in, Sign out | Creative Cloud desktop app

Profit centre - block for posting and put as inactive status

Hi Guru,
I want to block a profit centre from being posted to AND put the status as inactive.
I checked on the Lock indicator and the profit centre automatically becomes inactive. However, I can still post to the PC.
I noticed that if the PC has an "Active" status and the lock indicator on, then I cannot post to the PC.
What have I missed? Do I need to make the setting in a special sequence??
Linda

Hi,
Here is the step-by-step:
1.Go to T-code KE52 and call up your profit center
2. Go to the Indicators tab and put a check in the Lock indicator
3. Save:
Note that this will save your changes in an Inactive Status. You may be thinking that is a good thing and that youu2019re doneu2026I was. But youu2019re not. If you go to FB50 or 9KE0 and try to post to that profit center, it will let you post away all day long. One more step.
Click the Match stick button to Activate your new state:
Do not mess with the Validity periods unless youu2019ve got a good reason to. The real key here is setting the Lock indicator and making sure that is Active. Think of it as Actively locking your profit center.
Thank you
Pradeep

S_GUI settings Activity 02 and 04

Hi Experts
During authorization settings, users requires us to let them download data from SAP system.
To realize thier requirement, we activated authorizaton object "S_GUI", "Activity" 61 "Export".
When we explained this authorization function to our customer, they asked us
"What other settings mean?", at that time, we couldn't answer thier question properly.
This "S_GUI" settings, we know the function what activity 60:Import/61:Export" control, but
for other activity "02:Change" and "04:Print", when we activate these function, we have
no idea what kind of function it would provide us.
I found one topic in SAP wiki -> http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SMAUTH/S_GUI
and it says as below;
61: Download; This authorizes you to save lists displayed on the screen in local files (either unconverted, in spreadsheet format, or in Rich Text Format). This authorization can only be granted or denied fo all lists in the system - you cannot restrict it to a selection of lists.
60: Upload; This authorizes you to load data into the system using ws_upload or gui_upload. You cannot select the data to be uploaded.
04: Print; (not used)
02: Change; (not used)
I can not understand "not used" exactly means. If we activate these function "02:Change and 04:Print" via
PFCG, i can not figure out whether it works or not. I don't know what these settings allow users to do,either.
anybody, please give me your advice.
Regards,
Satoru

Hi Martin
Thank you for your kind reply.
Just want to make sure. Activating or disactivating these two authorization activity,
there is no difference. nothing would happen in SAP system right?
If so, my question is just solved. I am going to explain it to our customer.
Thank you very much!

Crystal Reports and Windows Active Directory

Hi,
I am trying to authenticate using the Windows Active Directory. I have created a test group in the Active directory and added myself as a member to that group. On the Crystal reports server side, I have enabled the Windows Active Directory. I can see the group that I created on the Active Directory. But I do not see any users. I have a Java infoview and I changed the web.xml file. I changed the authentication parameter to secWinAD. But does anyone know how to restart the web application server? I restarted the service Intelligent Agent. But when I login using my user id and password it still gives me the same error:
Account Information Not Recognized: Enterprise authentication could not log you on. Please make sure your logon information is correct. (FWB 00008)
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Infoview doesn't even need to be restarted.
You said "I have a Java infoview and I changed the web.xml file" in your original post
If you have .net IIS then it would be a web.config file that needs to be changed. IIS will pick up the changes as soon as you save the file and open an infoview logon page. you may also opt to set authentication.visible to true so users will have the ability to select AD when logging in.

What is diff b/w pick and switch activity in bpel?

what is the difference between pick activity and switch activity in BPEL? example Please

1)The switch activity is an IfElse with two different flows, based on a conditional expression, derived out of existing message(s) in your process.
Eg. i) Whether the salary is greater than 10,000 or not.
ii) Whether the age is greater than 60 or not.
iii) whether the department is finance or not.
2)The pick activity is an IfElse with two different flows, based on two different messages/signals, that you can expect to receive(when you are waiting for a message) from outside of your process.
Eg. i) whether you received a reply message or a timeout signal.
ii) whether you received a AddNewEmployee message or UpdateEmployee message.
The (decision for which route to be taken for) pick activity is based on the MessageType, while the switch is based on the contents in a message. The pick activity implies that you are waiting for a message, this can occur, at the start of your process or in the mid of your process. However, switch activity doesnot wait for any message, hence can only occur in the mid of the process and can not be the start of a process.
Mark the posting appropriately as "helpful" or "correct answer", if your issue is solved.

I spent all night trying to fix this. It seems to me that someone has been trying to hack into my system with all of the random codes/lines in my terminal and i have all of his foreign IP addresses. And now i get this strange message that popped up in my terminal. Idk what it entirely means? I would very appreciate if someone could just walk me through this. Thank you very much.
First time poster. I have Macbook Pro. OSX. Just downloaded the new mavericks. I'm i have my firewall on. I stay secure. I run Netbarrier, Virusbarrier, IdentityScrubber.

Then my WiFi was hacked last night and this person was writing tons lines of commands/codes that i found in my terminal and my activity monitor doesn't look normal, and I've only been a mac owner for about a year now and i'm learning more and more but while trying to figure out what was going on this message popped up which concerned me the most. Any help would be most appreciated, thanks guys. I have my terminal full of his foreign ip addresses i noticed, and a lot of other commands and lines he wrote out that i definitely did not type myself. Can anyone give me a hand on this? Thanks

haha, so now i'm thinking. I'm learning the terminal as fast as i can but there are several lines of codes and commands in there that throws up red flags to me that i don't fully understand. It just looks fishy too me. It would be highly appreciated if someone could just check this out just to tell me that i don't need to worry about it. Or point me in the right direction. I just feel un easy about this. ha.

Difference between refresh of Report in Active Viewer and Active Studio BAM

We use the Oracle SOA Suite with BAM (on Linux) 10.3.2.0.
I have 2 questions:
1. We have made a report with several items and in Active Studio --> Select Report --> Edit mode --> I see the correct values for my report. When I open my report in Active Viewer I see data from yesterday. The report is not being refreshed. How can I change this, what is causing this difference between Active Viewer and Active Studio in Edit mode??
2. One of my items in my report always gives the message: opening (only in Active Viewer, in Active Studio/edit mode I can see the correct data).

Is your popup blocker turned off? I can only imaging that the popup blocker may be keeping the Live Data window from appearing and updating the dashboard. Active Studio doesn't do a Live update, but an update on report load.

HT2623 how do i delete icloud account on my ipad when my apple ID is non active email and i don't know the password and can't reset password without active email

how do i delete icloud account on my ipad when my apple ID is non active email and i don't know the password and can't reset password without active email

If the iCloud account you are trying to delete is old ID that was later updated to change it to your current ID, you can go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now, if desired, you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Home Hub 3-- Re-activating BTWIFI and BTFON signal...

I have a Home Hub 3 and some days ago I had to do a factory reset on it. After that I had lost the BTWIFI and BTWIFI-with FON hotspot signals from the hub.
When I logged in to the hub it said “You aren't currently part of the BT FON WiFi Community”.
I found this page on your website: http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12987/~/i%27ve-changed-my-bt-home-hub-and-my-bt-wi-fi...
I carried out the instructions to opt out and to opt in again, but after 3 days nothing had happened. There were still no hotspot signals from the hub and if I looked at the hub it still said “You aren't currently part of the BT FON WiFi Community”, despite the fact that if I checked my status online it said “opted in”.
I then called the support number 0800 022 3322 recommended on this forum and got the Indian call centre who told me that home hubs do not have a dedicated hotspot signal and that the problem was due to a lack of hotspots in my area….!!!
I then sent a support message using the BT support contact form describing the above problem and asking if they could re-instate the signals manually. This is the reply I received:
“*removed
This reply was also from India and needless to say, I did not phone the help desk as suggested, as this was the same number that had failed me previously. It is obvious that BT staff in India are not aware of how BT provide hotspots in the UK.
I opted out and in again once more at that point, but it is now 5 days since my opt in and nothing has happened at the hub.
So my question is, is there a way of contacting someone in BT in the UK who understands the problem and can arrange for the hotspot signals to be re-activated on the hub.
After all, they were de-activated inadvertently, and you would think that it would be in BT’s interests to activate them again as soon as possible.
I have no complaints about the BT broadband service, and I can understand the need for them to use an inexpensive call centre to filter out most of the simple queries, but in situations where the staff do not understand or cannot help they should refer the customer back to someone in the UK qualified to solve the problem.
Solved!

All power to the Mods! I had a letter from Stuart this morning saying he had checked my hub status and that it was queued for activation and that it should happen within 48 hours, but by the time I read his letter it was already activated. He thinks it was a combination of luck and co-incidence, but I blame divine intervention.
So I have marked SJTP’s post as the accepted solution. Thank you.
However, it should not be necessary to resort to these forums and the mods to resolve a problem like this, so I am going to suggest the following to any BT employees who might be interested.
While having a call centre in India is an inexpensive way of dealing with most of the problems raised by BT’s clients, there will always be some problems that are not resolved or are advised badly due to the limited training of call centre staff. At present BT send a customer satisfaction survey after any query of their call centre, but the results are used for their own purposes. What I would suggest is that any unresolved issues at that point should result in the client being given a contact to a UK based technical team so they can have some hope that their issue would be resolved.
This would create a huge boost to BT’s image amongst users and would probably greatly reduce the number of issues on this forum, particularly the ones resulting in negative press for BT.
