Investigate - ECC roles for retirement.

I am trying to investigate and find roles that can be retired in the ECC system. How do I come up with a list of roles that are ready for retirement (due to unuse or wrong naming convention, etc,etc)?
What are the questions I should be asking?
I have tried to follow the below approach, but it doesn´t seem to be effective enough:
note- From hereon, when I mention roles, it means Z-Roles only.
Please find the method I used to analysis the issue below:
Requirement:  Investigate - ECC roles for retirement.
(Self made points below)
1. Document all roles in ECC, that have never been assigned to any user.
2. Document all the roles in ECC, that do not have any users assigned to
it since atleast one year.
3. Document all the roles in ECC, that are forbidden to be assigned to
any roles.
4. Document all the roles in ECC, that do not follow the standard naming
convention defined by the organisation.
My question - Should I extend this list?
Analysis:
Transactions used extensively during analysis:
SE16 Data browser
SUIM User Information system
S_BCE_68001425 Roles by Complex Criteria
PFCG Role Maintenence
Tables user extensively during analysis:
AGR_AGRS  Roles in Composite Roles
AGR_DEFINE  Role definition
AGR_USERS  Assignment of roles to users
Actions taken, to reach the solution:
1. Single Roles - Without assignment in the last one year ( There has been no user assignment to these roles for atleast one
year and no changes have been done to the role during this time.
These roles are currently without any user assigned to them.
2.Forbidden roles: These roles are not to be assigned to any users and it
can be strongly recommended that they should be retired.
There are currently no user assignement for this roles.
3. Wrong Naming convention :  Roles that donot follow the
standard role naming conventions (as defined). These roles should be
retired.

Hi..
Last month we did this clean up activity. But after a lot of meandering here and there, like what has been stated, finally i decided to take help of the functional consultants of each module of SAP and removed all unwanted roles - from end users. It was a massive exercise, esp when roles were assigned indirectly,  but finally we could clean up a bit.
But for some reasons, the back end team has kept the roles on the system and roles have not been deleted or completely removed from the system itself. May be as part of 2nd phase of clean up, we would do that.
And also that was the reason why we felt - as to whether it is ok, to make any role as non-editable, and identify it, all those roles in one go, for a direct clean up at a later date. But I was not able to categorize that way.
In case you have some other better ideas of cleaning up the system completely, please share your thoughts too. It would be very helpful.
Thanks

  • SAP Best Practices on assigning roles for Auditors

    Dear Gurus,
    We need to set up SAP roles for auditors in or system for SRM ECC & BI.
    Could you please suggest on wich roles should be granted to the auditors as best practice to follow on?
    I will really apprecciate your help.
    Best Regards,
    Valentino

    Hi Martin,
    Thanks for your interest. I would be very happy to work with folks like you to slowly improve such roles as we find improvement possibilities for them, and all benefit from the joint knowledge and cool features which go into them. I have been filing away at a set of them for years now - they are not evil but still usefull and I give them to an auditor without being concerned as long as they can tell me approximately what they have been tasked to look into.
    I then also show them the corresponding user menu of my role for these tasks and then leave them alone for a while... 
    Anyway... SAP told me that if we host the content on SDN for the collaboration and documentation to the changes in the files, then version management of the files can be hosted externally for downloading them (actually, SAP does not have an option because their software does not support it...).
    I will rather host them on my own site and add the link in the SDN wiki and a sticky forum post link to it than use a generic download service, at least to start with. Via change management to the wiki, we can easily map this to version management of the files on a monthly periodic update cycle once there are enough changes to the wiki.
    How about "Update Tuesday" as a maintenance cycle --> config updates each second Tuesday of the month... to remove authorizations to access backdoors which are more than "just display"...

    Hi Ram,
    See the answers below

    ESOA is not any tool,application or module. Its a methodology/Architecture
    > 2)     What is the relation between eSOA and ECC6.0?
    ECC 6.0 provides some Enterprises Services through enhancement packages.
    > 3)     What is the Scope/Role for Functional Consultants in eSOA?
    FUnctional consultant should know which ENterprise Serrvices are available and which should be developed to carry out a business process.
    > 4)     What I have to learn in eSOA?
    .         Being a technical guy, there are things to be learnt like ESR, implementing designed serivces through ABAP or Java and consuming it. But being a functional guy, only awareness of what enterprise services are available and what they do and their input/output params and how they can fit into a business process is sufficient.
    > 5)     How it is useful for Functional Consultant?
    see above
    > 6)     How it is useful for Customers?
    Customers can move towards Service Oriented Architecture, get flexibility in changing a business process easily, maintaince cost is less

  • Buyer roles for monitoring SUS vendor changes

    Hi,
    We are looking for EP and SUS roles for below scenario
    When supplier admin logs in to SUS via EP portal, he can modify his /
    her company (as part of supplier self service) data such as name,
    contact info etc. Then, buyer can monitor changes done by supplier,
    then he can transfer the changes to ECC. We were looking for roles in
    EP and SUS that will allow buyer to monitor the changes, we tried SRM
    admin role, but it was not pulling vendors modified in SUS. I can
    monitor changes done for Vendor by buyers in SRM via application
    monitor. But, we are having difficulty in identifying a role to monitor
    changes done by supplier in SUS.
    Will you please suggest which EP (front end) and SUS (Backend) roles
    need to be used? Appreciate your help!
    Thanks,

    in tcode PFCG you can drop down the list of available roles as per your requirement and assign them to the users. you have to give the appropriate authorizations. In case you can find the role as per your requirement, then you have to create your own roles and assign them to the users.

  • Income Tax Projection for Retiring Employees

    Hi Folks,
    One of our Employee is getting retired in the month of August, As per SAP,In April-2009 his IT projection happens for the entire financial Year April to March 2010.
    That is his IT projection for APril to March is 5Lakhs, but his actual earnings from April to date of Separation (till august) is 3.5 Lakhs, because of this his Tax liablity from APril to July goes high and in the month of August there is a refund.
    Now for retiring Employees how can we make the IT projection happen only till the month of Retirement.  Is their any standard process available or through custom development.
    Experts Plz advice.
    Rgds,
    Sekar.

    I have personally checked this,  as facing the same problem. AND THIS IS WORKING,  THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION.
    HOWEVER THERE IS ANOTHER SOLUTION ALSO.
    One can create an retirement action,  which has to be executed for all the employees going to retire during the year.
    system will calculate the gross and project the tax only upto the retirement date.
    if exttn is required you can also config the retirement-exten action in case of extension is carried out.
    Rather than touching the standard scheme this is the best way I know?  you can also fetch the reports in the future with the help of standard reports.
    However, if anyone is having any PCR idea, that is also welcome.  Do give me a helping hand by share the same.

  • E-Recruiting 6.0: Business Partner Role For Branches

    Hi Experts,
    In the IMG, SAP E-Recruiting > Basic Settings > Enterprise Structure > Define Business Partner Role for Branches
    Can anyone help in the following:
    1) What is the purpose of Business Partner Role and how does it relate the Branches? Or how can i make use of it?
    2) If i am going to maintain the Company & Branches via the Administrator function instead of IMG, do I still need to configure this step: Define Business Partner Role for Branches
    Thanks.  Will reward points for any helpful tips.
    William

    Hello William,
    the Business Partner is an application / module which belongs to the base components of the SAP. It is used and partly extended by various other applications / modules. Next to E-Recruiting it is used for example by CRM and the financial service solution (FS-CS, FS-PM, FS-RI). All of these modules can put their data for a person or an organization into the same tables. Depending on the installation / system environment or even within one single module the requirements for available fields and business checks as on authorization differ between kinds of business partners (e.g. in FS-CS the commission solution for the financial service sector knows external agents and internal employees which have to be treated differently). The business partner is the element to assign the logical / business role in which a person is handled by the system.
    For E-Recruiting you have 2 kinds of business partners, too. On the one and there are people being candidates and on the other hand there are branches of your company which hire people. The configuration allows you to seperate them if you need to identify anywhen which business partner is a branch and which is a candidate. So far I never tried if this is really working as there is no real use for this I never set it up. The attributes and the business checks are the same anyways.
    Hope that helps a bit to understand the context
    Best Regards
    Roman Weise
    PS: please remember that you have to maintain the branches via administrator bsp application. Using the IMG entry won't work.

  • Roles for Contact Person in MM-SUS Scenario

    Hi !
    When we create a contact person using the Create user option in SUS, we assign the roles to the contact person. These roles are basically the standard SAP roles for SUS. We have created Z-roles ( a copy of the standard roles) to restrict cetain txns for users and would like to assign these Z-roles to the contact person . How can we ensure that the Z-roles are displayed instead of the standard roles ?
    Regards

    Hi
    <u><b>Please go through these complete SUS-MM Configuartion detail links, which will definitely help  -></b></u>
    <u>Roles:</u>
    SAP deliver standard roles with authorisations, if You want to maintain your own go to transaction PFCG.
    There are two type of role:
    - single role
    - composite role - (one or more single roles)
    To roles You can assign transaction codes, reports, URL links, etc. SAP System automatically creates the authorisations that you can set on Authorisations tab page.
    <u>Authorisation:</u>
    Authorization profiles must be generated before you can assign them to users. An authorization is generated for each authorization level in the browser view, and an authorization profile for the whole role as represented in the browser view.

  • Error during create CR for MDGC "Enter a relevant role for creation of customer master data"

    Hello Experts,
    I am unable to create a Customer CR in 'MDG 6.1 Customer UI' , the UI throws an error saying "Enter a relevant role for creation of customer master data".It looks like it is expecting me to mention the BP role ( like FLCU01 Customer or FLCU00 FI Customer ) , but I don't see that BP role section in the Customer UI to mention .
    While creating the vendor CR  , I am able to enter the BP role ( like FLVN01 vendor or FLVN00 FI Vendor ) in the UI BP Role section.
    Following are the UI's for Customer and Vendor
    Customers BS_OVP_BP: BS_OVP_CU > OVP: BS_CU_OVP - I do not see BP role section here.
    Vendors BS_OVP_BP: BS_OVP_SP > OVP: BS_SP_OVP - This is working fine  , I see BP role section here.
    Please advice what I am missing here , what should I do for the successful CR creation . Should I change the UI for Customers or do I need to do anything in CVI configuration.
    Thanks,

    Hi Abdullah,
    You were right in the first place the UIBB is missing  , the UIBB 'Role' was present in the 'Search Customer' page but not available in the 'Create Customer CR' page , so I created the 'Role' UIBB again and was able to create the CR now . Not sure how it got deleted in the first place , is there any options where we reset the UI screen to the default initial configuration
    But after approving the CR , only the Business Partner BP is getting created and the Customer is not getting created . Not sure what might be the issue now. Is there any config that tells to automatically create customer when BP is created. I was able to create Vendor using the create Vendor CR before.
    Thanks

  • Hello Mac Friend, do you have any idea the compatible of 1333Mhz 16GB ecc module for MacPro late 2012 ?

    Hello Mac Friend, do you have any idea the compatible of 1333Mhz 16GB ecc module for MacPro late 2012 ?

    You can spend months developing the expertise to choose exactly the right modules for a one-off purchase of RAM for your Mac.
    Or you can deal with a Mac-centric Vendor who already knows this information and will provide the correct modules for your exact model Mac, and stand behind them, for about the same price. Deal with Vendors who say:
    "It works in your Mac,
    or your money BACK."
    In the US, OWC (at MacSales.com) provides good support
    Many readers recommend crucial, I personally do not.
    I do most of my business with DataMemorySystems.com, as they tell you exactly what they are sending and have slightly better prices than OWC.
    If you are in another part of the world, please respond with what markets are available to you and readers can make additional recommendations.
    EDIT: 16GB DIMMs for this Mac are Registered DIMMs, and are subject to special rules:
    They do not mix with other sizes AT ALL.
    At most 3 modules of this size can be installed on each SIDE (6 total on the 8-core and 12 core)

  • Help Required in Authorization Roles for Workbooks

    Hi All,
    In our project, we have a requirement of creating a role for users with below authorizations.
    1.     Can display and execute the workbooks in the role menu.
    2.     Can create copy workbooks ( Save as) in the role menu.
    3.     Can not delete the original and the copy workbooks from role menu.
    We are using an authorization object S_RS_FOLD with u2018FALSEu2019 for restricting the user from deleting workbooks.
    We also need to add one more object S_USER_AGR (without u2018Deleteu2019 property) to give the authorization of creating copy workbooks in the role menu.
    Object S_RS_FOLD this is working fine without S_USER_AGR. But after adding S_USER_AGR (without delete property), user is again able to delete the workbooks.
    So how can we achieve both the functionalities where user can not delete the workbook but can create copy workbooks in the role menu.
    Thanks,
    Sachin

    Re: Adding report (query & workbook, templates) in roles
    Go through this thread.
    And in our Project we have created one role for accessing workbooks. in that end user can access the work book but saved one and user cannot resave or delete the work book.
    we have added Auth objects S_TCODE and S_GUI.
    in S_TCODE we have added RRMX and in S_GUI we have given 60(IMPORT) access to the users.
    So that they can just share the workbook. nothing else can be done.
    Try like this. Hope this would help you.
