Linking a role to multiple positions

Hi,
I need to link a role to a number of positions. I have tried creating an LSMW using transaction PO13, but I can't get it to work.
Can someone advise of a way I can link a role to multiple positions or advise of an alternative transaction that works better with LSMW.
Thanks,

I'm assuming you would like to automate the process of assigning role/roles to multiple positions. Use SECATT for transaction PO13.

SAP IDM position based security with user in multiple positions

Hi,
In case of Higher Duties, we have a scenario where a user can have multiple positions with access to the business roles of both the positions.
The design is to have one business role assigned to one position so that the user can have all the access he requires.
In case of higher duties, we see an exception.
Has anyone implemented such a scenario?
Inputs/advices are much valued.
Thanks

Hi Chaitanya,
Is it possible to assign more than one position to an employee in HCM?
If so, there is many ways of dealing with that from IDM side, I don't know precisely your business requirement, what you need to maintain and what should be dynamic, but i can suggest you to :
1. Translate every position you receive from HR to a Business role and assign as many Business roles you want to the same user.
From HCM you will receive :
Employee :
- Z_POSITION_ID1 :1
- Z_POSITION_ID2 : 2
In IDM
Employee
- Member of BR1
- Member of BR2
2. If you have a lot of attributes related to HR position on user (link user-position) to maintain , then create a custom Object in IDM (entrytype Z_POSITION).
You wil be able to manage relations much easier than a simple relation (One-to-one attribute)
Otherwise, It worth to look over this blog for general design of HCM integration :

SAP R/3 : Indirect Role assignments - Is position unique to every user?

Hi.
While am exploring /learning SAP R/3 roles and auth, I would appreciate if I could get clarity on the following :
This link on SDN on Indirect role assignments are very informative.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/f03e6f6c-8c16-2a10-1581-ed8812e2effe
This link is also more explanatory : http://my.affinitext.com/public/book/5442/-1/1423831
So if my understanding is correct, it is better to assign roles - indirectly by position, so that if an employee's position changes, his role can be removed, based on position again ??? And somewhere we are linking with infotype 105.
My only doubt is : if we are going to assign roles by position and remove the roles by position, so that as the position of an employee changes, the previous roles become null and void and new roles can be assigned as per new position.
So would like to know :
as to whether this position number which we see from PA20, is unique to every user on the system ?
So that, if there is a need to remove a role based on postion, we could remove the role from PO13;
BY doing that, then will it not affect other users ?
Can somebody help me understand this.
Because if i want to see the effect immediately, if i go to PFUD and put the role name and say execute, i see that the role which was removed from PO13 is gone immediately from the user.
Many thanks
Indu

GOT IT THANKS.
Hi Prashant.
Good morning and wishes.
Can you please help me understand this.
I understand from HR person that position is uniquely defined (from hire to retire)
and roles are generally given based on position.
However, I see a person : whose roles have been assigned as per position all these years.
He had 2 roles in project A. He now moved into a different project B.
But. when i check, i still see the roles - reflecting on SU01 & well as in the tab of user of the role X under pfcg.
BUT when i check PO13 - and put the position / relationship and say overview.
I dont see the roles at all there.
Why this is so. Why the discrepancy on different screens.
Also How can I get a confirmation that - these roles are actually removed and is not there for the user.
Rather.
How could the removal of roles based on position become completely effective on the system.
So that all screens display the same information.
Also would like to know - whether it is ok to remove the role expiry date directly from PFCG/ROLE Display/user tab/select user/
and then make the role invalid or expired / or extend the expiry.
Many thanks.
Indu

the cursor includes a text box from a previous image or link when the cursor is positioned on the side of the page. it will mainly happen when i hit "back" from the page i was on. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. i also keep several tabs open and it will carry over to any one of them i go to. how do i get rid of this?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

A number of extensions can cause that problem, you'll need to do a little troubleshooting to find out which extension is causing that to happen for you.

Multiple Positions for One Employee (OrgChart Campaign)

I am trying to determine if the OrgChart campaign offering will meet the needs of my client. They have an interesting setup where they assign one employee to multiple positions (example: 50% to one position, 50% to another position, etc). I want to confirm that the OrgChart campaign offering will pick this up and reflect each position and its holder even if the holder is represented in another org unit attached to another position. I assume this is possible since it uses the O-S-P relationship search but since we have trouble with some of the standard SAP reports returning only one position I just wanted to check.
Thank you!

Hi there,
Before I start you may wish to use TVN OrgChart 2.1 which was recently released on Service Marketplace as it contains all the functionality of the Accelerated Campaign offering with a bit more functionality and some bug fixes from TVN2.0.
OrgChart's standard functionality in this area is to show a node (box) for each position. Where two or more people sit in the same position it shows a node for each of these employees.
In your scenario where a person sits in two positions within different orgunits, OrgChart will represent this as two nodes - one in each orgunit.
I hope that helps!

Signatures at multiple positions in the PDF

Signatures at multiple positions in the PDF. This is mainly a Verification & Validation document,
where signatures will be applied for each Test case present in the document(4 to 5 signatures in a single page).
We have observed that applying a signature for one place involves lots of steps and saving of file each time.
This leads to lot of effort when we have to perform 500+ signatures for a single document.
So do we have any mechanism to get the pre-stored signature with a single button?
Note:
We are using Acrobat 11(Adobe Reader 11)
Steps that we are using for getting a signature are:-
Precondition:(Steps involved in creating Signature)
Steps involved in placing the signature:(It will be performed each time a signature is placed)
Click on Place the Signature button
Identify the location for the signature
Enter the password
Click on OK
Save the file
Thanks
Deepak

From the steps that you described it looks to me that you are using digital signatures. As TSN already noted digital signatures apply to the whole document, not to individual parts of it (like specific pages). The signature appearance exists just as a visual aid to make it obvious for the reader of the document that it is signed. It does not matter on which page a signature appearance is placed.
You can automate the process of signing the document with multiple signatures with JavaScript if you know ahead of time which signing credentials you want to use for each signature, where to place it and with which name to save. To do that you need to be familiar with the JavaScript programming and Acrobat JavaScript API (it is part of the Acrobat SDK which you can download from adobe.com). You can also Google "Acrobat JavaScript API" for more info on specifics.

DTW : How to link an invoice to multiple delivery (BaseEntry or other)?

Hello experts,
With DTW, How to link an invoice to multiple delivery (BaseEntry or other)?
In other words, How to link a target document to more than 1 of base documents, can i use 2 or 3 numbers in BaseEntry, to readjust the quantity exceeding problem found in the existing system.
Regards,
Hafid

Gordon,
Yes effectively. this detail efcaped me even though I knew it. I thought otherwise. When an invoice is based on two deliveries for the same item and this invoice contains a single line grouping the 2 quantities, I forgot that it's 2 different lines of the same item.
Example:
Delivery No 1 | Item A | quantity: 1000
Delivery No. 2 | Item A | quantity: 600
Invoice No. 1 based on delivery No 1 & 2 | Item A | Quantity: 1300
Thank you, now my vision is clear

Multiple position for one central person and one user

Dear Guru's,
I have a requirement to create multiple position for a existing User - which already has CP Central Person and S Position.
How to create this new position and assign the same CP to all the new positions ?
Thanks and regards,
Anil Rajpal

Hi
Yes you can definitely do this
Create the new position and assign the CP to this position in transaction PPOME. You may find the position first there in PPOME, and then drag-drop the CP over the position to make the assignment. System will ask the percentage of responsibility.......which you will ve to enter...

'BBPSC11' error in Monitor SC for one User having multiple positions but on

Hello,
'BBPSC11' error in Monitor SC for one User - having multiple positions in org structure - but having one BP code associated to all positions.
We have one BP ID associated to multiple positions of the same user - in multiple org structure.
The org unit is refered as one Project and like wise we have multiple projects people worked on.
Once the Proj is over we move the Users from one Proj (Org unit) to another Proj, with new Position created copying the old and associate old BP code to it.
With this when we go for Monitor SC option - enter User ID in Created By field - old SC are listed but we are getting error if we click on the Detail icon.
Error:The Internet Transaction Server could not start the transaction "BBPSC11" because of the following error: Attribute for user contains errors. Inform systemadmin. .

Hi,
Pl. verify the user with txn-bbp_attr_check. It could be that the org. relationship of the user changed with what was captured on shopping cart. Also use txn-users_gen to repair the user.

The "clipboard" service for copy and paste between applications on a PC is usually a built-in function of the operating system - Mac, Windows, Linux, etc. There are applications available for extending the clipboard feature; I use one named Clip Trakker which allows me to save multiple "text clips" of ''[say]'' text from the internet which are saved in Clip Trakker, and then paste each of those "text clips" into a different program like Word ''[I actually use Libre Office]''.
I am not familiar with applications for Mac OSX, so I can't make any recommendations about an application.
As far as extensions for Firefox, there are many extensions that come up in a [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=clip&appver=any&platform=all search for "clip"] at the Add-ons Mozilla Org website. You can look to see if you can find any that will do what you want to do, like maybe this one:

PCP: budget split for employees on multiple positions

Dear experts,
I have a question concerning the use of the Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation module (PA-CP) to determine budgets for Org. Units containing employees that are on multiple positions.
When running the Personnel Cost Plans for the Org. Units that contain such employees, the Cost Items associated to the employee are u201Csplitu201D between the positions, according to the percentages of the relationships S-P. However, the client desires that the Cost Item for the employee is completely assigned to his main position (the one displayed in infotype 0001). Is it possible to do so in this module?
In the u201Coldu201D PCP module (PA-CM-CP), there was a parameter switch in table T77S0 (group PCOST, field MULTP) that controlled whether or not multiple assignments were taken into account in Cost Planning. However, this switch does not work with the new module, and I havenu2019t found a corresponding switch for it.
Is there a corresponding switch for the u201Cnewu201D module? If not, how could we implement this requirement?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Denis

Hi,
I am not sure if the below solution would work for the charts also but you can give a try to it. The below solution works well
to restrict the no. of rows in blocks.
Create a variable as:
v Test = Floor(Rowindex()/20)
so as to return integers when RowIndex() returns multiple of 20's.
Now, follow the following steps:
1. create block with Employee, Sales.
2. Create Section on Store and Sub-Section on the variable v Test created above.
3. Check results. If you get the required results then turn the block into chart.
Hope it helps you.

Rohit

Restricting allocation of a person to multiple positions at 100%

Hi,
Currently the inbuilt feature in SAP allows us to allocate a person to multiple positions even beyond 100%.
I want to allot a person to multiple positions upto 100% only, How can I RESTRICT the system from allocating to more than 100% for multiple positions. Thanks,
Regards,
Sridhar.

Hi there. It looks like you might be able to do this through relationships. In the IMG, go to Personnel Management --> Organizational Management --> Basic Settings --> Data Model Enhancement --> Relationship Maintenance --> Maintain Relationships. Check the help for this node. It sounds like you can change time constraints and weighting options here. Unfortunately I don't have authorization for this node in our system, so I can't look at the actual transaction that it takes you to. I hope this helps.

Deleting roles from multiple users simultaneously

I need to delete all of the roles from multiple users and I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to do it simultaneously other than a Mercury script(it wont take the roles away that are lower than the initial 20)?

Hi there,
there could be easier ways to do it, but this is how I'd go about it if I didn't want to go to each user ID.
Get a list of all roles assigned to your users you want to restrict from SUIM (display the list of users via tcode S_BCE_68001400). Click on the 'roles' button and it will pull up a list of all the roles assigned to those users. Extract and save that).
Filter the list so you have only one entry of each role name.
Then go to SU10, enter in all your user IDs to change and go to the role tab, enter the unique list and put wide dates on it say from 01.01.1995 - 31.12.9999 (you want them earlier than the earliest role 'valid from' date and later than the latest role 'valid to' assignment).
Click the 'Remove' box and save and you should have all roles removed.
Good luck with it.
Cheers,
Dianne

Incorrect authorization when assigning a role to 2 positions

I am assigning a role in role manager (/isdfps/role_manager) to 2 different positions in the org structure. Position 1 has plant 1000 and position 2 has plant 2000. User A is assigned to position 1 and user B is assigned position 2. When user A signs on he gets access to plant 2000 instead of plant 1000. It appears that whatever the last position the role was assigned to is what the user has access to when he signs on. The user should get access to whatever org values he has in the org structure. Appreciate any help.
Bob

Kiran,
Thanks for the response. This problem is in ECC 6.0. We are using the organization structure to populate the org levels. A role is assigned to a position in the org structure and the corresponding org values are populated. You are supposed to be able to assign the same role to many positions in the org structure. The problem is that the org values of the last position that you assign the role to are what is populated. If user A has plant 2000 and user B has plant 3000 in the org structure that is what they should have in their user buffer at sign on. The problem is that both user A and user B have plant 3000. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Bob
