New version of object popping up on Deletion of T Code

Question

Hi
I removed a Tcode from a role. This Tcode does not have any other object besides S_TCODE. However on exclusion and choosing Expert Option / Read old status and merge with new data, i see that there is a new version of a object has popped up in "NEW". The older version of that object is in the Changed mode.
From this I understand that if a standard object is changed then every time "Read old status and merge with new data" is chosen SU24 is re-read to pull out the standard object...  Am i correct here?
If the above is true then as a standard practice is it right to may inactivate the standard object and manually add that object again or copy that object to bring in a new version of that object.... -
  is this right?
Please advice

Hi Ravi,
When ever you add a new tcode to a role, make sure you add the tcode in the menu of the role so that the role will pull all the authorization objects check/maintained against the tcode.
When you delete a tcode then it will automatically deletes the authorization objects associated with the tcode.
If you do a merge with new authorization data, then the role will get the new authorization objects if newly check/maintained for any tcodes from SU24.
The best practice is to always have standard/maintained authorizations for the authorization objects in the role. Manual additions of authorization objects is not advisable unless if the business requires so.
Please reward points.
