P_PERNR problem

Question

Hi,
I have some problem in object P_PERNR. Hope someone can help me with the following scenario.
One of my client needs ESS/MSS. My problem is that in the portal, there is an option for employee to be delegated the position of manager when his/her manager is not around. We need to restrict that the employee will not be able to approve his/her own request when he/she is in the position of manager.
To make it clear, here is the detailed description. Employee A would like to request for Leave (IT2001). Once the request is made, the request will be sent to employee A's manager for approval. If the manager is not around, Employee A can be delegated the task of manager. However, we would like to restrict that Employee A would not be able to approve the leave application which he/she make earlier.
I understand that this can be done through object P_PERNR. However, I have tried a lot of combination but I still end up with the same. Can anyone help?

Hi Sean,

Although the structural authorization example will work, there's a simpler way. For the ESS users, you must assign the authorization object P_PERNR for the infotypes (and subtypes) and that you want them to see only their own data for, and make sure you do not assign them P_ORGIN for those infotypes.
Before P_PERNR is effective, though, you must activate the authorization check for this object. You do this with transaction OOAC, changing the value for AUTSW PERNR to 1.
P_PERNR comes into play when a user tries to access infotype data against their own personnel number. For other personnel numbers, P_ORGIN is used.
