Purchasing Group authorization based on the user

Hi All,
Can anyone suggest me ideas on how to restrict in accessing details of a PO for a purchasing group based on the user who tries to access it .
the object is M-BEST_EKG.
need guidance in using AUTHORITY_CHECK in restriciting PO group based on the userid.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ry

Hi,
ACTIVITY controls what user can do to the PO.
01-Create
02-Change
03-Display
EKGRP controls the purchasing group
To restrict to a specific purchasing group, modify the authorization object in the role which user has to allow the specfic P.Grp. only
Cheers !

Hi Roby,
I think you can control authorization using transaction PFCG.
refer below SAP link for details on authorization. May help you.

How to hide iviews based on the user groups?

Hi,
I have a custom role with workset, page and iviews.
The page has 5 iviews.
User group1 can see 5 iviews in the page.
Now user group2 wants see only 3 iviews in the page (same role).
Without creating another role for user group2, How can I hide the iviews based on the user group?
Is this possible?
Thanks
Sundar

Hi Sundar,
I guess to achieve this, you have to set the permissions at iView level.
For this, go to System Admin -> Permissions -> Portal Permissions. Now navigate to your iView using the folder structure, do right-click on the iView and click on Open Permissions.
Search for the particular group and add that and assign the privileges accordingly. You can remove Everyone group from the iView .
Hope this will solve your problem.

Different masterhead image based on the user logged in portal

HI,
Presently we are using standard portal theme.How can I change the image in the masterhead based on the user logged in.How can i change that and i want to assign that masteredhead to users.
Can anybody give me suggesion about this.
Thanks,

Srinivas

Dear Srinivas,
Simple of achiving this kind of scnario is create separate themes for different users and assign the themes to the users in master rule collection through Desktop Page.Here in this case you will be creating one framework page and multiple Desktops and themes.All the desktops will be having the same framework page and different themes based on the user type or group type.
Otherway of achiving this is create an pdk application where it will have multiple jsp components in it and based on the each component create one PAR iview.Let us take if four groups of users then you will be creating four different jsps in pdk application which will inturn contains different masterhead images and related logos.After creating the iview place the iview in the correcsponding framework page below the masterhead iview.Here multiple framework pages and Desktops and you can go with single theme.
In the first scenario the masteread , we are managing through the theme and in second the masterhead we are managing throgh application.
Either of the scenarios can be used to create differet masterheads for different users.
Hope the answer helps you....

Report based on the user profile

Hi,
i'm trying to create a report with Oracle Report6i based on the user profile.
I created a form with many Lovs, so that i can choose the parameter to send to the report (using a java script).
I also would like to send the user that's currently logged in, just in order to filter the output.
How can i use the api wwctx_api.get_user in the java script ?
Thanks.

Hi,
It is not possible to use the api directly in javascript. Maybe you pass it as a parameter to a javascript function.
Thanks,

Data view web part to display the most frequently accessed pages based on the user that is logged in

I am working on a project in which I would like to display the top 5 most accessed pieces of content as links, based on the user that is logged in. Our MOSS 2007 implementation has subsites for all regions that we do business in, as an example North, South, East, and West. When a user visits the North region homepage, I would like a web part to display:
Hello, <username>, here is a listing of your most accessed content:
Link to One
Link to Two
Link to Three
Link to Four
Link to Five
So each user would get a customized list based on their content access. We are not using my sites, but these would not work as we want the list to display on the home page of the region site.
I am thinking that a data view may work here, but I am not sure. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you are running MOSS you may want to take a look at the Relevant Documents web part too.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointserver/HA102410251033.aspx
The Relevant Documents Web Part helps you create a personalized view of the documents that you create, check out, and change. In a large Document Center, the Web Part can save you time and effort by making files easier to find and use. The following figure shows the Web Part:

Formatting a Date based on the user's Locale

I'm having some trouble formatting a date based on the user's locale. I'm aware you can do something like this:
   public static String getAsString( Object dateObject, Locale locale ) {
      DateFormat dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateInstance( DateFormat.MEDIUM, locale );
      return dateFormat.format( dateObject );
However, this is returning something like Jan 21, 2009. I need 01/21/2009. Of course, if this was the UK locale it'd have to be 21/01/2009. Any help would be appreciated.

another issue I'm running into is that when I'm logged in as a users' locale which uses '-' instead of '/' (i.e. 21-01-2009), I get a parse error. Can anyone provide any input? Thanks.
    * Parse a Date
    * @param dateString
    * @param locale
    * @return parsed Date
   public static Object parseDate( String dateString, Locale locale ) {
      DateFormat dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateInstance( DateFormat.SHORT, locale );
      try {
         return dateFormat.parse( dateString );
      catch( Exception exception ) {
         throw new ExceptionUtl( UtlMessageHelper.getMessage( UtlMessageConstants.ERROR_FailedParseDateFromString, dateString ), exception );

   public static String formatDate( Object dateObject, Locale locale ) {

      if( dateFormat instanceof SimpleDateFormat ) {
         SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = ( SimpleDateFormat )dateFormat;
         String pattern = simpleDateFormat.toPattern();
         if( !pattern.contains( "yyyy" ) ) {
            pattern = pattern.replace( "yy", "yyyy" );
         if( !pattern.contains( "dd" ) ) {
            pattern = pattern.replace( "d", "dd" );

         simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat( pattern );

Restrict Org details based on the User in Business partner creation..

Hi Gurus,.
I have to assign Sales Org , DIV, Distribution Channel to the Business Partner in Sales Area data. When I try system shows entire Org structure. But I want the Org structure should be displayed based on the user log on. Assume that, I am assigned to Shangai and creating Business partner for Shangai, the system should not show Beijing or other Org Unit since I belong to Shangai. How to address this scenario thro standard customization?
Is it common problem in CRM Webui(6.0 and 7.0).
My Org Structure:
Global
China
     Shangai
     Beijing
   Nanjing.
Thanks in Advance....

Hi Denis,
   Thanks for your reply. I believe Org determination rule is applicable for Transaction types not for Account Creation. I want to get Sales area data based on login user. It shows complete Sales Area(Sales Org IDDistribution ChannelDivision) when I create an Account.. Assume that you are an employee and assigned to Newyork, when you create New Customer in Newyork, system should not show Boston, Washington Sales areas...Please throw some light on this...
Thanks in Advance.,

Pdfwatermark based on the user who login

Hi,
I wanted to know whether we can apply pdfwatermarking to documents based on the users who logs in?how?
Thanks in advance

I just got your point: you want to determine the rule, not the text in the PDF Watermark itself.
I'm afraid, this is not possible - at least, OOTB. The rules really have criteria based on metadata of the document only - see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e10978/e01_user_if.htm#CACCAGAB
I can think of two ways how this could be resolved:
- text in the template would be so dynamic, that it'd opt to blank if necessary (this requires that PDF templates may accept idocScript, which I do not know if true)
- at the caller side or somehow in the processing of the called service (so that Watermarking is by-passed)
It'd help if you describe your business scenario.
P.S. I've just seen you described your scenario. So, it eliminates the option b) - just check if you can use idocscript in the templates, then.

Authorization for changing the user status

Hi all,
I need to give authorization in such a way that after the initiator has creataed a DIR...:
1. When it goes to the next approval, the person should be only able to change the user status and save.
he should not be allowed to change anything else.
I have tried using different authorization objects but none of them worked. Is there any tcode in DMS for just approving the DIR (changing it to next available user status), similar to release strategy. For ex ME29N for approval of PO (Purchase order) ?
Thanks
Anish

Hi Anish,
Based on your requirement, I would like to suggest to go by workflow to approve the document..
With the help of workflow, you can approve the document in workflow inbox itself (workitem), no need to go to DIR, the status will get automatically change in the DIR.
for this you have to use function mudule (set/get next status).
you can do this by taking the help of Workflow consultant and abap.

Purchase Requisition Authorization based on Storage Location

Hi MM Gurus,
Our client has got a specific requirement to control the security of purchase requsition creation, change and release based on the storage locations. We have found the authorization object M_BANF_LGO which is to restrict the access of PR based on storage location in purchase requsitions.
The issue is the purchase requsition BAPI does not check this authorization object as per standard SAP.
Does anyone know how to handle the security of purchase requsition based on storage location?
FYI - Our PR release strategy is at item level and not at document level.
Thanks,
Shekhar

Thank you for the reply. In case of purchase requsition for cost center, you can still enter the value of storage location. The storage location comes into picture when the goods receipts are posted against this purchase. However, the storage location value can be entered at PR level.
We have storage location field as "Required" field in all purchase requsitions as there is only one plant and each storage location represents the division.
