R12 Creation of Custom Responsibilities

Question

Hi,
We are currently on R12 with a single org setup and and have a requirement to create custom resp. to control user access.
Pls. let me know if creation of custom menus, sub menus, request groups is the right option OR menu, function exclusions a better option.
When compared to 11i does R12 require any additional setups apart from New Resp, Menu, Submenu, Functions, Request Groups, Profile Options..?
Any metalink note Id which discusses detail of creation of custom resp. in R12 will be of great help.
Thanks

Answer 1

Hi,
The only way you can restrict an user to do certain activities only by defining multiple custom responsibilities... e.g.. A user should not have the privilege to do setups in the system.. He is authorised to do trxs only.. for that you define a Responsibility like "Inventory User" and exclude "setup" function/menu while defining the Responsibility... Now assign this resp to the user..By using this he will be able to do trxs only but he can't do setup or setup changes in Inventory module...
Your question:  Pls. let me know if creation of custom menus, sub menus, request groups is the right option OR menu, function exclusions a better option.
To my know knowledge menu, function exclusion is a better option….
Inventory Responsibilities (e.g.)
==============================================================
Name: Application: Responsibility Key: Description: Effective Start date: Data Group Name: Data Group Application: Menu: Request Group Name: Request Group Application: Read Only Access Exclusions: (Menu) Exclusions: (Menu) Exclusions: (Function) Exclusions: (Function) Exclusions: (Function)
==============================================================
EU_INV_CZE_CLERK_1 Inventory EU_INV_CZE_C1 EU_INV_CZE_CLERK_1 1-Jan-90 Standard Inventory INV_CLERK_1 All Inclusive GUI Inventory Manage Shipments Corrections
EU_INV_CZE_CLERK_2 Inventory EU_INV_CZE_C2 EU_INV_CZE_CLERK_2 1-Jan-90 Standard Inventory INV_CLERK_2 All Inclusive GUI Inventory INV_CYCLE_COUNTING Manage Shipments Corrections
EU_INV_CZE_CLERK_3 Inventory EU_INV_CZE_C3 EU_INV_CZE_CLERK_3 1-Jan-90 Standard Inventory INV_CLERK_3 All Inclusive GUI Inventory Miscellaneous Transaction
EU_INV_CZE_SUPERVISOR Inventory EU_INV_CZE_SUPV EU_INV_CZE_SUPERVISOR 1-Jan-90 Standard Inventory INV_NAVIGATE All Inclusive GUI Inventory INV_SETUP INV_KANBAN Launch Cost Update Standard Cost Update
Above supervisor resp will restrict user not do setups and he can't do cost update
**EU_INV_CZE_Super User* Inventory EU_INV_CZE_SU EU_INV_CZE_ Super User 1-Jan-90 Standard Inventory INV_NAVIGATE All Inclusive GUI Inventory Launch Cost Update Standard Cost Update_
Above super User resp will allow user do setups in Inventory but he can't do cost update as Supervisor resp
EU_INV_CZE_Setup View Inventory EU_INV_CZE_SUVO EU_INV_CZE_ Setup View 1-Jan-90 Standard Inventory INV_SETUP All Inclusive GUI Inventory Yes
Question-2_
When compared to 11i does R12 require any additional setups apart from New Resp, Menu, Submenu, Functions, Request Groups, Profile Options..?
Ans : No… since you are setting up resp for a single org now.
Hope this will help.
Thanks,
