Restricting GL master change at account group level

Hi Experts,
Requirement
To control GL MAster field layout per company code or per account group and per activity.
To restrict GL master change, for certain fields, at account group level.
Let us say, I have activated "Post Auto" in a GL Account during GL creation.
Now while changing the GL, the system should not allow me to change this particular field.
Analysis
This is possible through transaction OB26 (Define Screen Layout for Each Transaction).
However the limitation of the above transaction is that it is applicable for all the account groups for a particular activity (Create/Change/Display).
I do not want to use any development to make this happen.
Please help me in solving this through standard SAP.
Cheers,
Nitish

Hi,
You can make the account group specific field status setting in OBD4.
And you can make the activity specific setting in OB26.
Then SAP will take the field status out of the two above based on highest priority. The priorities are (starting with the highest):
- Hide
- Display
- Required entry
- Optional entry
Fields which are accessed with the transaction master record display are always either displayed or hidden, since you cannot make an entry in a "display" transaction.
If you do not want to use the transaction-specific control, set the field status for all fields to optional. Since this field status has the lowest priority, the account group-specific control is always used.

Gaurav

Restrict FI postings from FB60 at vendor account group level

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement whereby the authorization for posting from T-Code FB60 should be controlled at vendor account group level (LFA1-KTOKK).
We are also fine with restrictions at vendor master authorization group level (LFA1-BEGRU/BRGRU).
So a particular user should be able to post to a vendor in acct grp A but not acct grp B from FB60.
However, it seems that T-Code FB60 checks only objects BKPFBLA, F_BKPF_BUK, F_BKPF_GSB, F_BKPF_KOA.
Neither of the above 2 fields are available in these 4 objects.
In case you have a solution for restricting FB60 postings, please reply.

Hi.
In vendor maser data you can maintain LFB1-BEGRU='vendor group', and check it in F_BKPF_BEK-BRGRU

How to change the account group of a customer master?

Would like to change Ship-to's to Sold-to's. I know the transaction XD07, but when trying to promote a SH to SP, I receive the error
The planned change is not allowed as the following field groups would be masked by the new account group.
Below the error the table displays Group Name PO Box City and Address.
How do i bypass this and successfully change the ship-to to a sold-to?

Hi ,
Chek out ur new account group for Sold to party ,whether all the fields in address tab is marked either optional /required. It should not be in display /supress mode then only u can successfully change ur SH account to SP account.
I think , Number ranges should be same.
if itz not da same number range system will give the message ,but it will allow to change the account group.
As I successfully worked in this issue earlier.
As we all know, we only change the account group from lower to heigher,
ie. sh,bp,py to SP only not viceversa.

Change customer Account Group

Hi Experts,
We have two different account groups with different number Ranges. When i try to change the customer account group from one to other through XD07 system given the following warning message.
Customer 600021 not in External Sold-to-Party
- number range 0000100001-0000199999
Message number F2691
We have tried to change this warning message in to Error message through OBMSG and OBA5
after that also system showing warning message.
Where we do mistake? is there any other process to do the changing message?

Hi,
If You are trying to change the account group of a customer whose partner function is Sold-to-party.
Changes to the account group and the relevent partner functions only made from lower level to higher level.
Example:
Sold-to-party cannot be assigned the function of a payer(Higher level to lower level) because you are trying to change the higher level partner function.
Your can assign sold-to-party function to a payer (Lower level to higher level) because you are trying to change lower level partner function.

Change vendor account group

Hi All,
Is there anything I need to check before changing vendor account group (with different number ranges) in XK07. User has selected account group wrongly and also posting done for those vendors.
I think there would be no effect in open items.
Thanks,
Vishal

Dear Mr. Visal,
please be so kind to review the documentation regarding the transaction XK07:-
"Changes to the account group and the accompanying partner functions
can only be made from a lower level to a higher level. For example,
this means that a sold-to party cannot be assigned the function of a
payer as fields which have already been maintained for this sold-to
party would have to be masked. However, you can assign the sold-to
party function to a payer."
Therefore, you can change from an account group with fields set as
not visible to optional fields. However, if you are trying to change
an account group with optional fields to other account group with any
of this fields invisible, the system will give you the error message
"You cannot make this change because the new account group
   results in the following field groups being switched off:"
And you will not be able to change the account group. This will happen
although you have not updated a value for these optional fields.
Really it depends on which is the field you want to change; there are
some fields that could produce some data inconsistency (reconciliation
account, withholding tax data, and so on).
Please consider that the account group controls the successing
screens and field layout plus it controls whether the numbering
should be internal or external.
Please take in consideration all the above information before doing it.
I hope this can help You.

How to restrict header text changes in sales order level

Dear Experts,
how to restrict header text changes in sales order level change mode
thanks

Hello Chandu,
how to restrict header text changes in sales order level change mode
In order to restrict changes to Sales Order Header Text, the appropriate User Exit would be USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_TVCOM_H. With the help of ABAPer, you can include the simple logic on the basis of Header Text type such that whenever any changes are incurred on the Sales Order header text, updates would be prevented.
Please try out this approach and let us know your latest observation on this issue.

Effects of changing Customer Account Group

Hi everyone!
What can be the effects of changing the account group of a customer code?
The customer code that will be changed already have some transactions but we need to change the account group.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Ricardo
Firstly changes in the account group and all partner functions can be made from lower group to higher group e.g. Sold to Party cant be given a payer role as this role is an existing role for Sold to Party
However you can assign the Sold to party to a Payer ..hope this is clear so u can change only <b>Ship to , Bill to & Payer</b>
The only implication which i see is if the customer is created for more than one Company code/Sales Area its better to block the customer until the customer is maintained for all company codes.
Hope this helps
Cheers

Changing Vendor Account group

If the account group was set up incorrectly and did not get noticed until there was master data against the account- what can be done to correct the situation?
Thanks
raj

Hello Rajendra,
You wanted to know what to do so I replied accordingly.
btw, the Account groups determine:
- The type of number assignment (So if the new account group has the same number then I dont think it will impact),
- A number range for assigning account numbers
- Which fields are displayed and whether their entry is optional or required (field status) when you enter or change vendor master data (You need to take care for manatory field for new account group).
- Whether the account is for one-time vendors (I dont think it will get affect)
Rest of the thing will be fine.
Try to change it and see if it throws error for any data inconsistancy.
Hope this helps.

However, once I enter the account group (ABCD) to which it needs to be changed to, I get below information.
"you cannot make this chage because the new account group results in the following field groups being switched off".

Restrict material master information at the field level

We have a requirement to restrict change access to certain material master fields, meaning everyone may be able to view the data but not change it. Beyond that, those people who are allowed to change the data can only change certain fields...other people can change other fields (on the same material master view). For instance a simple example would be that someone might have access to change the material description on the basic view but not the material group. Someone else might have access to change the material group but not the description. (Again, this is just a scenario that I'm using as an example, not as a real live case.)
Is it even possible to do this? I'm guessing it's not but I thought I'd ask the "experts" here before I deliver the bad news to our users.
Thanks!

Thank you for the information but I was aware of using screen sequence and field selection however how can I use this to allow certain users access to certain fields but not others.
For example in the Basic view I want one set of users for the same exact material to be able to change the Base of Unit Measure while the other user can only view this field but not change it however this user can change the other fields in the Basic view. This sounds like a solution for all fields for a particular materials. I need to be assign fields within a view to different users.

Change Vendro Account Group

Hello everyone,
Can someone tell me if it's possible to change the Vendor account group after the vendor has already been created.
I already tried transaction XK02, but that isn't the solution.
If it is possible, can someone help me. If it isn't possible, can someone explain why it isn't possible.
Thanks in advance!

Hi
