SOME FIELDS SHOULD NOT SHOWN IN THE REPORT

Question

Hi,
this is to inform you that,  there is a requriment in reporting perspective (ALV),
Requriment:
i have to generate a ALV report which is viewed by our CFO with one t.code, in that report suppose there are 10 fields. 
That is a specific report if some body apart from my CFO uses the same tcode to generate the same report than it has to display only 5 fields.
if my CFO uses the same t.code all the 10 fields must be visible.
please help me how to do it.

balajia.

Answer 1

There are couple of ways to achieve this,
1) - Create 2 variants, 1 variant for CFO with all the fields  & 2nd variant with only relevant fields. Then use the authorization concept, where basis can restrict the access / execution of the report with specific variants.
From the basis view, they create role & assign this variants in one of the object ( not sure). Basis assistance required
2) - When developing report, write the validation for the respective fields such as maintain Customize table in which maintain userID's & fields which they can access. Display only those fields to the userID who executes this report. It should check this customize table for this UserID & only those fields listed should get displayed. ( for all the fields, instead maintaining each field, you can enter "ALL",
Eg: UserID -
Fields
       CFO -
ALL ( report should display all the fields)
     NONCFO-------Field1 | Field2 | Field3 | Field4 | Field5 ( only these fields should get displayed)
Note: In Customize table either you can maintain with User ID or Role. It will be more convinient in future as well.
