How to restrict Internal Order master data changes

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We have internal orders that have no Functional Area assigned to it at the beginning of the month, but part way through the month a change is made to the master data and a Functional Area gets assigned to the internal order.  When settlement is run at the end of the month, part of the internal order has a FA blank and part of the internal order has a FA of OPEX or G&A depending on what was assigned in the master data.  This causes an issue because they don't offset.

Typically if no change was made to the master data during the month, all the transactions to the internal order with FA blank would offset and there would be no issues on settlement.

So, how can we control in the system that does not allow changes?.

Thanks

Hi Sanju

If FA is not needed at all in the IO- hide that field in the order type screen layout.

Otherwise, restrict the authorization to someone who understands the criticality of it

Last resort, implement user exit which won't allow to add FA if transaction data exists. You can search for the exits as COOPA* in SMOD
