COPA authorization by sales office

[former_member221048]

Dear Experts

In my COPA environement we have many branches each branch is a cost center and sales office (one to one relation). In my KE30 report I want Mangers of each sales office to see their report only. In KE37 we are able to retrict users by company code but was unable to restrict by sales office. If I select the sales office in KE37, the users will be restricted if (*) is selected for sales offices, but if I choose one sales office the report will not be executed. I tried to develop a report where the sales office will be variable and should be selected in the KE30 report screen like compnay code,  and period but I failed. Any input please.

Regards

Hello Ahmed,

Please review and implement note 165087.

As soon as you created your own authorization objects in transaction
KE37 or KE97 and assigned it to a certain user the system checks the
user's authorization before he or she executes a report in transaction
KE30 or KE24.

Please read the description in transaction ORKE: > Tools > Authoriza-
tion Management > CO-PA-Specific Authorization Objects:
- Define Authorization Objects for the Information System (Text button
   on the left).

Please also review and implement note 165087.

In order to analyze this issue please check the authorizations for the
relevant user in transaction SU01 and which authorization objects are
checked when this user execute transaction KE24 (> run a authorization
trace; transaction ST01).

Please ask your authorizations guy to check the customizing of the
authorization object again (on the basis of the documentation in
transaction ORKE and the authorization trace in transaction ST01).

Best regards,

Ronghua Fan
