SAP Note 141876 - Authorization checks in asset reporting

Component : Information System -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/141876 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
Asset location discrepancies in SAP reports are influenced by the nature of user authorizations. When users with restricted authorizations observe fewer assets listed in reports compared to users with broader access rights, the underlying cause lies within the system’s performance optimization methods. To address this, the system processes asset selections directly based on the user's displayed authorizations and forgoes post-selection rejection of unauthorized assets. Users should verify asset authorizations using their profile settings and update as necessary. Key authorization objects for Asset Accounting include A_S_ANLKL, A_S_WERK, A_S_GSBER, and A_S_KOSTL, with proper maintenance in PFCG (Role Maintenance) being crucial.
