Summary :
This SAP Note addresses the application of the "Responsibility Area" authorization logic introduced in Release 4.0, particularly how it impacts transactions and authorization checks across modules like CO. Starting with Release 4.0, users can define authorization for grouped objects through the new "Responsibility Area", which simplifies hierarchy-based authorizations. Detailed scenarios describe authorization checks for various cases including different hierarchy nodes and group maintenance scenarios for standard and non-standard objects. Also included are instructions for configuring custom hierarchies through transaction OKKP, reflecting system changes post-Release 4.5 and leading up to Release 4.70's enhancements that support up to three hierarchies with inheritance mechanics.
