SAP Note 400434 - Authorizations in APO demand planning

Component : Demand Planning -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/400434 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note elaborates on the authorization concepts employed within APO Demand Planning, detailing the use of numerous authorization objects for access control and activity regulation across diverse APO components. For DP, objects like C_APO_MAC and C_APO_ADV govern macro-related actions, C_APO_TLAN manages transportation lane permissions, and C_APO_FUN and C_APO_ADVN handle SDP functions and macro names respectively. Additionally, it discusses authorization details for planning books (C_APO_PB), selection in planning areas (C_APO_SEL3), master data access (C_APO_LOC, C_APO_PROD), and planning versions (C_APO_VERS). Authorization checks are facilitated via the function module /SAPAPO/MCP_PERMISSION_CHECK2, with customization options through USER EXIT EXIT_/SAPAPO/SAPLMCPR_015. The note also specifies conditions where standard authorization objects do not suffice and the use of user exits is obligatory, particularly in scenarios involving complex characteristic checks in interactive planning sessions.
