SAP Note 551971 - BW reporting authorizations in BPS

Component : Business Planning and Simulation -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/551971 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note explains the usage of BW reporting authorizations in SEM-BPS at two key points: data reading from InfoCubes and in BPS variables with 'authorization' replacement type. For effective use, users must ensure that the ACTVT field is included in authorization objects to differentiate between display and change permissions. Also, while hierarchy authorizations need to be checked for subtree access, BW variables can enhance planning scenarios by using user exits for custom data tables. It's important to note that authorization dimensions can lead to discrepancies in BW variables, reflecting all authorized characteristics regardless of differing activity permissions.

Key words :
replacement type user exit, terms bps0 solution, customer-specific table, blocked plan versions, replacement type 'authorization', planning package directly, 'normal' authorization objects, planning data separately, include field actvt, actual planning data
