Hi Experts,

I worked with AUTHORITY_CHECK_TCODE, AUTHORITY_CHECK_DATASET, AUTHORITY_CHECK_VIEW function modules, fine..........but, I got a requirement from SECURITY guys, which asks me to do.........

"The program Z_my_prog_for_creating_POs(this prog. basically, creates the POs-purchase orders) needs to include authorization objects that provide restrictions on activity, organizational level, etc. "

1- I do not know wht does it mean?

2 - Wht func modules i hv to use to meet this requitement?

replies appreciated

You have to use.

AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'X_XXXX_XXX'

ID 'ACTVT' FIELD 'XX'.

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

" Has authorization"

Else.

" Has No authorization"

Endif.

How do you create the POs?

With batch input or call transaction, all checks of the standard transaction (ME21 or ME21N) are processed, no need to code your own.

Same might be true for direct input programs or BAPIs, but you should double check.

that 'X_XXX_X' can be created using Tr su21 and create/ add in a appropriate object

Yes, when you set NO_AUTHORITY to space (default value), then the BAPI will perform the relevant authority checks, also on organizational level (according to online documentation of BAPI_PO_CREATE1).
