Displaying technical names

Former Member — Tue, 19 May 2009 10:19:10 GMT

Hi,

Is there a way to display technical names of the organizational levels in PFCG. I understand that we can display technical names of the auth objects using utilities -> technical names on. I want to be able to display the technical names when I click on the organizational levels button. for example in the org levels screen, I want to be able to see BUKRS instead of company code. Please help. thanks

Hi.

You should already be able to see the organisational field in the authorization object.

See this image:

You should also see that the field is organizational by the $sign.

But, when you have many field it can be hard to know which field is what. So to find the field from the name you simply do:

Open the Organisational popup.

Put the cursor on a line and press F1.

Then you get the Performance Assistant

Here you press the Technical informationbutton according the image:

Now you see the name of the field.

Thanks very much for all your replies. As suggested by Frederick, I searched for the text in the Auth objects page and tracked the technical name for the object. Avinash..you are hillarious!!

Actually, we do have a functionality "wish list" in the security wiki - where good ideas and popular requests for features can be documented.

Whether it will be provided is a different story, but it is better than hoping in the dark or unnoticed rants...

Cheers,
