authorization object to display specfic layout

Former Member — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 16:30:48 GMT

hi all,

i have an ALV output having some colomns to display.

we have been asked to display some additional colomns apart from existing ones.

1)Bottler Affiliation" 2) SAP Payer Customer" 3) AAG (vbrk-ktgrd) 4) Legacy Bill To Customer" 5)SAP Sold To

Customer" 6)SAP Sold to Customer Name 7)"Legacy Ship To Customer"

colommns 3),6) are the added ones in my case.

what the req is use authorization objects that allow the new columns to be displayed for specfic roles only.

so how to proceed in this case??

Hi,

I'm assuming this is a customer program not a standard one, so I would do the following.

Create a new authorisation object for each column you want to allow/hide

In the ALV program, where you build the field catalogue check each authorisation object

If the object check passes add that column to the field catalogue, if it fails don't add it

Add the authorisation objects to the roles that are permitted to view the columns

Regards,
