Create Authorization Object Field behaving like ACTVT

Former Member — Wed, 16 Mar 2016 09:27:34 GMT

Dear Gurus,

I am currently trying to create authorization object field which should behave like ACTVT. That means when I click to maintain the field, the following window shows up, I can only select some of the values but not inputing free text:

I tried to create authorization object field even directly using the data element from ACTVT (ACTIV_AUTH):

but it still shows window like following (free text input, but not check box):

When I click the search help (F4) button, then I get the following window:

My question is, it it possible to let the field behave eactly like ACTVT? Is it hard coded or I missed something here?

Thanks a lot!

Hello Deming,

I know that you can add ACTVT field to any custom authorization objects with custom activities.

Why are you trying to create another ZACTVT field?

Hello Yüksel,

yes, you are right, it works if I directly use the ACTVT Field.

But my authorization object delivers different content, not ACTVT content. So I need to create a Z-Object.

Hi,

its hardcoded for field ACTVT....

So you need to use ACTVT instead of your Z-field.... But its no problem to use ACTVT in your Z-object.....

Hi Bernhard,

thank for your answer.

What a piece of sad news...

My Z-Object should deliver different content but not ACTVT content... ;-(

Hello Deming,

This link can help.

Can you also explain your need in detail, if doesn't mind?

Hello Yuksel,

thanks for the link. But it does not help me out, it is only general knowledge for authorization objects which documents the process in a good way via an example. Might be useful if my customer needs to understand SAP authorization deeper.

Due to a IT-Redisgn Project, my customer wants to centrally manage all authorizations from different legacy systems in SAP. So I cannot use SAP standard authorization objects to manage those non-SAP authorizations, but I still want to have the benifit which ACTVT brings (no free text input which avoids input errors).

I will try something else to realize it.

Deming
