Activating Object Services

Former Member — Tue, 12 Dec 2006 03:21:04 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to activate General Object Services for viewing/creating attachments for FI Invoice ( FBV0 transaction ).

I tried assigning the following roles for the user:

SAP_BC_BMT_WFM_ADMIN

SAP_BC_SRV_ARL_ADMIN

SAP_BC_SRV_ARL_USER

SAP_BC_SRV_USER

Still the object services icon is not showing up in FBV0 transaction

Also for few of the users who initially had SAP_ALL role the object services appears even if we remove the role SAP_ALL

Any help on this issue would be appreciated

Regards

Bhooma

Hello Bhooma

I cannot tell where the problem exactly is yet I have a recommendation:

SAP roles (beginning with SAP_...) are not thought to be assigned directly to users. Instead, copy the required roles into the customer namespace (e.g. Z_BC_SRV_USER), change the authorizations (set them to "full authorizations"), generate the profiles and assign these Z-roles to a test user.

Assuming that the roles described by the SAP documentation are sufficient the test user should now have the "Object Services" activated. If not, then there are perhaps customizing or administration (SAP basis) settings missing.

Hi Uwe,

The following conditions are found:

1. User with workflow administration (less than sap_all) authorizations has the Object Services available to the user in FBV0

2. User with SAP_ALL does not have Object Services available in FBV0

The users have been tested with several variations of authorizations on the user that has the Object Services and the user that does not, including granting SAP_ALL and the roles listed above. This does not appear to be an authorization error.

Is there some configuration or inherent controls within SAP that might control this?

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

I found a solution to this issue. The users that I was testing with were not dialog users. The Services for Object for any user will be active only if the user is a dialog user.

Thanks
