Query on Evaluation Path

[Former Member]

Hi,

In the transaction OOSP while creating structural authorizational profiles we come across a term called Evaluation Path.

Please provide the significance of the same?

Our scenario:

We have to add a custom evaluation path to our structural profile to be created. Kindly let me know how to creat the same.

Thanks,

Hi,

There must be a reason for creating custom evaluation path so it is impossible to tell how to do it without knowing why custom evaluation path is requried. There is plenty of good reasons to have custom evaluation path but if the custom evaluation path is made wrong way it will explode the size of structural profiles.

There is plenty of material available in Internet regarding evaluation paths, I found plenty of good links using google search 'sap create evaluation path'. Evaluation Path is a chain of relationships between objects. HR objects are stored to table HRP1000 and relationships between the objects are in table HRP1001. You can browse different objects using tcode PP01. You have to understand different relationships between different objects before you can create an evaluation path in transaction OOAW.

Hi Saku,

Thanks for that response.

Our scenario is as follows:

We have two org units (Org Unit 1 and Org Unit 2) and respective managers (MGR1 and MGR2) for each units. We want to give structural authorzation to MGR1 such that he is able to access only Infotype 0008 (Basic Pay) of those employees belonging to Org Unit2.

We have given the Manager MGR1 access to a role which contains read access to the infotype 8. But still this Manager MGR1 is unable to view Basic pay of his own employees in Org Unit 1 itself. We want this Manager MGR1 to view Basic Pay details of both the Org Units as mentioned above.

Please let us know how to implement the above scenario using structural authorization.

Thanks,

Hi Sriram,

I don't think you need custom evaluation path for this. You might want to activate context solution for this requriement. Have a look at the help.sap.com documentation regarding [context solution|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/7f/1a7d3c8015d10ee10000000a11405a/frameset.htm].

Using context solution you can create two structural authorisation profiles and then link infotype access to specific structural profile using P_ORGINCON object instead of P_ORGIN.
