I want to disable "Release" option under Edit->Status->"RELEASE" in CJ01

[Former Member]

Hi Folks,

I want to disable "Release" option under Edit->Status->"RELEASE" in CJ01. Please help me to identify the exact object for this. I did took the trace and captured C_PRPS_* objects, but these were not helping me to disable "Release" option.

Please suggest/help.

Thanks & Regards

Hi, you can do it via Status. tcode OK02. Create status, select Object-WBS element, thendouble click on,New enteries ,and tick Release-Forbided

Hi Alex,

Does B_USERSTAT authorization object controls this? I remember once we had an issue where B_USERSTAT is not maintained and the user was not able to release.

I hope this way, we can restrict in the specific role, not at the global level. Correct me if my views are wrong.

Hi, yes,may be, but status profile you can assign to WBS,network, and project.

In this case you can exclude some WBS,projects from forbidden operation via master data

So it's functionality more flexible.

But if required to restrict SOME users to release then it's better to do it via authorization

Alex,

I am not able to follow the options you mentioned in OK02. I was able to create a Status Profile but could not select WBS-Project. Do u mean to say that we need to include some WBS / Project under a status and then look for options to forbid the same. Kindly elaborate.

(Or)

Is there any way to forbid this in CJ02 itself - like any particular object related to activity for "release" which we may not assign to user.

Awaiting your inputs eagerly,

Hi,

Simple solution is to restrict at authorization object B_USERSTAT. Try to restrict at this level.

hi,

"but could not select WBS-Project"-why?

"mean to say that we need to include some WBS / Project under a status and then look for options to forbid the same" you need to chose which objects can use this status.(in your case it's wbs element)

Hi,

if you can't find a standard way of restricting this operation then there is BADI WORKBREAKDOWN_UPDATE which can be used to perform additional checks when updating WBS element. So you should be able to check if user has authorization to release WBS. But try to find standard way first.

Hi Anil,

In order to release user require below authorization combination

Object : C_PROJ_PRC, C_PROJ_VNR, C_PROJ_KOK

Field : PS_ACTVT - 01 activity

Remove 01 value from above mentioned field for any one of above mention object will ensure NO authorization to release.
