SAP Note 11394 - Authorization for FI reports.

Symptom

Authorization concept in FI is not complete.
For example, an accounts receivable with the profile F_DEBITOREN
is to be created in balance status (RFBILA00)

Cause and prerequisites

The reports are mostly delivered without authorization group.

Solution
The development request exists.
Temporary workaround:
1. Define authorization group for the reports to be protected.
(via SE38; change attributes for the program concerned)
2. Define authorizations for authorization object S_PROGRAM and by
doing so, access the authorization group defined in 1.
S_PROGRAM has 2 fields, in the field "user input", the
following values are relevant for users (not programmers).
- SUBMIT to carry out program online
- VARIANT to maintain a variant for the program
- BTCHSUBMIT to carry out program in the background.
3. Include authorization in employee profiles.
Caution: before a final solution is provided by SAP, this involves
a modification. This is because the authorization group
depends on program attributes and is overwritten with
new updates. This means, a repetition of the 1st step is
necessary after every update.

Key word: Authorization
