Exclusion of "detailed" partner functional from VA01/02/03 t-codes

[Former Member]

Hello,

Is it possible to exclude the "Detailed Information" from a specific Partner Function in VA* t-codes?

The issue is all Sales Representative that are linked to the Sales Orders/Outputs were created in the past as "Vendor" master Data.

In this case, all users that have access to VA* transactions (VA01, VA02, VA03) have access to see the details (Pop up screen) with the sales representative Address, phone number, email, etc ... They also don't want change the address for the office address, because the FI team also use the information to send cheques, correspondence, etc

The users still want have the ability to call VA03 and see all other partners as Sold-to, Ship-to etc

However they should not be allowed to have the "Details" about the "ZS" partner function only.

I was checking that the VA* transactions call the FM << SD_PARTNER_READ >>

Is there how to change an User Exit / Enhancement to VA* transactions to not allow the users to get the "Pop Up" screen with the details of the partner funcion "ZS" only?

It's a long shot but have you tried Authorization Trace to see if there is any authorization check when address is called?

Also address functionality is rather generic, so maybe search for a user exit / BADI in the address functionality, not in the sales order.

If all else fails, I'd send a message to SAP. This seems to be a valid privacy concern and should be somehow covered.

Hi Jelena,

Thank you for your reply.

We tried to use Trace, SE30, etc to find any authorization check but it was not successfull.

We also tried to create a Screen Variant using SHD0, but we can hide "all" address for all function partners, but we can not hide the address for 1 or 2 partner function only.

We are working with a really good Abaper from SAP, and he said there is a way to do it creating an enhancement, but it will be a complex change.

So, we are checking the possibility to create a Second Account group for Vendor Sales Representative.

Thanks anyway and if we found a better way to do it I will post here as solution found.

Hi Santosh,

Thank you for the quick answer.

However I went through the logic with our Abaper and he said that is not exactly we need and it's not going to solve our issue.

The business requirement is to have access to VA02 partners tab and display / change the following information:

Partner Function                   Partner code     Partner name

ZR Sales Representative        1000100             Paul Stwart

However, the above information is followed by the sales representative address, which is also used by FI, and the Customer Service should not be allowed to display or change the partner "Address" only.

Street                                        Postal Code        City

980 DES ROSSIGNOLS           J1B 7Z7                BOUCHERVILLE

We were looking some exits, but right now we didn't find a way to not display the "Address" only.

Tks
