Is there any possibility to Restrict Document flow..

[former_member196331]

Hi,

I have one requirement,

I would like to Restrict the Document overflow button at Va03 , for particular users.

Can i able to restrict this one, By using the Existing functionality given by the Sap.

I need your Valuables Suggestions.

What would be the point of such restriction? If people don't have authorization to view delivery or invoice they won't get anywhere from the document flow. Not even allowing someone to see that a document exists is paranoid.

Jelena,

Maybe OP is new to SAP and an ABAPer. His functional analyst says "we need this" and he starts working on the technical part of this requirement.

NewB,

Sometimes, it is not easy to question your functional analyst, they take it to heart and feel offended when an ABAPer wants to know why?

But document flow is one of the excellent functionalities given in SD to have an overview, so your team should think 10 times before curtailing this. Has business outsourced order creation, and doesn't want those people to see invoice numbers etc.?

NewB functional + NewB Abaper = Fun on SCN?

Jurgen,

Yes, fun on SCN and things being shown from a "new" perspective (restrict document flow)

Assuming that the functional analyst is also newb, then it will not be fun for customer...or maybe it will as they can "bulldoze" their way...

That's the problem with humanity these days - no one stops to think. Even if both SD and ABAP consultants just learned SAP this requirement is just pure nonsense from the business standpoint. Say I open document flow and I see there is delivery 800356 and invoice 973423 created. What is the importance of this information? What am I going to do with it? Will I enter the office at night with a flashlight to search for a paper copy of these documents? And then I will proceed with using white-out to replace companies 'Remit to' information with my own Swiss bank account and faxing the invoice to the customer? Well, then lock up the paper copies and white-out - problem solved!

Try if you can do this with Screen Variant SHD0. Check the below link for information on SHD0.

Can you please search in the forum first. This is discussed lot of times in the forum. You can even search for Documents and Blogs on Screen Variant or SHD0.
