Info-object labeling in BEx

[Former Member]

Client requirement is to show variable description for an info-object depending on a user login.

e.g. a Infoobject (Characteristic) Name is 'Level1' with a description as 'Level1'. If a user in Canada logs in and see a BEx report he should be able to see the description for infoobject Level1 as 'Cost center'. A user in US may wish to see the description for the same infoobject as 'Expense center' etc. etc.

Is it possible to do so ? If yes, please let me know how to do this. Where to maintain these different descriptions for the infoobject etc. ASAP. Thanks.

Pease do not get confused with language dependant texts.

Hi Lakshmikanth,

I think you can write a Tr.Routine at Infoobject level only during Info object maintenance so that this becomes a global routine.Am not an ABAPr so i'll not be able to tell you how to write a routine.But I think the logic would be easy to handle for any good ABAPr.

Hope this helps.

Hi Laxmikant,

You can create a text variable with Processed By Customer Exit or SAP Exit. Then with in that exit you can use sy-uname to get current user name. After that you just have to check the location and pass the required value. Its very easy.

Thanks to all.

I am using a combination of Rohit's solution with a Authorization object for each user to handel this problem.

Rohit & Kiran I have assigned points to you.

Hi

I don't think there is an easy way to do it.
