user specific Field restrictions on equipment master data

[vijaykumar_metri]

Hi,

I have been asked if we can restrict users to stop modifying the Manufacture and Model number field in equipment master data. could you please help me whether or not we can achieve this.

Ex: Only supervisor will be able to edit the Manufacture and Model number fields but for technician those two fields should be display only.

See SAP Support on Notes for Enhancements and UserExit of Technical Objects. Some valid resources would be :

• SAP-Noet 92970 "Technical object: Exits to check or change data"
• SAP-Note 564467 "Technical object: Customer exits in transactions and (B)APIs"
  => See this on restrictions of the UserExits, working for Business Transactions, possibly NOT in BAPI's
• SAP-Note 2129378 "BADI EQUI_UPDATE is not called in SD/MM transactions"
  => BAdI "EQUI_UPDATE" can be used as it is called in FM "EQUIPMENT_SAVE" and Trx. "IE01/IE02"

Using Development through UExit of BAdI, combined with a custom Authorization-Check on organizational level could be a Solution to allow / disallow editing specific fields ...

Hope this helps
