Dear SAP gurus,

I want to restrict some users to open the posting period and for some users close posting periods. I knew that these can be done through authorization group. Pls explain how to create authorization groups and how to use those? Anybody can help me out?

Regards,

Dear Venkatareddy,

There are two sets of period in OB52. The first set of "From" and "To" is for the authorised group and second set is for the non authorised group. In the "Authorisation Group" (last column) give some 4 charecters name. Say "FICO".

Now ask the basis to attach the object "FICO" for the users who are authorised say user1, user 2 and user3.

Now in the first set of period you can maintain say 1 2008 to 16 2008 and in the second set 1 2008 to 1 2008.

So except user1,2 and 3, all the others can post only in 1 2008. Whereas users 1,2 and3 can post in all the periods of 2008.

Assign points if useful

1. Assign or type AuGr for example: OPEN

2. Assign the AuGr to all Types

3. Add the posting period authorization to (authorization object F_BKPF_BUP) to
the authorizations of the selected users. Assign an authorization group (OPEN).

Try now, for the user you have assigned the OPEN will have access to post in those periods and all other user will not be allowed. You can do the same thing for I period or just for Type + as + will be used when entering on the Header level and this will stop the user to post if the user has not been assigned to the OPEN in the above object.

Good luck.
