Hiding cond types on Pricing Screen via authorizations

Hi !

We are using pricing to calculate sales commission. The client does not want everyone to be able to view the condition type for sales commission on the pricing screen of the sales order. They want to control this via authorizations. SAP has provided OSS note 105621 that describes how to do this.

The client is opposed to implementing the solution described in this note since it involves a core mod.

I am trying to convince them that this is not going to be a problem. To this end, I was wondering...

Has anyone implemented this solution?

Is this not a recommended approach?

Does anyone have any insight into how well the solution works?

Is there an alternative to this solution that does not involve a core mod?

Any and all advise on this subject is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Anisha.
