SAP user license & audit

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am a starter in SAP.

If i suppose procure 10 user license and installed the SAP package, can i create more than 10 user id's. Will the system allows me to do it? If yes how can SAP AG will check it.

Also can anyone tell me when SAP will conduct the audit in an implementation project. i have heard something like 'sox' audit. I am not even clear about the terminology used. Pls give some inputs.

Thanks in advance,

Raj.

hi,

if you have purchased say 10 users license then at a time only 10 users can remain active. however you can create more users than your license users using su01 but at a time only 10 users can remain active.ie you have to keep certain users deactivated.

and for sox audit :

hi,

as it follows the independent concept so an audit team can represent the internal organization or external.

actually it is performed to identify and evaluate complex business and technology risks and related opportunities for internal control improvement to reduce the risk and enhance the quality, assurance and security of information systems and business processes.

so the organization needs to perform it either by using its internal team who are aware of the concept of SOX std. or the organization can give this job to external unit to do the same.

below is the link which shows diff types of SOX :
