Can tcode PPOMA be Used for ECC security?

[Former Member]

Hi,

We know that PPOMA or PPOMA_BBP can be used to restrict users by their org level or tasks in SAP SRM,Can the same principle be used to restrict users in ECC system through their Org values.

For example.Can a user be restricted to perform his actions only for Plant 1000 or 2000?

I know we can restrict the activities through roles,but is this approach of using PPOMA possible in ECC?

Any comments/opinions on this matter is appreciated?

it cannot be used in that way.

what you can do is, attach roles to positions/organizational levels (or other objects) in PPOME/A. but the organizational level for ECC-objects would have to be defined in the roles themselves.

Hi,

PPOMA in SRM is used to provide default values to users in procurement transactions. The PPOMA assignment does not restrict the users from performing tasks. For authorizations the program still checks for the org values asssigned to the users roles.

But, Yes the users would not be able to perform the procurement related transactions if they are not assigned to any organizstion node.
