Breaking up of User Departments for use by M_MATE_STA

170 Views

The security object M_MATE_STA can be used to control create/change/display access to specific material views within the Material Master. The division of the views is as such:

User department Maintenance status

Work scheduling A

Accounting B

Classification C

MRP D

Purchasing E

Production resources/tools F

Costing G

Basic data K

Storage L

Forecasting P

Quality management Q

Warehouse management S

Sales V

Plant stocks X

My question has to do with the Sales User Department. By default, all of the sales views are lumped into the maintenance status of V. I have a requirement where some users need to be restricted to changing only the Plant Level Sales Views (e.g. Sales Text and Sales General Plant) as opposed to the Sales Org 1/2 views.

I've researched, but cannot determine a way to create/modify the maintenance statuses in order to break them out such that they can be secured separately. Other than a transaction variant, does anyone else have any ideas?
