BIW Authorizations - Profit center is not retsricted at country level.

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We are using the BIW 3.5 version system, we build new customized authorization objects like Sales office, Sales org , profit center etc.. And with the collision of all auth objects, I build the Authorization role. As well as we have a specific roles for reporting purposes.

My issue is I have created a new Profit center hierarchy node for one country and I maintained same in Auth role. This node is working fine for some of the reports but some of the reports are getting entire hierarchy stricture of all countries. This is not allowable.

My question is how some of the reports are getting access to all countries profit Center hierarchy without having access?

Thanks in advance for your valuable suggestions and answers.

Best Regards,

Siva Shankar

Hi Shiva,

As some report are working fine and some not so I think the restriction is currently based on report level. query has been set in such way that few reports are providing specific data only. In other words the reports are restricted in profit center by hard code kind of concept. On the other hand other reports are generic for all profit center where authorization check is required.

Check the authorization restriction again. I think that is not working at all.

it seems the reports which are showing all data are not maintained the characteristic restrcition for Hierarchy prfoit ctr. Please check in query designer whether profit ctr is maintained as char. restrictsion and processing type should be authorization.

please let me know, if it works.
