Authorization error or? MATMAS and change Material

Feb 11 at 09:27 AM | 23 Views

Hi there,

We use MATMAS (MATMAS05) for creating and changing materials and off course MM02. The IDOC may only change materials of a certain material type.

I know that authorization object M_MATE_MAR can be used for that when using transction MM02, however this object is not checked with MATMAS which also changes a material (checked via a trace). Most probably MATMAS does not call trasaction MM02. Anyhow I would expect that MATMAS will hit the same authorization checks, in this case it looks like a backdoor.


Does somebody know this problem and has a cure for that?

By the way: I am not a authorization consultant.

Regards Kees

    The IDOC should be processed by BAPI, so behavior may (and will) be different from transaction, read a note such as 2030357 - Switchable authorization checks for RFC in Material Version

    Nevertheless, there are BTE (e.g. mgv00200) or BAdI (e.g. BADI_MATMAS_ALE_IN) where you could add your own authority check, replicating standard check performed by transactions.

    Hi Raymond,

    Thanks for the reply. I already asked the developer to trigger the check in user exit FM EXIT_SAPLMGMU_001 which is already in use. This user exit is triggered when saving the material. I will keep people posted.

    Regards Kees
