How to limit fields in MM01-MM02 per user profile?

[jeff_broodwar]

Hi Experts,

I would like to ask your opinion on how to solve this problem.

My functional was assigned to extend a material to different plants, the problem is He wants to limit the access to the fields of MM01 and MM02 depending on the user's profile.

There's also another case wherein the user profile used was able to create a new material which shouldn't be allowed based on the requirement. Lastly, I also want to know if it's possible to limit the fields by using tables MARA / MAKT in data dictionary.

Please help me how to solve this. please proviide steps if needed.

Thanks and regards,

Jeff

Hi,

Try creating and activating the Transaction variant / Screen Variant for specific users using SHD0 transaction for MM01/MM02.

Hi Guys,

I checked the OSS as suggested by Raymond, I have the following questions:

- using this means there's no need for me to use transaction variants right?

- how can I implement these authorization objects given 2 roles to consider, roles A and B need to be checked if

they have the right authorization to create / change table MARA.

Harishkumar,

If I'll be using transaction variants, is there a way to limit these roles (mentioned above) to create / change entries in table

MARA? Please give me a link or steps on how to accomplish this..

Hope you guys can help me on this...

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi Guys,

I googled for other solutions and found out that others actually use BAPI to do the job. Is there an exit where this bapi is being called? please advise.

Thanks
