ECM status control

Former Member

Dear Friends,

We have activated ECR with release key to the client.

To control the statuses between the users Client says USER1: should not have access to release ECO, close ECO and release key. USER2: should have all the access. To achieve this,

I have created a status profile with 2 levels. Level1 with access to all the statuses other than required releases. Level2  with full access.Then i created a authorization key and with help of security consultant assigned the same to particular user. Also I had put this access key to Level2 of status profile as it has all the statuses access. Lastly I assigned this status profile to the ECM profile which will be used by both the users.

But even after doing this the user2 is not able to see any check button against release and close statuses of ECO. Offcourse he had checked the buttons complete change and release change at object level, save ECM moves to header level but not able to see any buttons against close and release of ECO statuses

Please let me know whether my approach is correct or is there any other way?

Do we have authorizations objects for close ECO and release ECO and can we control using that?

Please help.

Regards,

Sai

Or User enhancement PCCD0003 can be utilized to check for authorizations for system status changes.  Note 117034 identifies the business transactions (variable BUS_TRAN) that is passed into the function (CC01, CC02, etc.).

You can then perform an authorization check based on those business transactions.

Hi Amber,

Thanks a lot....as we did not have any digital signatures under scope i was not able to work on that...and i checked your enhancement its good.

But some how i achieved this through status profiles only and its working excellently.

Hello Sai.

Your requirement can be met by customizing a digital signature network.

Go to transaction SPRO ->"Logistics General" -> "Engineering Change Management" -> "Change Type" -> "Approval" ...

A digital signature can be dedicated to each single approval step. In the user master record, you can allocate each user who shall  take part in the approval process, with the correct authorization for the authorization group that corresponds to the user's task area  (authorization object: C_SIGN_BGR).

Please review the documentation at help.sap.com:
