MB51 restriction of displaying some cost center data

[Former Member]

Hi,

MB51 transaction provides us to see the material documents. In MB51 report we can also see the cost center detail. At this point, we want to restrict displaying some cost centers data for some users. For example user XYZ can see only the material documents related to cost center 1000 or user ABC can see only the material documents related to cost center 2000 and 3000 etc. In conclusion, some users can see only some material documents, not all.

Thanks

Hi

Check auth. objects for MB51 in tcode SU24. You could see your requirement is not supported. Check also the documentation (information icon in the selection screen), you have available information about authorizations. The option is do the mapping between plants and cost centers (usually it's done in OKB9) and rule it with plants.

I hope this helps you

Thank you very much for your response, we look SU24 but we could not find suitable authorization object. Can you guide us ? In addition, we have only one plant because of this, mapping option can not solve our problem. Is there any different solution ?

hi Melih ,

I don't see any easy method of adding cost center restriction to MB51.  An easier work around will be creating query over tables MKPF and MSEG and adding a authorization object for cost center to t-code in SE93 so created for this report .

Hi,

Generate 2 layouts in the report. 1 with the cost center details and the other without one.

Create a Parameter ID for the field Layout (VARIANT) in Display Options in the report MB51 and assign each User ID with the required layout format (can be assigned in SU3 of User Maintenance).

Please note there is no standard parameter ID for this particular field. So take the help of a programmer and generate a new ID for this.
