KSB1 Restrict viewing of salary cost elements

[Former Member]

In actual cost line item report KSB1, how can we limit usersu2019 access to certain cost elements such as Salaries? With control of authorization object, users currently can view the salary cost (element) items but cannot drill down on the underlying details. But we want to go further with the restrictions by excluding viewing of the cost elements?

I was trying to create a customized transaction code, e.g. ZKSB1, that will bypass the selection screen but without success.

Appreciate any insights or workaround for this.

Hi,

search SAPNET with "RESPAREA" = (responsible area) note 370082 is the one that explains the concept, 698401 is also helpful to trahsfer this settings to organizational structures in authorization maintenance. There are some notes dealing with authorization restriction based on defined "responsible areas" which are nothing else than groups of cost element (groups), cost center (groups), profit-center (groups),...

No need to create a Z-report.
