Dear Matthys,
I just spent about 5 months full time working on authorizations for a
project implementing FI, CO, PA, MM modules. I found the task to be very
complicated. My first advice is to get as much training as you can and
to hire a consultant with experience in this area. It will save you a
great deal of time.
If you can't get a consultant, go over the on-line help thoroughly. You
have to learn what the objects control. You also have to create a matrix
of business processes or tasks that you want to assign to someone. The
matrix could have columns representing Job titles and rows representing
business functions or SAP Menu Items (Transaction Codes). Use the matrix
as a starting point to define patterns that will become your profiles.
Create a user id with no authorizations. Use this to try transactions.
By entering /nsu53 in the command box whenever you get an authorization
error, you can find out what authorization that transaction requires. Do
ABAP Traces on transaction codes too.
There are so many things you need to do, I could ramble on in this
message for pages. Why don't you post some more questions and I will try
and answer them the next time I visit this new group.
Good luck.
Tom Sacco
