Advantages of authorization concepts
Create a function block in the Customer Name Room. You can choose the supplied SAMPLE_INTERFACE_00001650 as the template. For us, it has proven itself, in the name of the new function block, the name BTE and the number of the template (here: 1650).
The change management process in the SAP® environment can be quite complex. Since program changes are usually transported into the production system, which can potentially have an impact on the annual financial statements, the audit of the process is an essential part of the annual financial statement audit. For this reason, it must be ensured that the process documentation is up-to-date and complete. It must also be ensured that appropriate classifications are defined for various types of change. This is because the process may subsequently differ for each classification. For example, the extent of the test and release steps varies depending on the criticality of the change, and they may even be shortened considerably for low-risk changes. However, it is crucial to justify this in a comprehensible manner. In the change management process, a sufficient test and release phase should be set up by the responsible department. This process step must also be documented in a comprehensible manner, even if it is not always easy to obtain the necessary evidence from the departments. In this process in particular, it is crucial that a clear dual control principle is established, which ensures that the developer is not also the person who ultimately carries out the transport into the productive environment. In preparation, the documentation should therefore be checked for completeness and up-to-dateness and, in a further step, whether the process defined in it has also been followed throughout the year.
What to do when the auditor comes - Part 1: Processes and documentation
After you have completed the development of the User-Exit, you still need to transport your validation. To do this, navigate back and highlight the validation you have created. You can now include the objects in a transport order using the Validation > Transport menu path. Finally, you need to activate your validation via the OB28 transaction. Please note that this is only possible for one validation (with several steps if necessary) per booking circle and time. Now your validation will be carried out with additional checks during the document booking via an interface.
In IT systems to which different users have access, the authorizations usually differ. How an authorization concept for SAP systems and the new SAP S/4HANA for Group Reporting can look.
"Shortcut for SAP systems" is a tool that enables the assignment of authorizations even if the IdM system fails.
This is based on the SAP Solution Manager's Configuration and Change Database (CCDB), which stores all details about the configuration of the connected systems.
If no security policy has been assigned to the user, the system will consider the password rules in the profile parameters and in the customising table PRNG_CUST.
