Use this to create, display, change, or delete a record that links a venture/DOI, product code, and responsibility ID, for data access and security purposes.
Responsibility IDs are used throughout the SAP system, and are data and user-specific security master records. The responsibility ID gives a user specific data access privileges to certain key items, based on the assigned responsibility. This distinction allows the classification of specific items according to the organization’s responsibility relationships. For example, a user must have responsibility for a contract to maintain that contract.
A responsibility hierarchy can be created to allow certain responsibility groups access to specific items. Responsibility is assigned at both the user level and object level. The responsibility ID consists of three parts.
Examples:
Responsibility ID |
Description |
User Responsibility ID |
Item Responsibility ID |
‘******’ |
Global responsibility |
Can update all items regardless of Responsibility ID |
Can be updated by all Responsibility IDs |
‘AC****’ |
AC Group Responsibility |
Can update any item with a Responsibility ID beginning with an AC |
Can be updated by global responsibility and all Responsibility IDs beginning with AC |
‘999999’ |
Individual Responsibility 999999 |
Can update items with Global Responsibility or Individual Responsibility of 999999 |
Can be updated by Global Responsibility or Individual Responsibility 999999 |
For example, a company might want to create an Accounting Responsibility Group, a Marketing Responsibility Group, and an Engineering Responsibility Group. Individual responsibility IDs could then be created for each of those groups (some users may fit into their company’s responsibility hierarchy in more than one group). For example, a user might be responsible for ten items under his responsibility ID. When a responsibility ID is set up, a description is entered to describe what the Responsibility ID is for.
You can create a responsibility ID for more than one venture/DOI/product code.
1. From the SAP Easy Access Menu, choose Logistics àProduction and Revenue Accounting àOwnership àResponsibility ID.
The Responsibility ID: Initial Screen is displayed.
2. From that screen, you can create, display, or delete responsibility ID – venture/DOI – product code records.
