Background documentationSetting Up Authorizations

 

Users can only configure the Billing Consolidation Connector (FIN-FSCM-BC-CON) component and execute programs if they have been assigned the appropriate authorizations.

Authorization object F_EDX_AUTH controls the assignment of authorizations. You can use this authorization object to control message processing for electronic data exchange. When assigning authorizations, you can differentiate between company code, activity, and message type. For instance, with the activity authorization you can determine whether a user is allowed to execute or check messages. You can use the message type to determine whether a user is allowed to process messages for purchase orders or messages for order confirmations.

To assign authorization object F_EDX_AUTH to a user, proceed as follows:

  1. Call transaction PFCG.

  2. Create single role SAP_EDX.

  3. Navigate to the Authorizations tab page and create an authorization profile for this role.

  4. Change the authorization data by manually adding authorization object F_EDX_AUTH.

  5. Edit the Company Code, Activity, and Message Type fields for authorization object F_EDX_AUTH.

  6. Save your entries and generate the role.

  7. To assign role SAP_EDX to the user, navigate to the User tab page, enter the user data, and save your entries.
