Combining Users

Combining Users

1. Call the License Administration Workbench (transaction SLAW or LICENSE_ADMIN).

2. In the Control LAW box, choose the Combine Users option.

   The system displays the Combine the Users dialog box.

3. In the dialog box, choose whether you want to combine your users automatically or manually.

   • Automatic combination by the following criteria:

     • User name

     • Last name, first name

     • Account number

     • E-mail address

     • Telephone number

     The system displays the message Users successfully combined in the status line.

   • Manual combination:

     The system displays the Combine Users Manually screen.

     Depending on whether you have imported new users from new systems into the LAW, choose one of the following options when filling out this selection screen:

     • You have not imported any users from new systems into the LAW. You therefore do not need to make any entries on this screen, but should choose Execute immediately, to combine all imported systems automatically.

     • You have just imported the data for a new system into the LAW and had earlier already automatically combined the data for the previous systems. You must now automatically combine the users of the new system by the same criteria. To do this, set the indicator automatically assign by on the Combine Users Manually screen, and choose the criteria for the combination. Then choose Execute.

     In both cases, the screen Combine Users Manually appears.

     • Select all user master records of an employee.

     • Choose Group Selected.

       After you have combined all user master records for an employee, you can specify the contractual user type to be licensed (see Consolidating Contractual User Types).
