Authorization for Layout Processing

Use

You can use authorization administration to control the extent to which individual users can maintain layouts. You can enable certain users to define layouts for the ALV lists used in the Price Planning Workbench .

Prerequisites

You have defined the general layout authorizations for the users to whom no explicit layout authorization was assigned. For more information, see Customizing for Logistics – General under Price Planning Configure General Parameters .
The authorizations assigned via layout user groups also apply if you define layouts using layout management.

Features

You can use layout user groups to assign different authorizations to individual users in layout maintenance.
You can define a default indication for the layouts and use it as a default for the different price plan categories of the individual areas within the Price Planning Workbench .
You can define the fields that the system is to display in the Price Planning Workbench when selecting layouts in the individual areas.
You can also define layouts outside of the Price Planning Workbench in a separate transaction.

Activities

To define layout user groups, choose Logistics Retailing Master Data Price Planning Layouts for the Price Planning Workbench Edit Layout User Groups.

Enter the key and the description for the new layout user group and define whether the users in this layout user group are able to create user-specific or global layouts.
Assign the users to the individual layout user groups. To do so, choose Logistics Retailing Master Data Price Planning Layouts for the Price Planning Workbench Assign User to Layout User Group.
To define layouts for the individual areas of the Price Planning Workbench , choose Logistics Retailing Master Data Price Planning Layouts for the Price Planning Workbench Layout Management. Define the individual fields that the system is to display later in the Price Planning Workbench when selecting layouts in the individual areas.

Note
Once you have defined the layouts, you can define default layouts for the price plan categories and the various ALV lists. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Logistics – General under Price Planning Workbench Predefined Layouts for Lists .
