Authorization Check for Storage Locations

In this step, you activate storage location authorization for individual storage locations.

Storage location authorization means that a user has to have authorization for authorization object M_MSEG_LGO in order to enter a goods movement in the storage location, using a particular movement type. In the list of material documents, only the document items for which the user has a display authorization are displayed.

Example

Storage location authorization is useful, for example, if you want to protect the goods stored in a particular storage location.

Standard Settings

In the SAP Standard configuration, storage location authorization is not active.

Recommendation

Note: Using storage location authorization means that more work is involved in configuring user authorizations. We recommend that you only use plant authorization as far as possible. Storage location authorization could have negative effects on performance.

If you only want to store a material in one storage location with authorization check, it is a good idea to prevent storage location data from being created automatically, so that the material cannot be stored in another storage location without protection.

Activities

Only make these settings if you want to use storage location authorization.

1. Activate storage location authorization in the required storage locations.
2. Create an authorization for the object M_MSEG_LGO and assign the new authorization to the authorization profiles.
