Authorization Objects in the STS 

 

Functions

In the Status and Tracking System, three authorization objects are assigned to the following user groups:

·         R_STS_PT: Authorization for the planning session and subplan for the person responsible or their substitute

·         R_STS_SUP: Authorization for special access Status and Tracking System for planning coordinators

·         R_STS_CUST: Execution of Customizing for the Status and Tracking System for technical administrators.

 

Technical Administrator

The technical administrator is responsible for executing Customizing for the STS.

For example: Cost center planning is to be performed. First the technical administrator creates a cost center hierarchy in BW and a subplan in the Status and Tracking System. He or she imports this hierarchy into the STS for the subplan.

The technical administrator can then assign a person responsible to each cost center in the cost center hierarchy. The person responsible can also be represented by a substitute.

For more information, see Customizing the Status and Tracking System. 

 

Person Responsible

Persons responsible are assigned to an area of responsibility (hierarchy node) within a subplan. They are either assigned to their own area of responsibility directly or are assigned as a substitute. The person responsible uses the STS, firstly to jump to his or her planning application, secondly to set the status of his or her own planning, and thirdly to monitor and set the status of any people who may be assigned under them.

For example, the person responsible for node 4711 of the subplan “cost center planning“  logs on to planning session 1 in the STS. In this way he or she can obtain the detailed view for his or her cost center. For more information, see Planning with the Status and Tracking System.

 

Planning Coordinator

Planning coordinators monitor the whole planning process for at least one subplan and therefore possess special access rights in the STS.

For example: For monitoring the subplan “cost center planning“ in planning session 1, the planning coordinator has a subplan and planning session-related monitor at his or her disposal.  As the initial view, this monitor shows an overview of the entire cost center hierarchy with detailed information.  The planning coordinator also has the option to change to a table view. Various filters are available in this view. In both views the planning coordinator has the ability to branch to a detailed view of an individual cost center (area of responsibility). For more information, see Planning with the Status and Tracking System.
