Example: Decentralized Time Recording (SAP Library - Personnel Administration (PA-PA))

Example: Decentralized Time Recording

Requirement

You record working time decentrally. Once the time data has been recorded decentrally, it is checked centrally. The time administrators should not be able to change data that has been checked. The central time administrators, however, should still be able to change the data.

Realization

Activate the Test Procedures (AUTSW APPRO authorization main switch) in addition to the authorization checks using P_ORGIN (AUTSW ORGIN authorization main switch).

Create an entry in the T584A table (Test Procedures – Infotype Assignment) for all time management infotypes and subtypes. You can use one test procedure for all infotypes. You can also use a different test procedure for each subtype or the same test procedure for several subtypes only. The decision depends on whether the subtypes should each be checked together or separately.

The time administrators need the following authorization for the P_ORGIN authorization object:

INFTY = 2*

SUBTY = *

AUTHC = *

PERSA = *

PERSG = *

PERSK = *

VDSK1 = *

The time administrators need the following authorization for the P_ORGIN authorization object:

INFTY = 0130

SUBTY = *

AUTHC = *

PERSA = *

PERSG = *

PERSK = *

VDSK1 = *

Note

If you have different time administrators for different test procedures, you must list each test procedure instead of * in the SUBTY field.

The time administrators who should also be able to change time data need an additional write authorization.
