 Authorizations for Administration Report Locate this document in the navigation structure

To edit and transfer the data of the administration report, the relevant authorizations must be assigned to the user. The authorization object for displaying, changing, and transferring data is FOT_B2A_V.

This authorization object checks the objects company code and return type . You can edit the following activities (relevant for the administration report) for each of these object combinations:

  • Display (03)

    The display authorization must at least be assigned to the user. Only data for returns for which the user has the display authorization is read and displayed in the output list.

  • Change (02)

    The check to change a return concerns the comparison of return data with Customizing (see Editing Return Details ). An authorization to change data also contains the authorization to display data. If the user does not have any authorization to display, but has a valid change authorization, the reporting data is still displayed because of this higher-level authorization.

  • Transfer (A9)

    An authorization to transfer data is required for both the real transfer and the test transfer.

    • If a user does not have authorization to transfer a return, the program is terminated in online mode (that is, no background processing) for all returns selected to transfer and no return is transferred.

      The user can then exclude the returns for which he or she does not have authorization on the output list and then transfer the returns again.

    • There is no interaction possibility for a scheduling of the report and transfer in the background. During a transfer in the background, all returns are transferred for which the user has authorization. All other returns are not transferred and retain the status New . The returns that are not transferred due to authorization errors are logged in the job log. A message is displayed in the summary of background processing that returns were not transferred due to missing authorization.
