To perform this, SAP delivers standard transaction SUPO (Maintain Org Levels &#8211; Prof. Generator).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, to completely define and configure a solid restriction within Profit and Cost Centers, and if it is not already in SAP system, it is recommended to convert following authorization values into organizational values:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$PRCTR = Profit Center<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$KOSTL = Cost Center<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$RESPAREA = Responsibility Area<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Importance of Responsibility Area:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To implement a solid restriction for Profit &amp; Cost Center, and as mentioned above, it is recommended to consider the Responsibility Area (RESPAREA) as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The relevance of this organizational value relies on the fact that certain transactions related to CO module, are not only validating against which Profit or Cost center the user is working, but also the Responsibility Area. However, in certain transactions, it is possible as well that only the Responsibility Area is validated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the reason that, to achieve a solid restriction, Responsibility Area should be considered as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Configuration to be applied for proper restriction<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the key points for such projects would be to involve the business in the reviews and definition of the restriction, basically for the following two points:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0To understand the different business processes which involve those organizational values and hence, set up the accesses (SAP roles) to comply with the special features of the business activities (such as intercompany processes or other specific business needs).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To involve all the stakeholders to understand the benefits of a proper segregation, such as most efficiency and as well, avoiding failures in accountability.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a brief introduction of the restrictions to be implemented, the following points will also be shown:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to fill up the values in roles for each authorization restriction previously explained.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most common\/relevant authorization objects in CO module for Profit Center &amp; Cost Center.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Cost Center<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First of all, the way to identify the Cost Center that are available in the system and their relationship with other organizational values such as Companies would be to review the information stored in the table CSKS (Cost Center Master Record).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other ways to identify this structure and define the role model in accordance could be to review the specific transactions that provide such information.

The review will be done for both Cost and Profit Centers together, as the procedure is very similar for both.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, once defined the information of the relationships between other organization value master data and the cost and profit centers, it is time to establish the values that will apply in each role.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This mapping will rely on the relationship between the organizational values in each system and the way that the roles are being derived (by what organizational value), so the strategy for definition will be different in each client.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What should be similar for all clients would be the hierarchical structure, this is, how the Cost and Profit Centers are maintained in SAP.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cost and Profit Centers in SAP are stored in a hierarchy, where clients can create different groups and subgroups that allow to store the Cost &amp; Profit Centers that should be in the same level and have similar characteristics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are different ways to create this hierarchy, as it is customizable. For example, some clients prefer to create groups by Business Units, others prefer to group them by Functional Areas, or similar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below is an example of the standard hierarchy that SAP provides by default, where the information of the profit\/cost center structure in the system and how the inclusion of a new one might look like (TEST_COST).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11948\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inprosec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"603\" height=\"316\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inprosec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1.png 603w, https:\/\/www.inprosec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inprosec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1-600x314.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 603px) 100vw, 603px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One important fact that should be considered when creating the structure is that, to fill up the values of Cost and Profit Centers in the roles, is mandatory to give access to the specific Cost\/Profit Centers or to establish wild cards (using *).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key point here is that is not possible to select a whole structure to give access to those organizational value, as the system only allows to select a specific value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of that, the recommendation when creating the structure is to follow a naming convention for the Cost and Profit Center and the Cost and Profit Center Groups, that allows to use wildcards in case the users should have access to the entire group in the hierarchy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, in the example above, if the users should have access to the all-administration group, the roles could have the value \u201c0001-1*\u201d, instead of selecting the Cost Centers one by one. This tip is also helpful when a new Cost or Profit Center is created within the structure, as it is already defined that the roles should provide access to the whole groups by using those wildcards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>RESPAREA<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, the configuration of the responsibility area would be different from the others organization values, as some values for this one are locked by default in the role management, and a previous configuration needs to be performed prior to start filling up the organizational values in SAP Roles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step would be to configure the table KBEROBJ (Settings for authorization objects in Cost Center Accounting), to specify the fields that are required to be restricted within the RESPAREA organizational value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basically, within this organizational value, there are different restrictions that can be performed, based on the following fields:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KS: Cost center<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HI: Authorization Hierarchy (Cost center hierarchy nodes)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KN: Cost Center Group<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PC: Profit Center<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PH: Profit Center Group<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BP: Business Process<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BH: Business Process Nodes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OR: Orders<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to remark not all this fields are validated once executing a transaction in SAP. The most relevant ones would be the first 5 restrictions. In fact, the Business Process structure could be not even defined in some systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The technical steps to perform this configuration are explained in <\/span><b>SAP note 698401<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (RESPAREA as organizational level field).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To summarize, it is needed to register in the table KBEROBJ the organizational values that are needed to be restricted within the RESPAREA in the role model. To do so, as mentioned in the note, the key field OBJECT must remain empty and the field CURRENTOBJ must be filled, because otherwise, no initial screen can be determined (the value included in this field is not relevant for the role management, so will not be taken as configured if it is not included in the following fields).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inprosec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"582\" height=\"114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inprosec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/2.png 582w, https:\/\/www.inprosec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/2-300x59.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 582px) 100vw, 582px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once this configuration is finished, the next step would be to fill up the needed organizational values in the role model, using the RESPAREA field (CO-OM Responsibility Area).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>RESPAREA Role restriction<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As previously mentioned, this organizational value stores multiple restrictions. To fill up the values, first it is needed to select in the first place the option \u201cchange\u201d in the definition of organizational values, and then a new window pops up, with the different tabs that were previously configured in the table KBEROBJ.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11952\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inprosec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"466\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inprosec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/3.png 466w, https:\/\/www.inprosec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/3-300x109.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, roles can be restricted with different variables.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each one of these variables needs to be defined using the corresponding tab and all except of the Order must be related to a specific Controlling Area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11954\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inprosec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"462\" height=\"143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inprosec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/4.png 462w, https:\/\/www.inprosec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/4-300x93.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 462px) 100vw, 462px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, below are the most relevant authorization objects that have this type of restriction:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">K_CCA&gt;&gt; CO-CCA: Gen.
