Max realizes that there are additional authorizations that are needed to be able process tasks in the Balance Validation functionality. He wants to understand what is needed so that he can request the additional security from the System Analyst and System Security personnel.
Authorizations are needed for both the SAP Fiori applications and the data that exists from a transactional perspective.
The following SAP Fiori applications are directly used for the Balance Validation functionality:
- Manage Balance Validation Rules and Groups (F6386)
- Schedule Balance Validation Jobs (F7470)
- View Balance Validation Results (F6387)
In conjunction with these applications the following SAP Fiori applications are also relevant to create rules or to view the details of the data provided:
- Manage Global Hierarchies (F4965)
- Custom Fields and Logic (F1481)
- Manage Journal Entries (F0717A)
- Display Line Items in General Ledger (F2217)
SAP provides two Business Catalogs. These catalogs contain the necessary SAP Fiori authorizations for user access to relevant data based on your deployment option.
For the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, these are:
- General Ledger – Validation Configuration (SAP_FIN_BC_GL_VAL_CONF_PC)
- General Ledger – Validation Results (SAP_FIN_BC_VAL_RESULT_PC)
For the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, these are:
- General Ledger – Validation Configuration (SAP_FIN_BC_GL_VAL_CONF)
- General Ledger – Validation Results (SAP_FIN_BC_VAL_RESULT)
The attribute restrictions used by Balance Validation are Company Code, Cost Center, Profit Center, Hierarchy Type/ID.
To display the results of the balance validation, the user might require authorization to access the data. This means that to see details such as data specific to a certain company code, the user may need to have the appropriate permissions.
