Question:
Hi All,
In our company, we have three different company codes in SAP, for our AU, UK and US operations. Cosnequently, we have vendors created for these different company codes. However, we want to restrict general data acces (XK02 / MK02), i.e. person in AU company code should not be able to see the general data for the vendor created in the UK or the US company codes.
Is there anyway of restricting this?
Thanks mate....
Cheers,

Answer:
Look at Su24
then you will see that XK02 can be restriced on Company Code in object F_LFA1_BUK.
MK02 can be restricted via Vendor account group in F_LFA1_GRP. so you will have to create Vendor account groups per country or company code.
Answer:
Hi Auke,
Thanks for your reply. SU24 is pretty useful but again the problem was that if we use the authorization object for central data it sill does not restrict on company code because central data is not company specific, and even if i use the option of making a field group for those selective fields, the authorization would restrict change but not display.
As our implementation is working off a template, we cannot change the account groups and to top it, US has just gone live so that would be impossible.
An option which i have thought of is to use the transaction variants and just hide the fields from the other users in UK and AU. However, that would only work on the assumption that no one in UK and AU is using that field.
Anyways thanks for your help. It gave me a bunch of ideas to work from.
Cheers Mate,
