Question:
Hi...I'm looking for an object so that I can restrict IE01 and IE02 by equipment type (field EQTYP) but I can't seem to find a good fit. Little help, please? Thanks!
Answer:
I_BEGRP PM: authorization group - maybe the closest you'll get but involves a lot of work allocating equipment into categories by auth group.
You could perhaps utilise user exit.
Answer:
JeffSAP,
Check OSS Notes 81229, 92970 & 144941 - looks to have potential for adding custom auth check in exit - although it describes it as being performed at Save (which would be appropriate for the creation) rather than at opening of the Equipment / Functional Location.
EXIT_SAPMIEQ0_001
ACTIVITY_TYPE identifies whether user is in create, change or display mode, so you should be able to differentiate in an auth check.
DATA_EQUI contains EQTYP so it appears all the elements are immiedately available to the exit.
Although we're not currently looking to do anything in this realm, I'd be interested to know if it does what you're looking for - please post back if you pursue it.
Good luck,
Vincent
Answer:
Thanks Vince. We found that snippet of code at the end of the program, but the business folks do not want the user exit there, they do not want them to go through the entire transaction before being kicked out. It looks like we're going to address it with a custom solution.
