Re: Using Profit Center as an Org Level in PFCG

Hi Alex,

Thank you again for your response.  I have just tested out this solution in our ECC 6.0 system with Enhancement Pack 4 and this is what I found:

1. I created a role with K_CCA and K_PCA authorization objects. 
2. I turned on RESPAREA as an org level via PFCG_ORGFIELD_CREATE.
3. Checked table KBEROBJ and added 1 additional entry in which ‘OBJECT’ is blank per OSS notes 698401 and 565436.
4. Went back to role and it now has RESPAREA as an org level. 
5. I could maintain the authorizations based on the tabs I documented in table KBEROBJ.
6. I maintained a Profit Center as an org level and it was added to both objects. A ‘PC’ prefix was added to both authorizations and corresponds with the tab in the Org Level. 
7. Regardless of if you maintain cost center or profit center, it populates both authorizations. However, the prefix for each authorization is based on the tab used including:

KN Cost center group

KS Cost center

HI Cost center standard hierarchy nodes OR Order

BP Business process

BH Business process nodes

PC Profit center

PH Profit center nodes

So profit centers and cost centers are listed in both objects for authorization element RESPAREA.  The question is this:  Do we not care because the cost center prefixes will be disregarded in profit center authorizations and vice versa?

Thanks again for your feedback!!!

Warm Regards,
