Authorization checks
Setting up the organizational key (v4.6)
This example demonstrates how to place the Personnel Area and Cost Centre values into
the Organizational Key field. A full explanation and demonstration of a more complex
scenario is due for publication in the main knowledge library shortly.
Background
The Organizational Key is a 14-character field of infotype 0001. It is used to refine
security/authorizations. It has no fixed contents; you determine the contents yourself by
using configuration settings and by the use of feature VDSK1.
Purpose
The field (P0001-VDSK1) on the Organizational Assignment infotype 0001 is normally used
to control security/authorizations. When setting up authorizations in HR, it is not
possible to define profiles, which refer to the personnel sub-area for example (plus many
other fields). However, one field that is available is the organizational key field from
infotype 0001, so the configuration of the field is used to bring in values from other fields.
