SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

From S/4HANA Cloud 2111 onwards an authorization group to be used with SAP_COM_0532 is required when changing or creating a new arrangement. Existing arrangements will remain working as they’ve used to.

The authorization group allow customers to define what can be extracted, either via an list of allowed views or simply stating that all the data extraction enabled views can be extracted (which was the previous behavior).

If your S/4HANA Cloud system is managed by Central Business Configuration (CBC):

1. Go to CBC system and click "Configuration"
   
2. In the Search area, input EXTRACTION, and then click "Define Allowlist for CDS View Extraction"
   
3. This will bring you to "Define Allowlists for CDS View Extraction: Change" screen.

If your S/4HANA Cloud system is managed by Manage Your Solution app:

1. Log on to with BPC_EXPERT or BR_BPC_EXPERT user or equivalent permissions.
2. Search for "Manage Your Solution" App and Open it.
   
3. Click on "Configure Your Solution" button
4. Filter by:
   - Application Area: Application Platform and Infrastructure
   - Sub Application Area: Data Extraction
5. A single entry with short description "Define allowlists for CDS view extraction." Will appear, click on the entry.
   
6. On the expand panel, only one Configuration step appears, click on Configure action
7. This will bring you to "Define Allowlists for CDS View Extraction: Change" screen.

Steps to define CDS View extraction allowlist:

1. Click on “New Entries” in the toolbar, a line will open

   - Authorization Group ID: (define a unique identifier)
   - Group description: (describe the group intent)
   - Type: choose “Explicit allow list” if you want to restrict the view that can be extracted.  Otherwise select “all data extraction views”
   
3. Save and select a customizing request for this configuration.
