3313437 - Restriction by plant doesn't work in Batch Information Cockpit app

Symptom

After creating plant restrictions for a role with business catalog SAP_SCM_BC_BATCH_MNTR_MC assigned, when accessing Batch Information Cockpit app, you are still able to see batches from other plants.

"Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental."

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud.

Reproducing the Issue

  • Go to Batch Information Cockpit app
  • Execute a search
  • Check the Selection Result for Batches
  • Batch from a plant with restriction is displayed.

Resolution

The plant restriction only holds for the plant specific information of a batch. As the Batch Information Cockpit app initially selects and displays plant-independent data, the plant restriction does not have influence on the selection result for batches.

However, if the plant authorization is restricted, this will be considered in the selection result for the stock information of a batch.

Mat/Batch TG21/0000000007 which has stock in plants 1010 and 1710:

The same selection for the same batch after having defined read restriction (authorization for plant 1010 only) --> Data for plant 1710 not shown anymore:
