3760113 - Company code restriction not enforced in app 'Manage Posting Periods – Cost Accounting' in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

  • Restriction for company code in the 'Manage Posting Periods – Cost Accounting' F4684 app is not working.
  • Users can view all company codes in the app in particular in the value help.
  • Users can select posting periods for company codes beyond the restricted one.
  • The app does not enforce the maintained restriction fields in the business role.
  • No error messages are displayed.

Environment

  • SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a custom business role for the 'Manage Posting Periods – Cost Accounting' app.
  2. Maintain restriction fields under “General” such as Company Code/Ledger/Business Transaction Type (BUKRS_GLRLDNR_BTTYPE) and other relevant FAGL_* restriction fields.
  3. Set Company Code to a single value (for example, 1020).
  4. Log in with a user assigned to this role and open the app; observe that the user can still view and view posting periods for all company codes.

Cause

The app 'Manage Posting Periods – Cost Accounting' does not currently have the functionality to restrict company code from the value help via authorization restrictions based on user roles. 

Although restricting the value help is not possible, it is possible though to restrict the output of the selection by company code using Company Code/Ledger/Business Transaction Type (BUKRS_GLRLDNR_BTTYPE) and other relevant FAGL_* restriction fields.
