System Response

For drilldown reports in new General Ledger Accounting and FI-SL, if the
'Read All Data' indicator is activated (default setting), data is
selected and then only the data for which authorization exists is
displayed.
For drilldown reports in new General Ledger Accounting and FI-SL, if the
'Read upon Each Navigation Step' indicator is activated, an
authorization check is carried out directly on the selection screen when
the data is entered. Depending on the ledger scenario, the system then
checks whether the user has the corresponding authorization for ALL of
the data to be selected. If this is not the case, an error message is
displayed and the report cannot be executed.
Example:
The profit center scenario is active and no entry has been made for the
'Profit Center' selection option on the selection screen.
In this case, the system checks whether the user has authorization for
ALL profit centers. If this is not the case, the user must make an entry
in the selection option to restrict the profit centers to be selected to
those for which he or she has the corresponding authorization.
Caution: For run-time reasons, when the 'Read upon Each Navigation Step'
indicator is activated, the authorization for ALL cost elements (KSTAR =
'*') is always checked for the authorization objects 'K_PCA' (profit
centers) and 'K_CCA' (cost centers). Thus, when the 'Read upon Each
Navigation Step' indicator is activated, authorization must always exist
for ALL cost elements for both authorization objects mentioned.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Remark: In EC-PCA, there is no change to the authorization check since
the check is always carried out directly on the selection screen.

How to fix this error?

Inform users about the changed authorization check if necessary.
