  Key Concepts: 
  Segregation of duties (SoD) is a security concept used in SAP systems to ensure that no single user has access to all the functions and data necessary to complete a transaction. This helps to prevent fraud and other malicious activities by ensuring that no single user can perform all the steps necessary to complete a transaction. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP systems, SoD is implemented by assigning different roles to different users. Each role has a specific set of permissions that allow the user to access certain functions and data. This ensures that no single user has access to all the functions and data necessary to complete a transaction. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up SoD in an SAP system, it is important to ensure that the roles are assigned correctly and that each user only has access to the functions and data they need. It is also important to regularly review the roles and permissions assigned to each user to ensure that they are still appropriate.
