I have successfully set up the Cost Center Hierarchy Node variable using authorization in our BI environment. One last issue I am facing is following.
When the data appears for a user who has access to 4 out of 10 cost centers in a hierarchy node, the summarized node data is showing the totals for all the cost centers included in the node. User would like to see the subtotal of only the cost centers they have authorization for. Of course the reason aggregated values are displayed is due to the : authorization provided for Cost Center in AA object, what I am wondering is if there are any other alternatives of ":" to force the query aggregate only the values from Authorization Hierarchy Node variable. Although SAP note 727354 suggests the following
- A colon authorization is not taken into account when you use a
variable of the type "Fill from authorization", since it is not known at the
time of the variable processing whether or not the affected characteristic is in
the drilldown.
I do have Authorization Hierarchy Node variable for Cost Centers in use but still the hierarchy node displays the summarized values for all the cost centers. I am hoping someone has run into this issue before me and there is a solution.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks!
