The implementation of the time-space validation checks is carried out as an additional time-space filter. For selection criteria outside the valid time period, the message "Not authorised to display data from this time period" appears. However, if the selection criteria are partially within the valid time period, the documents that are outside the time period will be filtered out by the system without the user receiving a notice. In the example shown in the above figure, users of the BP-NRW Verifier Group would be left without comment when calling the vendor list for the period 01.01.2010 to 31.12.2014. This system behaviour can be somewhat irritating.
It is important for consolidated financial statements to have the same number range in the G/L account masters in different company codes. This is ensured by the tools in the FI module. In addition, the master records can be adjusted so that it is possible to work with the different currencies of the company codes across countries.
Limitations of authorization tools
As a result, you will get an advanced IMG structure, in our example FF Log settings, which you can access via the transaction SPRO. Finally, you could use the transaction COAT (see SAP Note 1089923) to assign additional attributes to your own tables and reports, for example. For example, this could be relevant for the tax audit and final reports or performance critical.

"Shortcut for SAP systems" is a tool that enables the assignment of authorizations even if the IdM system fails.
Essential system parameters are also part of the audit.
Since functional and organizational requirements are subject to change, SAP authorizations must be regularly checked and reworked.
