The One-Stop-Shop Security and Workflow Assignment Transaction
Agenda Today, we’ll be taking a look at: • Some general information about the new process to assign SAP BW security and SAP Workflow approvers. • The advantages of the new transaction • The screens of the ZSR • The ZSR Report • What the approver sees and does • Questions & Answers
What Is Included in the Current Roll-Out? Phase 1:BW Security (March 2008) Workflow Approvers (March 2008) Phase 2:SAP Roles* Additional Organization Units (Z61) Other Workflow Assignments *Roles related to BW Security or Workflow will be automatically proposed in a request if the user does not have the required roles.
Advantages of the ZSR • The transaction is online and included in SAP. • The ZSR has field validation. • There is a pulldown of choices for each type of BW Report area or Workflow Rule. • There is automatic workflow to the appropriate approver. • There is automatic update eliminating manual labor and keystroke error. • The transaction will propose BW or Workflow roles if the user does not already have the role. • Requests can be parked. • The ZSR role report will display status and can be used to audit who requested and approved security and workflow changes.
Conclusion • The New ZSR Transaction and Process should make assigning BW Security and SAP Workflow approvers easier, quicker, and more transparent. • Validations, automatic workflow and automatic update should reduce errors on the front end for initiators, and on the back end when the values are automatically entered into the system. • With the ZSR Report, users will be able to display status of requests as well as audit past assignments and changes. • Overall, we hope that the new transactions will make the Request and assignment process more intuitive and more efficient than it has been.
Q&A • We’re going to open the phone lines now! • There will be a slight pause, and then a recorded voice will provide instructions on how to ask questions over this conference call line. • We’ll be answering questions in the order that we receive them. • We’ll also be answering the questions that were emailed to us during the presentation. • If there’s a question that we can’t answer, we’ll do some research after this session, and then email the answer to all participants.
