Disable Button UI Data Protection – Disable “Additional Data” button in MM03

Introduction

In this blog post, we will learn how to disable “Additional Data” button in transaction MM03.

This functionality will work only if a field is masked on the screen.

If Logical Attribute is maintained, then the Disable Button functionality will be executed based on user authorization.

If Logical Attribute is not maintained, then the Disable Button functionality will be executed for the configured function code, provided at least one field is masked on the screen.

The end result for unauthorized users will look like below:

Prerequisite

Product “UI data protection masking for SAP S/4HANA” is used in this scenario to disable button in SAP GUI screens and must be installed in the S/4HANA system.

Let’s begin

Configuration to achieve masking

Logical Attribute is a functional modelling of how any attribute such as Social Security Number, Bank Account Number, Amounts, Pricing information, Quantity etc. should behave with masking.

Configure Logical Attribute – Follow the given path:

SPRO -> SAP NetWeaver -> UI Data Protection Masking for SAP S/4HANA -> Maintain Metadata Configuration -> Maintain Logical Attributes

Material Description

Maintain Field Level Security and Masking Configuration

Here, we will define how masking will behave with the logical attribute that we created in above step.

Follow the given path:

SPRO -> SAP NetWeaver -> UI Data Protection Masking for SAP S/4HANA -> Data Protection Configuration -> Maintain Field Level Security and Masking Configuration

Follow below mentioned steps:

• Click on “New Entries” button
• Enter “Sensitive Entity” as “LA_MATDESCR” and press “Enter” key. “Description” and “Application Module” will get populated in corresponding fields
• Check “Enable Configuration” check-box
• Select “Role Based Authorization” option
• Enter “PFCG Role” as “/UISM/PFCG_ROLE“. In this example, we have used a blank role “/UISM/PFCG_ROLE”. Customers can use any role as per their requirement.
• Enter “Field Level Action” as “MASK_FIELD”
• Click on “Save” button

Maintain Technical Address

In this step, we will associate the Technical Address of the fields to be masked with the Logical Attributes.

You can get the Technical Address of a GUI field by pressing “F1” on the field.

Follow the given path:

SPRO -> SAP NetWeaver -> UI Data Protection Masking for SAP S/4HANA -> Maintain Metadata Configuration -> Maintain Technical Address

Follow below mentioned steps:

Under “GUI Table Field Mapping”, maintain technical address for following fields.

Material Description

• Click on “New Entries” button
• Enter “Table Name” as “MAKT”
• Enter “Field Number” as “MAKTX”
• Enter “Logical Attribute” as “LA_MATDESCR”
• Enter “Description” as “Material Description”
• Click on “Save” button
• Click on “Mass Configuration” button which is required to generate technical addresses for Module Pool Programs

Maintain SAP GUI Function Code for Button Disable Configuration

Here, we will configure Program Name and Function Code for the Disable Button functionality of the selected function code in SAP GUI.

Note:- You can get the Program Name under System -> Status -> Program (screen) Name and Function Code information of a button by pressing “F1” on the button.

Program Name

Function Code

Alternatively, you can find the Program Name and Function Code information by using the following instructions –

• Execute T-Code MM03

• Enter Material as “1737” and Click on “Select View(s)” button

• Select “Basic Data 1” and “Basic Data 2” Views and click on “Continue” button

Enter /HS in the Command Field in order to switch on Debugging

• Click on the button to be disabled. In this case, click on “Additional Data” button

• Double-click on “%_CALLER_PROGRAM_NAME“, you will get the Program Name

• Type “SY-UCOMM” and press “Enter” key, you will get the Function Code

Follow the given path:

SPRO -> SAP NetWeaver -> UI Data Protection Masking for SAP S/4HANA -> Data Protection Configuration -> Maintain SAP GUI Function Code for Button Disable Configuration

Follow below mentioned steps:

• Click on “New Entries” button
• Enter “Program Name” as “SAPLMGMM”
• Enter “Function Code” as “ZU01“
• Enter “Description” as “Disable Additional Data button“
• Check “Enable Configuration” check-box
• Enter “Logical Attribute” as “LA_MATDESCR“
• Enter “Message Class” as “/UISM/UI“
• Enter “Message Number” as “912”
• Click on “Save” button
