It does not matter what access you have for table editing (S_TABU_DIS). Just use the command &SAP_EDIT in the command field in SAP and off you go: you can edit table content directly. This works if you have debug with changes access for object S_DEVELOP, but S_TABU_DIS is ignored as well as the system settings regarding changes.

You have setup a procedure where contractors / temporary workers are limited to x number of days to make sure that these users won’t be active for ever.

To create custom transaction, it is suggested that you define the naming convention as simple as possible to make sure that users will remember the transaction and do not have to second guess. If a user needs a custom transaction to browse table MARA, you can either call the transaction ZSE16_MARA or simply ZMARA. continue reading…
