SAP Note 14118 - Authorization: Payroll acc. with remuneration stat.

Symptom:

The user only has read authorization for cluster PCL2.
Report RPCALCx0 is started with parameter NOUPD or the schema used contains function 'UPD NOUP'. Furthermore, the schema contains function 'XEDT' for the output of an additionally remuneration statement via report RPCEDTx0.
Two cases are to be distinguished:

1. There are not yet any payroll results on PCL2 for the accounted period in the test run.

--> No remuneration statement is output.

2. Payroll results exist for this period.

--> A remuneration statement is output, however, it contains the old payroll results!
Cause and prerequisites

All database changes (PCLx) are first carried out in a buffer. This buffer is read by successor programs (here RPCEDTx0).
However, the authorization check has already been carried out when the buffer is changed. If the change authorization for PCLx is missing, the buffer is not changed.

Solution
Assign write authorization for the users involved.
