Use SU22 and SU24 transactions correctly
The Anatomy of SAP Authorization or Documentation on SAP Authorization Objects and Authorization Field Values
In the beginning, the FI and CO modules were separated from each other. Both modules have been combined by SAP as higher-level modules in the accounting area. The main reason for this is the tight process structure, which enables a smooth transition between the two modules. As a result, SAP FI and CO now only appear as the joint module SAP FICO.

System trace - Transaction: ST01 or STAUTHTRACE - There is also a system trace for an evaluation. Unlike the authorization trace, a system trace is mainly designed for short periods of time. My preferred variant to call the system trace is via the transaction STAUTHTRACE. Here you can filter the evaluation directly and get a better evaluation representation. Over the individual Buttons one can switch directly the Trace on or off and display the result of the Trace.

To calculate the recommendations, you can filter the SAP notes by their productive system, by the SAP solution, and by the applications and components, by the technical system name, and by the time of publication.

This is not possible for SAP NetWeaver and SAP ERP HCM authorization objects, i.e. it does not apply to S_TCODE checking. The checks for specific authorization objects can be globally off for all transactions (in transaction SU24 or SU25). This is only possible if the profile parameter AUTH/NO_CHECK_IN_SOME_CASES is Y. In addition, executable transactions may also result from the assignment of a reference user; the reference user's executable transactions are also taken into account.

During go-live, the assignment of necessary authorizations is particularly time-critical. The "Shortcut for SAP systems" application provides functions for this purpose, so that the go-live does not get bogged down because of missing authorizations.

It should therefore be checked whether the detailed settings for the security audit log are set up in accordance with the company's specifications and, in any case, whether all users with comprehensive authorizations, such as SAP_ALL, are fully covered by the logging without exception.
