Inheritance of parameter values by SAP user accounts

If parameter values are directly assigned to user accounts, you can enter a parameter value. You can also specify a parameter value if parameters are assigned to hierarchical roles or system roles. This parameter value is inherited by the user account along with the parameter. If a parameter is inherited by a user account by different methods, the actual parameter value is calculated as followed:

  1. Directly assigned parameters are determined.

    Direct assignments occur by:

    • Synchronizing user accounts including their parameter values
    • Direct assignment of parameters in the Manager
  2. Indirectly assigned parameter are determined in the following order:
    1. System role
    2. Primary department
    3. Primary location
    4. Primary cost center
    5. Primary business roles
    6. Secondary department
    7. Secondary location
    8. Secondary cost center
    9. Secondary business role
  3. If the parameter inheritance goes through different roles of a role class, the actual parameter value is calculated by the shortest inheritance path within the role hierarchy. The direction of inheritance of the role class is taken into account.
