    We used to have only one person taking care of Asset Management. Recently, we assign 2 people to process the AM and want to setup the data security, so that users can only access their own data.  I wonder if AM has similar process levels to limit users to access data?  For example AM20, AM30, AM40, users can only add, transfer or dispose an asset in their own book (defined in the AM00).  Do I need to find out which field I need to secure in AM20, 30 and 40?  How do you implement the AM security if you have multiple users taking care of AM? Anyone can share experiences about your company's AM strucuture?  Thanks a lot!

      The accounting unit gorup in asset management can be used to control security. This essentially behaves like a process level where depreciation for that set of assets will generally be charged to. AM09 is the screen where you would set the ccounting unit defaults for this group.

        Thanks Ruma for sharing. We want to secure the AM based on what book(AM00) users are assigned to. So, I think I should use getDBField to the table AMASTBOOK to see what book the assets belongs to and secure screen based on the asset's book. I tested it and it works fine. Thank you!

          Can anyone share how do you control security in asset management? Now, I run into an issue on AM170. I can't tell the AM170 to release process based on BOOK. Ruma's idea can control AM170 by accounting unit group, but I wonder how other companies control security in AM? How do you control on AM170 because if there is no data control, one person can release other people's process.
