SAP Note 860488 - Authorization check for selections with Excluding

Component : Authorizations -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/860488 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
In SAP systems, users face issues while executing queries due to lack of '*' authorization, particularly when using Excluding filters on authorization-relevant characteristics. The problem arises because the system's authorization check unnecessarily demands '*' authorization under these conditions, preventing users from accessing data. This issue occurs due to the way intersections involving Excluding selections are handled during authorization checks. To resolve this, an update suppresses the Excluding selection at intersections, allowing checks on union of including selections only. Implementing SAP Support Packages as outlined (SAPKW30B28, SAPKW31022, SAPKW35014) will address this. In urgent scenarios, direct application of correction instructions is recommended before the full Support Package release.
