This short blog is going to show you how to find all plant ID's in SAP that relate to a certain block of company codes. This can be very useful for a security consultant when building roles and the correct information has not been given or hasn't been received in the first place...its usually the latter :).
Find your company code(s). You should already know the company code(s) based on the role(s) you are working with. Company codes can be found under the technical name of $BUKRS. Once you have the list of Company codes you can then search for the "Valuation Area".
Go to Table T001K in SE16N.
Copy and paste the Company codes that are relevant to your role into the table. In this example we will use Company Code 3001:
Now you have all the Valuation Areas that relate to your Company Code(s).
Now you need to find all the Plant ID ($WERKS) that relate to the Valuation Area(s) that you have just found, and how do we do this? Simple:
Go to SE16N, and find the table called T001W.
Copy in the Valuation Areas you have just got received from table T001K:
And just like that, you have all the $WERKS / Plant values you need to build your SAP role in a compliant and secure manner:
