SAP Security & GRC Podcast – Technical Series (E04): How to make use of SAP SU24 Variants

Watch or listen to the SAP Security & GRC podcast – helping you on your journey to effective access risk management in SAP. 

In this technical series session, we walk through a practical, real-world demonstration of how SU24 authorisation defaults and SU24 variants can significantly reduce manual maintenance when building SAP roles.

Using the widely-used MIGO transaction as an example, we show you how different business processes (such as Goods Receipts and Goods Issues) often require different movement types — and how SU24 variants make it possible to standardise and automate these differences cleanly.

What you’ll learn from this episode: 

• How SU24 authorisation defaults work and why they’re essential for effective SAP design, with a low support burden.
• The problem with repeated manual maintenance when using MIGO across multiple roles
• How to create and transport SU24 variants for different business scenarios
• How variants ensure consistency across role builds while reducing effort and risk
• A step-by-step walkthrough of building two roles using variants for GR and GI
