    SAP transaction BP - Hide the BP roles in Dropdown

    In using BP transactions could be for customer, vendor and lot of other Business partners(internal and external) in the system. SAP has a set of predefined roles for each of the business partner which can be seen as a dropdown as below 

    1. How the screen looks currently  
    2. Config based control 
    3. Conditional restriction for dropdown
    4. Other BADIs which can be used

    SAP BP transaction role for config

    Conditional Restriction for the dropdown

    Conditional Viewing of roles based on predefined business condition example role assigned to the user   

    We can add custom logic based on which we can define  

    Check the class CL_IM_VKK_BUPA_ROLES_REMOVE  and method 

    IF_BUPA_BLOCK_ROLES_REMOVE~REMOVE_ROLES_FROM_DROPDOWN 

    I created a user exit for this method as a Post exit 

    Logic as below:  

    1. Read the specific BP being opened by the user  
    2. Restrict for a specific BP grouping or number range 
    3. Get the roles for the user and check for the role combination which you want to show / hide a specific tab 
    4. Based on the condition hide/ show the specific item in dropdown menu 
    *lv_string1 = IV_PARTNER_NUMBER+0(1). 
    Select single partner_guid from but000 into ls_but000 where partner_guid = IV_PARTNER_GUID . 
      if sy-subrc EQ 0 and iv_partner_number+0(1) NE 'E'. 
    *You can also use partner grouping instead of number range in below
