SAP GRC T-Codes: Your Key to Efficient Compliance

SAP Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) solutions provide essential tools for businesses to manage compliance, security, and risk management processes. To wield these tools effectively, it’s helpful to be familiar with the crucial SAP GRC transaction codes (T-codes) that make streamlining your work possible.

What are SAP GRC T-codes?

T-codes in SAP are shortcuts that take you directly to specific areas within the SAP system. In the context of GRC, these codes provide a seamless way to access transactions for risk analysis, role maintenance, access requests, reporting, and much more.

Essential SAP GRC T-codes

Let’s break down some of the most common SAP GRC T-codes you’ll find yourself using:

Process Control (PC)

• GRAC_MSMP_SPM_INITIATE: Initiates Superuser Privilege Management workflows, keeping privileged access under control.
• GRAC_SPM_LOG_DISPLAY: View Superuser Privilege Management logs, which are crucial for auditing.
• GRAC_EAM_LOG_DISPLAY: Tracks activity with the Emergency Access Management (Firefighter) functionality.

Access Control (AC)

• GRAC_ACCESS_REQUEST: The place to submit and manage access requests to different parts of your SAP system.
• GRAC_ROLE_MGMT: Essential for creating and maintaining roles encompassing the authorizations they contain.
• GRFN_RULESET_SEARCH: Search and analyze risk rulesets created within AC.

Risk Management (RM)

• GRAC_RISK_ANALYSIS: Core transaction for running and viewing risk analyses.
• GRAC_RULE_MAINTENANCE: Create, modify, test, and transport your risk mitigation rules.

Additional Valuable T-codes

• PFCG: Used for general role maintenance across different SAP modules (not just GRC).
• SU01: Central user management area.
• SE16 Allows quick viewing of SAP table data (use cautiously).
• ST01: Activate system traces for authorization troubleshooting.

Why are SAP GRC T-codes Important?

1. Efficiency: T-codes save time by eliminating navigating through menus.
2. Access: Directly reaching specific GRC functionality speeds up tasks.
3. Troubleshooting: Authorizations and workflow issues are resolved faster when you easily access relevant areas.

Tips for Using SAP GRC T-codes

• Documentation: Keep your list of frequently used T-codes as a reference.
• Naming Conventions: Many SAP GRC T-codes begin with “GRAC” or “GRFN,” making them easier to identify.
• Context-Sensitive: SAP often provides T-codes within a screen or report, allowing direct navigation to related functions.

Staying Updated

SAP regularly introduces new T-codes and sometimes changes existing ones. To stay on top of these changes, utilize the following resources:

• SAP Help Documentation: 
• SAP Community Forums: 
• SAP GRC blogs and websites

Mastering the essential SAP GRC transaction codes will give you valuable efficiency and insights, simplify your GRC processes, and keep your business safe and compliant.
