It Is A Policy In Our Company That The Security Department Extends The User Validity Period Of Each User Id Every Year End I.e. From 12.31.2005 To 12.31.2006. We Have To Do This Manually Every Year And This Year, I Was Trying To Find Out How To Assign The Validity Period To A Much Later Date Than The Usual Annual Cut Off. Is There A Better Way To Configure This Without Going Through Each User Id Manually?

Preffered Answer:

You can follow these steps:
1. Go to transaction PSO4 (Maintain INFOTYPE);
2. Then go to Object Type - RY (Responsibility);
3. Proceed to Object ID - This is the organizational id of your responsibility. The abbreviation will be the same as that of your rule. Use F4 to GET the ID.
4. Execute and CHANGE the infotype, selecting 1001 (Relationships). Change the validity here. LASTLY, you might need to wrap the whole operation in a BDC or something for automation.
