ZSR is now a "One Stop Shop" for SAP Security!
The transaction that has been used for requesting other SAP privileges is now expanded to include requests to add and/or remove SAP roles.ZSR now allows updates to the "Home Cost Center" which determines the routing of some SAP workflows.The ZSR is the one-stop shop for the following action types:
SAP Roles BW Roles with CC/IO Security AssignmentsWorkflow Responsibility AssignmentsAdditional Org Unit Security Access (Z61)Maintain Home Cost Center for Workflow Routing

Slide 11
Changes to ISR ProcessesISR Type Old Process New ZSR Process
POSITION CREATE
ISR initiator could include roles on Position Create ISR for the position to be created with roles
Once the new position has been created or copied from the ISR process, a ZSR will be needed to assign roles, individually or through the ZSR Position Copy feature
POSITION COPY
New position is assigned the same roles as the position copied
POSITION MAINTAIN
Position Maintain ISR was used to add or remove SAP roles
ZSR will be used to add or remove SAP roles
The ZSR includes an action type to update the Position Home Cost Center,
which can also still be updated using a Position Maintain ISR.
Slide 12
Usability Improvements with the ZSR
Role selection by type:Standard R/3 and SRM rolesBW rolesRestricted roles (requires additional approval)Portal roles (usually assigned automatically, rarely requested)
Accompanying roles automatically assigned (e.g., roles needed for functional roles to operate properly)
Copy capabilities:From one position to anotherFrom a previous ZSR request

Add or remove SAP rolesMaintain the home cost center
The expanded process makes ZSR the true one-stop shop for all SAP security and workflow requests, key features include:
Improved approvalsAutomated assignments, including "accompanying" rolesValidations to prevent role conflicts
The ZSR report will be even more useful to:Display status of requestsMaintain history of past assignments and changes
