Check Indicators in USOBX_C

Question: What is the difference between C (Check) and U (Unmaintained) check indicator?

Background:
When defining authorizations using Profile Generator, the table USOBX_C defines which authorization checks should occur within a transaction and which authorization checks should be maintained in the PG. You determine the authorization checks that can be maintained in the PG using Check Indicators. It is a Check Table for Table USOBT_C.

In USOBX_C there are 4 Check Indicators.
· CM (Check/Maintain)
- An authority check is carried out against this object.
- The PG creates an authorization for this object and field values are displayed for changing.
- Default values for this authorization can be maintained.

· C (Check)
- An authority check is carried out against this object.
- The PG does not create an authorization for this object, so field values are not displayed.
- No default values can be maintained for this authorization.

· N (No check)
- The authority check against this object is disabled.
- The PG does not create an authorization for this object, so field values are not displayed.
- No default values can be maintained for this authorization.

·U (Unmaintained)
- No check indicator is set.
- An authority check is always carried out against this object.
- The PG does not create an authorization for this object, so field values are not displayed.
- No default values can be maintained for this authorization.

Would appreciate any help.

Answer:
To PFCG there is no difference... It is just to let you know it might be in the code and might be in the path the code takes when a user presses a button or it may not. Hence the U (Unknown).
