Creation of Change Documents for Specifications 

Use

The SAP system logs all changes that are made within specification management. In Customizing for Basic Data and Tools under Specify Context Fields for Creation of Change Documents you can specify which context information is displayed on the objects that are determined in the creation of change documents log for specifications (such as identifier, material assignment, transport approval).

In the change document, the objects are determined that were:

·        Created

·        Deleted

·        Changed

Changes that were made by a reference or inheritance are marked. For each object, the change date, change time, and the user name of person who made the change are displayed in addition to the context information.

Change document creation for specifications is independent of Engineering Change Management for Specifications.
