Creating the Change Hierarchy (SAP Library - Engineering Change Management (LO-ECH))

Creating the Change Hierarchy

Verwendung

You can control a complex change involving several change objects by using a Change Hierarchy.

Prerequisites

You must activate the release procedure in Customizing for Logistics - General under Engineering Change Management ® Set up control data. Set the Release active indicator.

Procedure

Create a change master record.

- Choose the leading change master record / change leader function on the initial screen.

- Enter the required data on the Change header screen, for example values for the effectivity and the release key.

Save the change leader.

Create another change master record.

- Choose the change package on the initial screen.

- Enter the required data on the Change header screen, for example the change leader that the change package is to be allocated to.

- Enter the object type indicators.

- Go to the object overview. Enter the objects that are relevant to the change (for example, BOMs).

Save the change package. If required, enter further change packages for the same change leader and allocate other change objects to them.

Result

You have created a change hierarchy consisting of a superior leading change master record and several change packages. All the changes that you make with reference to the different packages become effective under the conditions defined in the leading change master record.
