Use

You can manage objects of the Bill of material and Task list object types more specifically if you set the indicators for object sub-types accordingly.

Features

For each of these object types, the following table shows the object sub-types for which you can control processing individually via the change number.

Object Sub-Types in the SAP Standard System

Object type

Object Sub-Types

BOMs

Materials

Equipment BOM

Standard BOM

Customer order BOM

Project BOM

Task lists

Routing for functional location

 

This means that you enter the Object Type Indicators that control processing with reference to the change number separately for each individual object type you have selected. You can, for example, define that a change number can be used for material BOMs but not for document structures.

Optional

If you maintain a simple change master record in the standard system (for example, with a valid-from date without a release key), the object sub-types are optional for BOMs and routings.

Required

The object sub-type is required for routings if you create a change master record with the following functions:

Because you cannot use these functions for every routing type, you cannot set an indicator for routings on the Object types screen. You cannot set this indicator until you have set the routing sub-type indicator.

Activities

You are in a change master record.

  1. Click This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Object types.
  1. Select Edit ® Other ® Specify object types.

The Object type specification dialog box appears.
  1. Set one or both of these indicators:

– Bill of mat. according to type in ECH (BOMTypSpec).

– Task list according to type in ECH (TLTypeSpec)
  1. Click This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

Note

If you have already processed bills of material or task lists (for example, routings) with reference to this change number, there are limits to the changes you can make to the indicators for object sub-types. You can only reset the object sub-types indicator for an object type (for example, bill of material) to obtain a single entry again (for example, material BOM, document structure ® bill of material) if all object sub- types of this object type have the same indicators set for this object type.
