Editing Scopes of Application

Use

You use this procedure to define scope of application entries for the following objects:

  • Change states of recipes

  • Formulas

Prerequisites

You have made the following settings in Customizing for Recipe Management :

Procedure

  1. Load the object to which you want to assign scope of application entries and choose the Scope of Application tab page.

    All scope of application entries created for the change state are displayed irrespective of their validity periods.

    Note Note

    If you only want to display scope of application entries whose validity period contains the key date you entered in the initial screen, choose with the quick info text Key Date .

    If you choose with the quick info text History , all scope of application entries are displayed again.

    End of the note.

  2. To create a new scope of application entry, enter its usage, that is, its rating and validity area.

    You cannot change this data for existing scope of application entries.

  3. Enter the validity period for the scope of application entry. Note the following:

    • The validity periods of scope of application entries whose usage is identical may not overlap.

    • Assigning a change number enables you to link a scope of application entry to a change master record. The system then transfers the valid-from date from the change master record. It applies to all objects you have edited with the change master record and you can change it later on.

    • When you overwrite the valid-from date or change number of an existing scope of application entry, the system generates a new scope of application entry with the same rating and validity area. The new valid-from date must be before the valid-to date of the existing scope of application entry. If it is within the validity period of the preceding scope of application entry, the system reduces this scope of application entry accordingly.

  4. Confirm your entries.

    The system checks your entries and transfers them. New scope of application entries are automatically assigned the initial status defined in your system settings.

  5. Choose the status you want to assign.

    The input help provides a list of the next statuses allowed according to the status network.

  6. If required, enter a person responsible for the scope of application entry.

  7. Save your entries.
