Object documentation Change Status with Date Validity  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Definition

The processing status of an object that was created with reference to a change number, which refers to a change master record with date validity.

Structure

A change status with date validity has purely time-related validity. This extends from its valid-from date, to the valid-from date of the change status following. If no change status follows, the validity of a change status with date validity is open-ended.

Example

You create an item with reference to change number CH1. The valid-from date of change master record CH1 is January 1. The system then generates a change status, CH1, which has an open-ended validity from January 1.

You change the item with reference to change number CH2. The valid-from date of change master record CH2 is July 1. The system then generates a change status, CH1, which has an open-ended validity from January 1. Change status CH1 is now only valid until June 30.
