Function documentation Deleting a Change Status with Date Validity  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

You use this function if you want to delete a change status you created with reference to a change master record with date validity.

Note

This function is only of relevance to you, if your organization uses the Engineering Change Management (LO-ECH) component and uses change master records with date validity, to edit bills of material and routings for example.

Features

To delete a change status you use the change number with which you created it. All change statuses following are automatically deleted along with this change status, which means that the object becomes invalid on the change number's valid-from date. Change statuses for subordinate objects also become invalid from this date.

When you save your worklist, change statuses you have deleted in the Engineering Workbench are not deleted from the database. Instead, these change statuses are given deletion indicators. Before the change status data can be deleted from the database, it first has to be archived.

For more information on archiving, see the documentation for the Data Archiving (CA-ARC) component, under Archiving Application Data.

  1. Go to the appropriate overview in the Engineering Workbench.
