Function documentation Changing an Object  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

You use this function if you want to change an object in the Engineering Workbench.

Note

If your organization has implemented the Engineering Change Management (LO-ECH) component and uses change master records to process, for example, BOMs and routings, we recommend you read the information on the Changing a Change Status with Date Validity function and, if relevant, Changing a Change Status with Parameter Effectivity.

Features

You can change an object for every key date that lies within the object's validity period. Please note that changing a key date (in other words without a change number) affects the object's entire validity period. This may even mean before the change's key date.

Example

You create an object with the key date (i.e. no change number) January 01, 2005. It is therefore valid until December 31, 9999. You change the object with the key date August 01, 2005 so your change is effective from January 01, 2005 to December 31, 9999.
