Background documentationSAPMEINT Change Management

 

SAP ME ERP Field Maintenance defines how an object updated in SAP ERP is handled in SAP ME (see ERP Field Maintenance). The changes are defined by the Update Indicator set for the fields.

You can choose one of the following Update Indicator options:

  • Restricted

    If the update indicator is set to Restricted for a field, the change for the field in the incoming message of an object from SAP ERP fails to reach SAP ME. The error message appears in SAPMEINT Queue Monitor (see Queue Monitor).

  • Upversion

    If the update indicator is set to Upversion for a field, the change for the field in the incoming message of an object from SAP ERP is created as a new version for the object.

  • Update

    If the update indicator is set to Update for a field, the change for the field in the incoming message of an object from SAP ERP is updated to the corresponding object in SAP ME.

Note Note

  • You can add fields for which SAP ERP is the master. For example, for an object like material, the fields that are updated in SAP ME are not added.

  • Custom fields do not appear on the ERP Field Maintenance screen. A change made in SAP ERP to a custom field is merged with the existing custom field value in SAP ME, only if a change was also made to at least one standard field.

End of the note.
