Function documentationReport: Conversion to Packaging Without Material Master Record

 

With this report, you can convert packaging that is assigned to a material master record to packaging without a material master record. Such a conversion may be necessary, for example, if you want to archive the underlying material master records for items of packaging, but archiving is not possible owing to the existing assignment to these packaging items.

Prerequisites

You have made yourself familiar with Packaging Without Material Master Records.

Features

This report converts the selected items of packaging that are each assigned to a material master record to packaging without a material master record (packaging class C). Note the following features:

  • The packaging retains its key after conversion (including the key for the variant).

    Independent of which number range intervals you have defined for packaging without material master records, the packaging you convert with this report may lie outside these intervals.

  • The system cannot convert packaging that has more than one unit of measure according to its assigned material master record.

You can choose the following additional options:

  • Test mode

    Specifies that the system should only simulate the changes. No data changes are made.

  • Trigger workflow event

    Specifies that the system triggers a workflow event for each changed packaging (business object REA_PACKAGING).

    This indicator is visible only if the WF Packaging Changes indicator is set in Customizing for Recycling Administration under Start of the navigation path General Control Next navigation step Define General Control End of the navigation path.
