Fields Relevant to Printouts of Changes

In this step, you define:

Text output can be controlled via a text number (direct assignment) or a routine (indirect assignment).

Example

of the determination of change texts

Text number

In the standard system supplied, the change text "Unit of measure changed" (text no. P5) is directly assigned to the base unit (MEINS field):

If the base unit is changed in an already printed RFQ, purchase order, or outline agreement, the change text "unit of measure changed" is included in the change notice (printout of changes).

Routine

In the standard system supplied, the deletion indicator (LOEKZ field) is assigned to routine 3 , which controls the outputting of the change text.

Routine 3 checks whether an item of a purchasing document has been deleted or blocked. If the item has been deleted, the change text "Item cancelled" (S3-L) is included in the printout of changes. If the item has been blocked, the change text "Item blocked" (S3-S) is printed.

Recommendation

SAP recommends working with the settings of the standard system. In this case, you need take no further action.

Activities

If you wish to define further fields as relevant to change notices, you must carry out the following activities:

1. Enter the table and field names
2. Select the document categories for which the field is to be relevant to change notices.
3. Assign a text number or routine

Note

If you specify a text number and a routine, the routine will receive preferential treatment.
