In this step you maintain effectivity profiles . You use effectivity profiles to limit the effectivity types available, client-wide or for particular materials.

Requirements

In the Set up control data step you have set the Parameter effectivity indicator.

In the Define effectivity types step you have defined effectivity types.

Activities

You define a new effectivity profile as follows:

1. Choose New entries.
A screen appears with a table in which all effectivity types that have been defined in the system are listed.
2. Enter a name and a description for the new effectivity profile.
3. For all effectivity types that you want to be included in the effectivity profile, set the Active indicator.

You define a client-wide effectivity profile as follows:

1. In Customizing for engineering change management, choose the Set up control data step.
2. In the Effectivity profile field enter its name and save it.

You define an effectivity profile for a material as follows:

1. Choose Logistics -> Central functions -> Engineering change management -> Parameter effectivity -> Assign material to profile.
2. Choose New entries.
3. Under Finished prod. enter the material number and under Effectivity profile enter the name of the effectivity profile. Then save your data.
