Assigning a Controlled Object 

Use

After you have created a configuration folder, you must assign a so-called controlled object. The controlled object is the object whose configuration or changes are central to the current CEP process.

Subsequently you select any number of subordinate objects for the controlled object. These subordinate objects such as BOMs documents (design drawings, work descriptions), WBS elements, network activities, and similar objects describe the controlled object in more detail. See Selecting Substructures of the Controlled Object

Prerequisites

You are in a configuration folder in Configuration Management.

Procedure

  1. In the right-hand screen area, choose the Con Fold tab page (configuration folder).
  2. Choose an object type from the list box in the Type of controlled object field. For instance, project definition or material.

In Release 4.6C you can use materials, project definitions, WBS elements, and dummy materials. Other objects can be used in Configuration Management but not in CEP.

If the object that you want to enter as the controlled object (for instance material master) does not yet exist in the SAP System, you can create a dummy. For more information, see Dummies for Controlled Object
  1. Enter in Controlled object the name of the required object.

 

You have defined Project definition as the type of the controlled object. Now enter the project definition of an existing project, for example T-2000.
  1. Choose .

 

Result

The controlled object is selected and the configuration folder saved. You now use the browser to select in your controlled object the subordinate objects that are to be made available to the participants for further processing.
