To use engineering change management in the dangerous goods master, enter the change numbers on the initial screen for dangerous goods management.
If you are working with change numbers for the first time, the system divides the validity period for the dangerous goods master record into two adjoining validity periods.
If you work with further change numbers with different validity periods, the validity periods are sub-divided again.
If you remove the change numbers before choosing the Hit list function, the system uses the key date you entered when changing or creating dangerous goods master records.
System Behavior for the Function Displaying the Dangerous Goods Master
If you have entered a change number as selection criteria on the initial display screen for the dangerous goods master, the R/3 System only selects the data records that were created for this change number. The key date is not taken into consideration for this selection.
The R/3 System then determines the packing data for a selected data record without regard to the change number. It selects the packaging master records valid for the validity period of the dangerous goods master record.
System Behavior for the Function Changing the Dangerous Goods Master
