Use
Changes to master data or movement data (for example, articles or purchase orders) lead to change pointers being updated. You can use change analysis to analyze change pointers and if necessary, generate additionals IDocs at your head office.
If additionals are to be generated in your store, information on the relevant changes is passed to the assortment list. In this case, you have to analyze change pointers for the assortment list IDoc.
Features
Use program ADDI_ANALYSIS_OF_CHANGES (transaction WTCA) to start change analysis. You can limit analysis to, for example, a particular time period and selected sales price conditions.
In change analysis, change pointer analysis or a reduction derived from this is executed for logical message category WTADDI. Then, the changed sales price conditions for the time period that you stated are found and analyzed.
For relevant changes, additionals IDocs are generated and transferred to the logical system TICKETS. You can incorporate individual fields to change pointer analysis (see also:
Distributing Master Data Using the Shared Master Data Tool (SMD)).Example
When you process a promotion, promotion sales prices are activated. Promotion sales prices are recognized in change analysis. An entry exists in the additionals IDoc for each promotion sales price that is valid in the analyzed time period, if an additional with a suitable procedure for additionals is assigned to the article in question.
