. You see a dialog box in which you decide whether the change is relevant to this object. For example, a material may be affected by the change (object system status
Change possible
), whereas the change may not be relevant to a certain document (object system status
Change unnecessary
).
– If a change object cannot be changed for whatever reason (for example, due to technical requirements), you must set the
Change impossible
system status for this change object. In this case, the system automatically sets the system status of the change master to
Lock
. The system can undo the lock for the change master record (system status
Unlock
). However, you ought to check the change in the areas of your company that are affected by it so that you can make any required settings and fulfil all the necessary requirements.

The users responsible must approve the change request and convert it to an engineering change order (ECO).
You cannot edit the change objects with reference to this change number until the change request has been approved and converted to an engineering change order.
