If you only want to reserve one particular version of the document, enter the data of the document key together with the version number (for example, 08). The system checks that the document exists. You see an error message if the document does not exist.
If you want to reserve
all
versions (including versions that do not yet exist), mask the value for the version by entering the special character "

" in the
Version
field. In this case, the system does not check that the document exists.
Choosing the document using the product structure:
– Choose
You see the object overview.

Enter the start object (for example, material), and explode the structure overview until you find the document affected by the change. Documents that can be copied as change objects have a checkbox next to the document key fields.
Select the document(s) you want to copy and choose
Copy.
You see the
Document
object overview again with the copied data of the documents you selected.
Save your change master.
The document is now reserved for a change number via its object management record.
Once you have reserved a document for a change number, you see the
Reservations in Engin.Change Mgmt.
dialog box when you process the document
This dialog box shows all the change numbers in which the document is reserved.
Once you have saved a change number, you can no longer change it. This means that when you next process the document, the change numbers that the document is reserved for are no longer displayed.
