Use

You can change some functions in the area of Engineering Change Management (ECH) with the use of Customer Exits in order to optimize your work processes.

Example

When the person responsible saves a change master record you may want to run self-defined checks to discover any discrepancies in the data and also to keep this data from being saved on the database. You create an enhancement project by using the enhancement PCCD0004 (Check before saving a change number). The enhancement contains the function module EXIT_SAPMC29C_005. This exit refers to the include program ZXCCAU05. Enter the program code in the include program.
