Use

The profile for creating a change master record groups together default values and presettings for the change master record.

This data is standard information that is needed repeatedly in a similar form when maintaining change master records . The profile helps you when creating a change master record and makes it easier to manage change data.

Prerequisites

You must have defined the profiles in Customizing for Logistics - General under Engineering Change Management ® Maintain profiles.

Features

You can enter the following default values as change master record data:

You use the object type profile to define which object types can be processed with reference to the change number.

The object type profile is therefore irrelevant to profiles for creating change master records with the Leading change master record (Change leader) function.

Activities

  1. Define the profile in Customizing.
  2. Enter the profile on the initial screen when you create the change master record.

The system adopts the change master record profile values as default values. You can overwrite these default values in the change master record. Default values for a profile that you overwrite in the change master record are only stored in the change master record and not in the profile.

When an object type profile is assigned to the change master record profile the system also copies the object type indicators that you have set there. If you set the indicator in Customizing for the object type profile Can be overridden you can change the object type indicators in the change master record.
