Deleting a Change Master (SAP Library - Engineering Change Management (LO-ECH))

Deleting a Change Master

Prerequisites

Before you can delete a change master, the system makes certain checks.

To maintain the authorization for deleting a change master, you use authorization object C_AENR_BGR (authorization object for activities and authorization group). Activity 06 controls the authorization for deleting a change master.

A change master can only be deleted if there are no changes to objects with reference to the change number.

Note

However, object management records can be marked for deletion. This means that an object management record has already been created in the change master for a change object that does not yet exist in the system. For example, you enter a material BOM in the change master. The header material of the BOM has a material master record, but the BOM itself does not yet exist in the system.
When you delete the change master, these management records are deleted as well.
