Conceptual documentation Change Master Record: Example PP-SATST  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Suppose the tubing for the saddle support of a bicycle has to be replaced. Because of this design change, changes have to be made to a bill of material, a task list, a document, and a material master record. All these objects are changed with reference to the same change number.

The overview below shows the SAP objects that are to be changed with this change number.

Object Management Records

In this change master record, the indicators are set such that object management records are generated for bills of material, task lists, documents, and materials when you process the objects with reference to the change number.

Since the design data of material PP-SATST01 is to be changed on September 25 1998, the object management record for material PP-SATST01 is entered manually in the Material BOM object overview.
The object management record for material PP-SATST01 is then allocated to an alternative date to give the material this alternative valid-from date.

Alternative Dates

Alternative date DAT-01 is created in the change master record. This date is to replace the general valid-from date in the change master header for material PP-SATST01.
Alternative date DAT-01 is used to define the following date: 25.09.1998.
September 25 1998.
Only material PP-SATST01 is allocated to this alternative date.
