Changing Material PP-SATST01

The material replacement has changed the gross weight of material PP-SATST01. Since the material is allocated to alternative date DAT-01, the change is made on September 25, 1998, not on October 1, 1998 (the valid-from date in the change master header). The change is made with the Change material function.
