Procedure documentation Changing an Object Management Record in an ECR  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

You can change an object management record directly from the processing functions for the engineering change request. You can select the object on an object overview (for example, material BOM) and make the changes on the detail screen.

You also have the option of using Object mgmt record from the Engineering Change Management menu. This is a special function for changing an object management record. This function is particularly useful for editing the status of object management records.

Note

You should use this function if you want to change only a particular object management record. When you have completed your changes, you see the initial screen again.

To change an object management record:

  1. From the Engineering Change Management menu, choose Object mgmt record ® Change.

    2. Enter the change number on the initial screen and confirm it. You see the object overview.

    This overview shows the change objects of all object types.
    You see the following data for each object:

    – Object type (for example, material BOM, material, document)

    – Data that uniquely identifies the master record, such as:
    Material master: Material number
    Document: document number, document type, document part, document version

    – Description

    – System status

  2. Select the object whose status you want to change.
  3. Choose Detail or the menu option Edit ® Set status.
  4. Set the required status by choosing the appropriate pushbutton.

    5. Note

    Depending on the change object, further functions may be active on the detail screens.

  5. Save your change.
