Function documentationMaking Reservations in Engineering Change Management Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

Documents are integrated into a change process by entering the change number in the document info record. This change number controls the change process.

When the change department enters all the objects that are affected by the change in the change master record (for example, BOM, routing), documents can be preselected for the change. Reserving documents for certain changes guarantees that only one change number which the processing status of the document is relevant for can be entered in a document version.

Integration

You reserve a document for a change in the change master record. When you process the document info record, you decide which of the change numbers should be copied into the document.

On SAP GUI, you enter the change number in the basic data. On the PLM Web UI, you enter the change number on the General Data tab page.

Prerequisites

Change master records for which you want to reserve documents must support document processing (object type settings).

Features

You reserve a document for a change master record by creating an object management record for this document.

  • You can reserve a document version in more than one change master record.

    As soon as there is a reservation for a document version, only one of the change numbers can be chosen for the version, or no change number is entered.

    Note Note

    You can either reserve one version (for example, version 08) or all versions of a document (enter * for the version) for the document key (document number, document type, and document part).

    End of the note.

  • You can copy one change number for the document.
