Engineering Change Number

Hi Everybody,

We have an issue regarding ECN - Release functionality.

When we are creating the ECN with Release Key, we are not able to select the indicator '' object type active for change number '' for Material / Object dependencies / Configuration profile / Variant table objects. System was not allowing us to change the above objects with a change number created with Release Key.

This is really strange, i looked at all the possible settings but not able to figure it out.

Did anybody worked with ECN's with Release keys?

Your helpful will be really appreciated if anybody can give hints / settings i have to do?

Thanks,

kanth

Hi Kanth

This behavior is standard. But it is possible to activate

all object types for ECR with release key. Please have a

look at the note 159414 which explains how to do this.

You should only need to make the changes associated with include

CCINCLC1.

Keep in mind, this allows you to add objects of these type to

the ECM. It does NOT provide the release key functionality for those

other object types. They will become effective on the validity date

of the ECM, regardless of the release key status.

Should this resolve the problem, please let me know by confirming this

message.

Regards

Rehman

<b>Symptom</b>

You cannot use a change package for all object types as the indicators for setting the object types are not active.The situation is similar for a change number with <b><b>release key.</b></b>

<b>Additional key words</b>

Engineering change management ; Object type ; Release key ; Change package

<b>Cause and prerequisites</b>

The function 'Release key' is not, in general, used for all of the

object types implemented in the system.

<b>Solution</b>

So that a change number (with release key or as a change package) can also be used for all object types, make the following modification in the system:

In Include CCINCLC1, field CUSFL-F04 must be filled with value 'X' (F04 LIKE CSDATA-CHAR1 VALUE 'X').

IMPORTANT NOTE:

As a result, functions such as release keys are not available for the 'additional' object types even if the fields are active!

Read the F1 help for field 'Release key' as well.

<b>PROGRAM CCINCLC1</b>

Delta 001

Context Block

*INCLUDE CCINCLC1.

data: begin of cusfl,

f01 like csdata-char1 value ' ',

f02 like csdata-char1 value ' ',

f03 like csdata-char1 value ' ',

Delete Block

f04 like csdata-char1 value ' ',

Insert Block

f04 like csdata-char1 value 'X',
