Activate Change Document - Product Master Data

Hi Experts,
I am looking for comments on the following things. I hope the experts could share experience related to real time projects that you have worked / are working.
I am considering the option to activate Change Documents for Product Master data, Product Location Master data and Transportation Lanes.
Question I have (Please answer on any or all of the questions, if you can):
1. Have you activated change documents on Product Master data? If so, how many products you have in total (number of entries in /SAPAPO/MATKEY)?
Have you turned it off later due to performance reasons? Or Storage/hardware constraints?
2. Do you have the change documents active on Location product master data? How many location products do you have in total (no. of entries in /SAPAPO/MATLOC)?
3. Transportation lanes - Change documents activated? Does it also say if the external procurement relationship is activated or deactivated and the user who did this and date? How many transportation lanes do you have in total? Is there a possibility to activate the change documents on transportation lanes only for those which are procured from external vendors (not for Stock transfers... only for those arrives in from Suppliers)?
Thanks,
Suresh

Hi Satish,
Thanks for your reply
2 more question:
1. Are you logging the changes to all fields of product/product-location master data? Or you are logging only some of the data like: Product UoM changes / Product Header / etc?
2. Also, regarding transportation lanes, does it also say who activated or deactivated the external procurement relationship and when?
Thanks,
Suresh

  • Activate Change Document Check box in Data Element "J_CHGKZ"

    Hi experts,
    Our developer want to activate the change document for the data element "J_CHGKZ". The access key has been applied. We have tried to activate the change document check box in SE11, but the change box is disabled even in change mode. Has anyone come across this before and does anyone have a solution to this?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    SAP does not allow to use change management for date, time fields. Thats the reason for not allowing change to BDTER field.
    Hope that answers your question.
    Thanks

  • Transferring Product Master Data Changes From APO to ECC/R/3

    Is it possible to transfer product master data changes in APO to ECC via the CIF?  If so, does it require custom coding?

    Hi James,
    In all the different clients where APO is being used with ECC systems. ECC system is always the main system (system of record) which contains all the master data and data present in ECC supposed to be the reference for APO system for planning purpose.
    Generally it is not recommended to transfer master data from APO to ECC but as mentioned earlier by some experts you may have ways to do that.
    I would be interested in the business scenario where one needs to transfer master data from APO to ECC.
    Thanks,

  • ACTIVATE CHANGE DOCUMENTS PERFORMANCE

    G'day Team,
    Client is using SCM7.0.  The Activate Change Documents has been set for Location Product (LocProd; LocProd Costs; LotSize/DS; SNP Demand Par; SNP Supply Par & Deploy Params). 
    Can someone Pls advise for Product Header: What does this indicator include from Prod Mast? Is it Only Properties1 OR does it include Prop1; Prop2; Class; ATP Data; SNP1; & storage data
    If the UOM is selected what is impact on performance
    If UOM & Product Header indicators are selected is there a large impact on performance.  The current Prod / loc = 6.5K > End state is 100  -150K prod / locs.
    This is an impact assesment.
    Many thanks,
    Andy Goz
    SAP APO Consultant

    Hi Andy Goz,
    Using this activate function, you can specify whether or not changes made
    to product master data are to be logged.
    When you set the corresponding indicator, the system creates a change
    document for every change in the master data fields that can be changed
    by the user.
    The change document also logs the value of the field before a change is made.
    This allows you to trace the way in which the field was changed at a certain
    time.
    If there is a high volume of data, change logging using change documents
    can affect performance.
    You can read the changed characteristics using transaction
    /SAPAPO/PROD_CD_READ

    once change docuements are inpalce check RBDMIDOC program is scheduled in back ground or you can manually execute the program for testing.
    and check the IDoc generated.
    do you  want supress some segements?
    di your NOn-sap ssytem can accept Idoc?

  • To track changes to the master data

    Is there a report or program to run to see, who made changes to the master data, deleted a record or so?
    Please help.

    Hi ,
    Use the report RPUAUD00(Logged changes in infotype data). This report is  to display all documents that were created with the creation of infotype log (short: Change documents). any changes, creation/deletion.
    to ensure that changes to infotype fields are entered (changes, creations, deletions), these fields must be maintained in the following views: HR Documents: Infotypes with Documents (V_T585A), HR Documents: Field Group Definition (V_T585B), and HR Documents: Field Group Characteristics (V_T585C).
    Hope this hellp you.

  • Attribute Change Run VS Master data activation

    hello guys
    I just want to know whats the difference between 'Attribute Change Run' and Master data Activation...For me,both seem to serve same purpose.......in which scenarios do we use them?
    Thanks and Regards
    S

    Hi S,
        Although they seem to be the same there are differences.
    Master Data activation.: When you load master data, they are loaded as D or M versions. Check the table as /BI0/P<infoobject tech name> , you will see different versions, if you have not activated your master data yet.
    Note : If you are checking for SAP standard objects, drop the 0 eg table for 0MATERIAL would be /BI0/PMATERIAL.
    When you activate master data, all D and M versions of records get transferred into A or active versions. So after activation, you should not find anything other than A versions.
    ACR: The use of an ACR is two fold. 1st use is that it performs the same action as a master data activation automatically.
    The 2nd function, is that it realligns the aggregates for the changed attributes
    let me give you an example.
    You have an aggregate based on material group which is an aggregate of material.
    Consider that you have a material X which initial belonged to group A.
    The aggregate would look like this
    Material Material Group Keyfigure
    X                  A                      100
    Now you change the material group of the same material as B
    The aggregate would not change automatically....ie it would still be X A 100
    To realign the aggregate,you use an ACR. After running an ACR, the aggregate would look like
    X B 100
    Hope this helps.
    Regards.

    Execute the worklist in AR31 and refresh it till all changes are completed.

  • Mass change of customer master data

    Hi,
    I would like to do a mass change of customer master data.
    I need to remove the international VAT register number for local Polish customers, as we will use the local NIP number for these customers.
    Which transaction code do I need to use?
    Are there any things I should keep in mind?
    Thank you.
    Kind regards,
    Linda

    Hi,
    You haev a Transaction called MASS. Please check whether you have the authorization for the same. If you have then it is very much easy for you to maintain the same. If you dont have the MASS authorization then you have to create a LSMW and then make the change.
    Steps:
    1. Enter MASS
    2. Object type - Select KNA1 (avaialble in the drop down) and execute
    3. You should have an option "Customer master (VAT registration numbers general section) " with table KNAS. Execute
    You will be able to choose those customers whom you want and make the changes.
    Hope this should help you.

  • Online Change Transfer for Master Data

    HI,
    whats transaction for Online Change Transfer for Master Data, and how to use it.
    regards
    manish

    Hi Manish ,
    You make the settings for change transfers in transaction *CFC9 (Change Transfer
    for Master Data setting)*
    For material masters, customers and vendors, the change transfer can occur
    periodically or can be executed online immediately. You also have the option of
    deactivating the change transfer.
    You can also configure an immediate change transfer for work centers and
    resources. In this case, the change transfer only concerns the header data of the
    individual work center capacities.
    Hope it will help you.
