Article Change Documents for Custom Fields

Hi,
We have lot of custom fields defined in the article master. When the custom fields are changed through the online transaction, the changes are recorded in the change document tables (CDHDR / CDPOS). If the changes are made through the "BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT" the changes are not getting recorded in the change document tables and hence they cannot be viewed under "Environment -> Display Changes". Lately, this is causing big issues as users are using the custom attributes more seriously now..and we're having issues tracing back the changes...Users do not use online transactions to make the changes..The changes are submitted through the portal which are then submitted through the ARTMAS IDOC which in turn calls the BAPI....
We want to activate the change document functionality through IDOCs/BAPI....Is it configurable or has to be coded somewhere in the BAPI where it generates the custom segments for the custom fields....
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Sri

Hi,
You can use txn BD51 in which you can specify "BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT" and use "o" as Input without checking the Dialog allowed option.
I assume that you have already done the relevant settings for the change pointers for message type ARTMAS( BD50) and activate change poiinter for relevant document changes (in Txn BD52 by maintaining the relevant Object - MAT_FULL,Table name - MARA and ZZ fields)
Hope this helps,
Best Regards,
Aram.

Changed document for custom fields

Hi All,
For business transactions we can see changed documents under Extras menu.
I have custom tabs & custom fields in business transaction. We need to see the custom field changes by value & user in the above menu. Is it possible? how?
thanks,
Bhushan

Hi Murlidhar,
My question is related to SAP CRM. The notes you suggested are not for CRM.
Others, do you have any idea how to add/show records in "Extras-> Change Documents" of business transactions like Sales order, activities for custom fields not using EEWB.
thanks,

Displaying change documents for custom fields in FPP2

I have added a new subscreen to the Business partner via BUPT. The new fields are on a custom table. I have created change documents for the new fields and all that is working fine - details are being written to CDHDR/CDPOS as expected. In the standard FPP2 transaction the user can select Extras / Partner changes which will display a list of the change documents. This does not include my custom fields.
Does anyone know if it is possible to include my custom field changes in this list? I have searched several forums but cannot find any reference to this.

Hi,
Fix a break-point in the following function modules and check whether you are passing custom fields
CHANGEDOCUMENT_SINGLE_CASE
or
CHANGEDOCUMENT_MULTIPLE_CASE
SAP uses the above said function modules to update change documents. Its have two import paratmeters
WORKAREA_OLD
WORKAREA_NEW
or
TABLE_OLD
TABLE_NEW

Change Log for Custom fields

Hi All,
I need the change log for custom fields added in BP transaction codes.
Basically, for tracking the changes of master data in CDHDR and CDPOS tables we will enable the checkbox of dataelement related to custom field.
As for SAP fields in BP transaction code the change history is reflecting in CDHDR/CDPOS tables. i have enabled that for custom fields added to BP transaction code but i could not see the change history for such fields.
Please let us know if iam missing any other thing?

Hi Amit Singh,
Apart from clicking the checkbox in dataelement...
There are some settings need to be done by BASIS

Change documents for hr fields

Hi All,
I have a requirement in which we need to get the changes happening at field level in some Employee related (like PA0002) HR master data. We have checked that related fields, in those data elements check box is not enabled. For those changes we need to create interface program.
I already created change document object in scdo T-code. For triggering the generated function module there is no relevant user-exit.
For this we found one way of keeping the event trigger at database table level, and we found that we need to keep the form routine AB. But we dont have any idea about the process methodology.
Could you please tell me how to write the code in that related process routines in the standard tables? Or if there is another way is available to trap the changes at field level.
Thank You.
Regards,
Srinivas.

Change documents for customer Z table - serious help wanted

Hi all,
I am no beginner and I don't expect any comments from beginners.
Situation: My customer wants to replace the material valuation transactions MRN1 MRN2 MRN3 due to bad performance and locking problems with own developed programs.
The valuation results will be stored in a customer Z-Table on a monthly base. For auditing and transparency purposes, this Z-table has to get a change object and the update routines will have to write change documents.
Due to the expected size of the new Z-table, it is not advisable to simply switsch on table logging.
In this huge project (and in none I participated!) nobody ever implemented the change document process for a Z-table. BUT EVERYBODY CAN TELL YOU THI IS NO PROBLEM AT ALL.
I read some documentation at SAP and serached for threads or blogs here. I could not find anything desribing that in depth.
So before I start, I'd be happy to get some hints from people who created own change documents and implemented the process. Links to documentation and other helpful pages are also welcome.
If I can keep the process simple, I'd like to create a BLOG on this - because I think, in the future it will get more and more difficult to pass the auditing process with undocumented features and uncontrolled table changes.
TIA.
Regards,
Clemens

Hi,
Please check this thread.
http://www.sapdevelopment.co.uk/tips/changedoc/cd_createch.htm
Once you create your change document object using generate update pgm option then please check the WRITE document fm.

Capture Change history for customized field- MM02.

Hi Friends,
I have created one sub screen with one field i.e., Warranty card No. This will be stored in MARC-ZZMAT1. Change history cannot be capturing for this field. If I made any changes (MM02), we required to capture the changes history.
Please advise where I need to be configured to achieve the above requirement.
Best regards,
Raman.

Hi Raman,
When you define the field (SE11), in the further characteristics tab there is a field Change Document. This needs to be checked

Creating a custom change document for a standard table field

Hi
Is it possible to create a change document for a field in a standard table?
I have searched the forum and only found threads about creating change document to a custom table.
Will the creation of change documents to a standard SAP table be a modification?
Thanks.
Regards
Sowbhagya.L

Yes it will be a modification on standard table, but you can always create change document for any field by assigning it to custom change object.

Change Documents for the table EKET

Hi ,
We create a purchase order from ME21N . We do have some data for delivery schedule for the data .
This delivery schedule data gets stored in tabe EKET . When this PO is processed from V_V2 the dates
in the delivery schedule are overwritten and he new values will be even in the table EKET . When I follow
the navigation Environment -> Item Changes I dont see the changes documents for these fate fields . I did
debug through the FM EINKBELEG_WRITE_DOCUMENT to see but it looks like it is not captuirng the fields .
Now my requirement is to find where the change documents can be found for the date changes in the delivery
schedule tab in the PO . The fields of interest are :
EKET-SFLDT , EKET-DAT01, EKET-MBDAT , EKET-LDDAT , EKET-WADAT .
I tried for some OSS notes too, but in vain . Can anyone please help to find out how we find the changes documents for these fields .
Also please tell me if there are any OSS notes which explain us to extend the table EKET .
Thanks and Regards ,
Varun .

HI ,
I did check the table CDHDR and CDPOS and also the change document is checked for the data element but no change documents are stored in CDHDR and CDPOS .
Did anyone ever extend the tabke EKET ? Any OSS notes available for this .

Change document for NETWR_AK

Hi,
I thinking activated Change document flag for data element NETWR_AK (Net Value at Sales order header). Now if I change the price of an item or add a line item in a sales order,there is no change document created for it in CDPOS (Obviously the net value of the sales order will change).
I would expect a change document to be created in Table CDPOS every time the Net value of the Sales order is changed.
What is the implication is i mark the change document for this field, because when i try to activate it, it will warn me the dependability of this field to other table and structure which is quiet a lot....Will it jam my CDPOS in future?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I need this help because I need to create a SO history log report that captures this netwr value..the current standard in SAP is capture for item line....
Or anyone with a SO history log report smaple also can reply me....
Regards,
Raymond

Change documents for created for Customer Master

An existing program makes changes to the Customer master table KNA1. The changes are made at the table level using the UPDATE command. Since the changes are being made at table level, the change documents are not created.
I need to create IDocs for all changes. So the question is, how to create change documents for changes to the particular fields being UPDATEd in the report program.
I understand that a BDC program on XD01 screen should have been the best way for this, but I'm here to break-fix and trying to identify solutions with least development effort.

Hi ganadeep,
When an application makes any changes to an object it wrties change documents which are stored in the table CDHDR and CDPOS for each change made.
BDCP table holds the change pointers which point to the change documents in the CDHDR table.

Change documents for article

Dear all,
Some of the change documents for articles look like the one below. What is the way to find out what kind of change was performed on 10.04.2014?
Thank you very much!
Regards,
Miro

Hi Miro,
I understand your request.
But you will not find any additional information, which data was changed.
As said before: a field was changed for which no change document is written. So, the only thing documented was the change of MARA-LAEDA (as for this field, change document is written).

Tobias
