BOM and ECN, what's the best way to do it?

Hello Experts,
I want to use ECN to keep track of changes on mulitlevel BOMs, but I am struggeling with understanding how this is done in the best way.
Basically, my understanding is that if you want to do a change, you create a change master and set a validity date. Then, next time you want to do a change, a new change master is created with its validity date. So you end up with a lot of change masters for the same BOM.
Now, how am I supposed to report all changes done to a BOM in a userfriendly and easy way? I cannot find a report that gives me changes pr part/BOM number?
Am I missing the point here or do you have any good ideas?

Dear GAR,
Change number helps you to find out the history of the objects like BOM,material master.
The history includes the creation,changes and deletion of datas.
But there is no direct report in SAP where in you will get all the details like in which field the change
has happened in combination with ECM.
You can have a look in the reports like CC05,CC04,CC07.
Still if this does not suit your business requirements means then you have to go for a customized report.
You can also refer these links related to ECM,

  • My fiancee lives in the Philippines, I have a mac and ipad2, what is the best way for us to video chat?

    How can I video chat with my fiancee who lives in the Philippines? I have a mac and ipad2 she has a pc? We havew been using Skype but the sound and video quality are not very good. is it because of the distance or because I am not a paying member?

    How good are the internet connections you are using?
    I've found that a faster connection improves the quality tremendously. I regularly Skype from France to Australia using a 20mb connection (France) and 8mb connection (Australia) and the quality is superb most of the time. When I only had a 1mb connection the call quality was often quite poor.
    I've only ever used the free service so I'm not sure paying would make any difference.

  • What is the best way to move a library?

    What is the best way to move my iphoto library from this computer to an external HD? And then what is the best way to remove it from this computer?

    Make sure the EHD is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) with ownership set to be ignored.  Drag the iPhoto library from your Pictures folder to the EHD,
    When the copying is completed launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and open the library on the EHD. 
    Once you've confirmed that the move was successful and the EHD library is working OK you can drag the library in your Pictures folder to the Trash bin in the Dock and empty it.

  • What is the best way to back up my imac

    I am new to using an imac and wondered what is the best way to back the data up? Can I back it up to the cloud and if so how do I do this?

    The first response pretty much covers it.  Time Machine is a great backup for restoring individual files or folders.  It can also be used as a full system restore, but you cannot boot from a TM backup and run the computer from it.  You can do that from a clone, which can be useful should your hard drive fail utterly.
    I have a TM backup on one external drive, and I use bus powered portable external drives for clones.  I like thes as I can keep one offsite, and another one stays at home, but is in the firesafe except when being updated.
    The two main cloning apps are Shirt Pocket Software's SuperDuper, and Bombich softeware's CarbonCopyCloner, both very reasonably priced.  Note that CCC will work over a network, while SuperDuper will not - other than that they have very similar features, including automatic update scheduling.

    Of course you can buy drives at all sorts of places (Amazon, Newegg, TigerDirect,...) but a good place that services Apple computer users specifically is Other World Computing (http://www.macsales.com/) who also sell some very good quality drives and external enclosures.

  • HT1349 I lost/had my iPhone stolen. Tried using Find My iPhone and it's offline. It was set up. What do I do now? Do I report it stolen? What is the best way in getting back my iPhone if any? Thank you in advance.

    Tried using Find My iPhone and it's offline. It (Find my iPhone) was set up. What do I do now? Do I report it stolen? What is the best way in getting back my iPhone if any? Thank you in advance.

    Find My iPhone is good for misplaced iPhone but not good for thief and it was never meant to be.
    You chance of getting it back is very small.
    There are a few things you can try.
    Try remote lock/wipe your iPhone through Find My iPhone.

    You can report to the police, cell carrier (expensive cell charges for international calls, roaming etc)

  • What is the best way to read and manipulate large data in excel files and show them in Sharepoint

    Hi ,
    I have a large excel file that has 700,000 records in it. The excel file has a few columns that change every day.
    What is the best way to read the data form the excel file in fastest and most efficient way.
    2 nd Problem,
    I have one excel file that has many rows each row contain some data that has certain keywords.
    What I want is  to segregate the data of rows into respective sheets(tabs ) in the workbook.
    for example in rows have following data 
    1. Alfa
    2beta
    3 gama
    4beta
    5gama
    6gama
    7alfa
    in excel
    I want there to be 3 tabs now with each of the key words alfa beta and gamma.

    Hi,
    I don't really see any better options for SharePoint. SharePoint use other production called 'Office Web App' to allow users to view/edit Microsoft Office documents (word, excel etc.). But the web version of excel doesn't support that much records as well
    as there's size limitations (probably the default max size is 10MB).
    Regarding second problem, I think you need some custom solutions (like a SharePoint timer job/webpart ) to read and present data.
    However, if you can reduce the excel file records to something near 16k (which is supported rows in web version of excel) then you can use SharePoint Excel service to refresh data automatically in the excel file in SharePoint from some external sources.
    Thanks,

  • I am trying to rebuild my iPhoto library and noticed my backup contains aliases (pointers?) and not the actual file. What's the best way to rebuild my library?

    I am trying to rebuild my iPhoto library and noticed my backup contains aliases (pointers?) and not the actual file. What's the best way to rebuild my library?
    Facts:
    In moving to a new iMac, I copied the iPhoto library to an external HDD assuming that I would point the new iMac to the backed up iPhoto Library
    All worked fine when I pointed the new library but noticed that some folders contained aliases and not the original file. So when I attempt to open that photo it can't find it because the alias is pointing to another drive.
    I do have all original photos from a couple of external HDDs. In the folders titled, "Originals" (from older versions of iPhoto) and "Masters" (from current iPhoto)
    I'm thinking I can create a new folder and drop the original files and make that my new iPhoto library. Is there a better way to rebuild my library? I do not want to create any future aliases.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    do you have a strongly recommended default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a referenced library - you have unchecked that option?
    It sounds like you have a referenced library and are now experiancing one of the very siginificant drawbacks of a referenced library and one of the many reasons they are strongly not recommended
    Also note that iPhoto '11 may use alises in the originals folder as part of the upgrade
    It is important that we understand exactly what you have and what is not sorking - what error messages you are getting
    You must NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure of content of the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it  --  and you can not rebuild yoru librtary - only iPhoto ir iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  can rebuild a library unless you are a SQL programmer and understand the structure that iPhoto uses

  • What is the best way to open emails and attachments without using wifi?

    For I-phone and I-pad, what is the best way to open emails and attachments without using wifi?  I turned off wifi in my settings but my boss thinks there may be another way and a better way to use something else instead of wifi.  Any help would be appreciated!  Thank you!

    Thanks!  That is a very good question you post.  My boss asked me that and I am assuming that he is having issues with using wifi wherever he is at.  My boss is the kind of person that when he asks something you look into it and ask him no questions...he's the only one asking questions!  But thank you for your response I will tell him the information you told me and hopefully that will help!

  • What is the best way to import and edit a large amount of footage?

    Hello Apple world,
    As a newbie to Final Cut 10 I have a question regarding best ways to import footage. I'll give you a quick run down.
    I have a 150 gig of gopro footage that I just hit 'import' to recently (from my external HD), it took around 10 hours to process it all.
    Its all under one event, but then somewhat organised into dates etc. But it is very slow. I imported it all at once because it was all footage from the last 6 months of my Whistler/states/fiji trip and want to make a movie out of it, using clips from all over the time, not just in chronological order.
    I have the latest mac book pro, 4 gig ram,2.4 GHz i7, 750 hard drive, with nothing else on the computer.
    Ive read about creating proxy media, after ive imported, but am still somewhat confused as to the benefit. Does it create duplicates? that will fill up my pretty large HD as it is!
    Can you suggest any ways that might make my laptop run a bit faster? Should i delete and work directly from external HD etc etc?
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance

    Hello,
    I've just finished shooting what I am considering to be my directorial masterpiece.  Shot it on the Canon 5D (1080p, 24fps), and the footage looks amazing.  Now I am ready to start editing and have been using premiere lately, but I have yet to figure out the proper pipeline.  I want to know the best way to retain resolution before I delve into this project.
    My questions:
    1)  What is the best way to start a new project and import the footage without having to render whilst editing, so as to retain all resolution and originality of the source footage?
    2)  What is the best way/ codec/ format to export this same footage once editing is complete so as to retain that crisp 1080p for which the 5D is so recognized?
    3)  What is the best way/ codec/ format to import and export/ render between premiere and after effects?  I am speaking mostly of vfx and color correction.  I also have some 30fps footage that I intend to slow down in AE and then import into premiere.
    I know this is pretty broad, but as a solo filmmaker I really need someone's guidance.  I rarely ever finish my films with the same, crisp look as the footage.  I need pipeline help, and really appreciate it!
    1. Follow the advice above. Also use the Media Browser to import the footage in case you have spanned media files. Import files with the Media Browser.
    2. It largely depends on what you wish to ouput to: Blu-ray, web, etc. This FAQ gives the best answer: What are the best export settings?
    3. Use the Replace with Adobe After Effects Composition function.

  • What is the best way to encode and compress?

    I just finished an hour and a half long video of comedians performing. The client wants this to be put on dvd so he can mass produce it. What is the best way to compress this and encode it? Should I buy compressor or can I do it in handbrake? What are the best best settings to make sure it doesnt lose quality? Please advise...

    You should be able to get up to 2 hours at least.
    The best way is to export as a Master File and drop it into iDVD, Toast or some other DVD authoring app.

  • What is the Best way To Copy and paste data from 1 book to another

     I have 18 sheets in 5 different books that I want to extract data from specific cells.  What is the best way to do this?  Example:  1 sheet is called Numbers E-O1 data in 13:WXYZ. The data updates and moves up 1 row every time I enter
    a new number. So let's say I enter the number 12. Through a lot of calculations the output goes in 13:WXYZ. To what I call a counter which is a 4 digit number.  Anyways, how can I send that 4 digit number to a totally different sheet?  To bullet
    what I'm talking about
    data in cells Row 13:WXYZ in book called Numbers sheet E-O1
    send data to book called "Vortex Numbers" Sheet E-O row 2001:CDEF
    What formula or Macro can I use to make this work?
    thank you!

    Hello Larbec,
    Syntax:
    '[BookName]SheetName'!Range
    Enter in cell  2001:CDEF:
    ='[Numbers]E-O1'!13:WXYZ
    This assumes that the file is open in Excel. Otherwise you need to add the path:
    'ThePath[BookName]SheetName'!Range

  • What Is the best way to upload and download psd files from Photoshop to Photoshop Touch? [was:Re]

    What Is the best way to up load and down load psd files from desktop photo shop to photo shop touch? For on the go touch up or. I'm using psd files at 90 percent 300 depi when in photo shop on desktop. To ps touch

    Hi Bford225,
    I'd recommend using your favorite web browser and going to https://creative.adobe.com/files for uploading from the computer.
    Keep in mind tablet capabilities are much less than a computer, so large files might take a long time to download and be very system intensive to work on. Although you can import files up to 12 megapixels I'd recommend something more mid range, like 6 or 7 megapixels, ie 2880 x 2160 or 3072 x 2304.
    Also, PSD files are flattened when imported into Photoshop Touch.
    Hope that helps,

  • What is the best way to store and search 2D data

    Hi,
    There is a set of data (~10k records ) in 2D dimension.
    like this :
    Col 1, Col 2, Col3....
    What is the best way to store and search those records ?
    Thanks in advance
    Wilson

    Hi,
    Either userObjet[][] if you know how much data you have, and the data size is fixed, or use a list of lists. E.g. A Vector of Vectors (some will probably say that you should use an ArrayList instead, and that could be the case, but it sounds like you would want to display the data later on, and a DefaultTableModel (for JTables) uses a Vector as data holder).

  • What is the best way to drop and recreate a Primary Key in the Replication Table?

    I have a requirement to drop and recreate a primary key in a table which is part of Transaction replication. What is the best way to fo it other than remove it from replication and add again?
    Thanks
    Swapna

    Hi Swapna,
    Unfortunately you cannot drop columns used in a primary key from articles in transactional replication.  This is covered in
    Make Schema Changes on Publication Databases:
    You cannot drop columns used in a primary key from articles in transactional publications, because they are used by replication.
    You will need to drop the article from the publication, drop and recreate the primary key, and add the article back into the publication.
    To avoid having to send a snapshot down to the subscriber(s), you could specify the option 'replication support only' for the subscription.  This would require the primary key be modified at the subscriber as well prior to adding the article back in
    and should be done during a maintenance window when no activity is occurring on the published tables.
    I suggest testing this out in your test environment first, prior to deploying to production.
