CC01 Change type is in hide mode for Change master

Question

Dear All,
Our requirement is to get the list of Change type in the CC01 T-code when we click the change master. When we select ECR then we are getting the change list of change type. But, when we select the change master as type, then change type is coming as grey field. So we want the list of change type in change master
Please suggest
Regards
Honyal

Hello Honeyl,
Try to understand the logic of  ECR (engineering change request).
*Change Type*
    This key defines the change type for the ECR (engineering change request).
*Dependencies*
    If you change objects with reference to an ECR, you control the change process using the following statuses:
    o   System status
    o   User status, if the change type has a status profile assigned to it
        in the IMG
    The system performs workflow tasks if defined.
    Note:
    You can only replace the change type with another change type if the
    following data is identical in both change types:
Status profile
Workflow task
Signature network
You can replace a change type without a signature network by a
change type with a signature network.
It means when you are intended to use the ECM with Statuses like CHKD ECRA ECOP And wish to maintain the controls like ECR to ECO creation and approval then the ECR and statues are required and supported also. the change type decides the different Statuses for the ECR. Hence the change type will be not available with Change Master, where these all status management are skiphence the change type decides the different Statuses for the ECRed and designed for simple change request for which the simple Change master are quite enough.
Kindly go through the Glossary help for them both.
Change Master:-
Data record which contains all the information required for managing a change.
It contains descriptive data (such as reason for change) and data with control functions (such as valid-from date and indicators for object types). In addition to this data, which you can maintain directly, there is also data which the system updates automatically (such as administrative data).
ECR:-
Change master record created with reference to a change type, which defines a specific procedure for the change.
You cannot process change objects with reference to an engineering request (ECR). The person responsible must approve the ECR and convert the ECR to an engineering change order (ECO).
