Engineering Change Mangement - Change Number Template

Hi Techies,
Is it possible to create any template for change number like EC_1234 (2 Characters _ Special character and followed by Numbers)
Can you please guide me on this.
Regards,
Kris.S

HI All,
As far as i checked with the number rangers, when we choose alpha numeric external numbering we are able to create the external numbering with respect to the special characters. But we are not able to create templates with respect to the special characters.
My observation on this.
Thanking you in advance.
Regards,
Kris.S

FM for the engineering change number to change status message to release

Hi,
I have a requirement to change the status message of engineering change number(transaction CC31 or CC32 ) automatically through a program. I have a thought of doing BDC but still i want to know any standard FM or class is available. Please help me if you have any suggestions.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Syed Samdani

Siva,
Did you check in Tcode OMSR.
Assign Fields to Field Selection Group - (OMSR)
Here you can define whether a field is hidden or displayed, or whether an entry is mandatory or optional in material master maintenance by assigning the field to a field selection group in OMSR.
Hope this Helps.

How can I Classification Creation with Engineering Change Number.

Dear.
I haver question about the title.
The followings are the steps of my test
1. I create the engineering change number without release1 (CC01)
2. I create the material code and basic view 1 and 2 with the engineering change number that is created in step 1. (MM11)
3. I intend to create the classification of this material with the engineering change number in CL20N but the system give the error message "Object not found".
When I change the classification view data with the engineering change number that is created in step1, It is very good without any problem.
Please help me.

Hi,
If you can mention error text system is giving then we may get cause of it and thus solution for same,
From information which you have given, it seems that as you have created material master with ECM number, material will be active only from effective date of that number. Hence when you are trying to assign class to that material system look for that material in current date ans hence is giving error.
Bye for now,

Enginering Change Number (ECN)& alternative date

Hi
We have a scenario like this:
We are having ECN effective in our system.
Now we want to use the alternative date functionality for some objects.
Ex:- we have a BOM with change number for which valid from date say" X".
Already change is effective from "X" date.
If we change valid from date of "X" to altrnate date say "Y"for this object, & if we want to change this object with reference to this change number , the system is automatically changing the earlier changes also new valid from date "Y".
I want to know is there any method to avoid this.
Any suggestion advnce thnks.
Regards
Rao

Hi Rao
actually alternative date functionality is used like if you have BOM, task list created with reference to an ECn with a validity date and suppose you wish to activate the Bom to a different validity date with same ECN. then BOm will be active from the alternative date whereas the tasklist will be active from the validity data of the ECN.
procedure
in CC01 or CC02
verify objects are assigned to the ECN ( BOM, TL etc) by selecting the object assginment button if not assigned then assign the same.
create the ECN with alternatedatekay and alternate dates by presssing the altrnate date button.
after creating the altrnate dates
from the same screen select the alternate date and then press the object assignement button
Now select the appropriate object and then press assignobject. now press the details key you can see the alternate date assigned
Just save it
thats all everything is fine

SQVI Engineering change report

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a SQVI report to show:
a) Engineering Change number (AENR-AENNR)
b) Validate from (AENR-DATUV)
c) Plant and d) Item (for those, I use AEOI-USOBJ. This field stores the concatenation of plant and model, and there's no need to treat this)
e) Description of item (AEOI-OITXT)
f) Old part number (AENR-MATNR_LIDER)
g) Old part description
h) Old part qty
i) New part number (STPO-IDNRK)
j) New part description
k) New part qty (STPO-MENGE)
for now, the structure of tables in SQVI is this:
I'm trying to do a join between AENR (or AEOI) and STPO to get information about the new part (i and k above), but there are no filters to do it. In an example, I use an engineering change document that changes 4 models, trading the same components in all models:
Model: Y11111
Old part: 1111111
New part: 2222222
Model: Y22222
Old part: 1111111
New part: 2222222
Model: Y33333
Old part: 1111111
New part: 2222222
Model: Y44444
Old part: 1111111
New part: 2222222
The problem is that there are no filters to determine what is the BOM that have to be shown for each model, so all the old and new parts are shown for every model, like this:
Model: Y11111
Old part: 1111111
New part: 2222222
Old part: 1111111
New part: 2222222
Old part: 1111111
New part: 2222222
Old part: 1111111
New part: 2222222
Model: Y222222
Old part: 1111111
New part: 2222222
Old part: 1111111
New part: 2222222
Old part: 1111111
New part: 2222222
Old part: 1111111
New part: 2222222
and the same for Y33333 and Y44444.
I tried to do a join between AEOI and STPO using STAS, but STAS stores the BOM category and the BOM separated, while AEOI stores these concatenaded.
STAS
AEOI
How can I treat this? I searched for a lot of tables, and none of them suits me in this case. Do you know any another tables that could give me the filter I need in this case?
And one more doubt: the new part number and old part number are in different tables (STPO and AENR, respectively). How can I do the join with MAST table in this case?
Thanks in advance,
Bitar

This is not really an ABAP question, you might want to move this to MM or PP forum.
If you know of a standard transaction that provides this kind of information, you could use SQL Trace (ST05) to see how tables are being accessed.
I'm not an expert on these particular tables but you might need to do this in SQ01 query instead because we can write some programming code in those queries. Some table links might not be that straightforward, as you've noted.

Error in change number creating BOM in Engineering Type.

Can anyone guys help me with my problem.
I'm creating Bom using BAPI_MATERIAL_BOM_GROUP_CREATE.
Every time I create BOM Using one bom only in engineering and all BOM for materials were created.
But every time i create rerun the program and have different change number on its components, the error occur,
"Generation not Supported for Change number"
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks and God Bless.

In case errors rollback.... I beleive the following logic would resolve your issue.
constants:c_error_type(1) type c value 'E'.
call function 'BAPI_MATERIAL_BOM_GROUP_CREATE'
    exporting
      testrun                  = l_testmode
    tables
      bomgroup                 = l_bomgroup
      variants                 = l_variants
      items                    = l_items
      subitems                 = l_subitems
      materialrelations        = l_materialrelations
      itemassignments          = l_itemassignments
      subitemassignments       = l_subitemassignments
      return                   = l_return.
if l_testmode is initial.
    read table l_return with key type = c_error_type.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
      call function 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_ROLLBACK'.
    else.
      call function 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'.
     endif.

Engineering Change management SPRO

Dear Experts,
Does any body know what is "Define output format for change number" in SPRO --> Cross Application components --> Engineering change management --> Define output format for change number.
When I try to execute I dont see it allowing me to enter / change any details there. It just gives a screen with no values.
I am trying to see if this helps to define alpha numeric format for internal change number.
Thanks

Hi
this functionality is to Define Input and output length of change number and for template for output of change number if required . For creating new entries in menu bar goto EDIT - > New Entries

Change Number in aut10 report.

Dear All,
what is Change number in Aut10 Report and in which manner we can use it?? iam taking it through Tcode wise.

You have to change the Default Workbook template in the Global Settings of BEx Analyzer. You might have to do this directly in production environment.
Open up a query in BEx Analyzer. Change the logo or add the logo and any information you want to default in all reports. Save as a workbook and then click on global settings to set that workbook as a default.
The below link gives you detailed step by step method to create default templates.

Changing HTML templates for Standard SRM screens!!!!!

Hello SRM gurus,
I have to modify the standard SRM PO screen. I have modified the screen and added the requirement tracking number field but on activation it gives me message to adapt the HTML template manually.
How to change HTML template assigned to the screen? Also what more needs to be done for the field to appear on the SRM portal?
I am not aware even of the transaction code to be used.
Your help will highly be appreciated and rewarded.
Regards,
Shrikant Gavali.

Hi,
You need not chnage the Standard SRM screen nor the HTML template to add a custom field in the PO sceen.
Please check these notes:
672960 - user-defined fields.pdf
676016 - user-defined fields.pdf
There is an additional note for req tracking no not available in SC but in your case you want the field in PO so wont be relevant.
Note 676016 - SRM: Requirement Tracking Number not available
Also refre this weblog for adding custom fields in the std SRM screens:
/people/nanda.kondagunta/blog/2006/10/23/how-to-create-custom-fields-in-srm
The tcode for PO is BBP_POC.If you ever need to modify the HTML template for this screen/trascn,goto SE80.select Internet service as BBP_POC.There you can see all the HTNL templates and each of which corresponds to some screen in the trascn BBP_POC(PO trascn).

BOM integrity in SAP with respect to part version, engineering changes-DMS

Hai folks,
We have a concept of engg bom and plant bom, when a part no. is intiated for the change management
it goes through a version change which is handled through DMS in SAP.
The scenario is, i want to sink the version of the part with my document version .(i.e in our plant our component part number and drawing document number are same.)
When i do a bom comparison using CS14, different field comparison's are thrown, except for the version difference.
I doubt , since DMS is a centrally controlled area, it makes no sense to compare versions in the same SAP boundary, but can it be managed through some DMS object links in our system.
Pl throw some concepts to ensure different BOM intergrity with respect to part versions and engineering changes.

Since there are no replies, I am closing this issue

Change number mandatory Routing for a particular Plant

Dear All,
i have requirement to make change no field mandatory for only one plant. this field should not be mandatory for other plant. I tried with OP5A tcode, using plant as influencing field, change no as modified field and content as plant no. so its working but,
it doesnt work for the 1st time execution. from 2nd time only its working. like this user will be able to make the changes without change number in every login 1st time.
So i set the plant as user parameter in user profile and made it working. but its not full proof soluton. can any one suggest some solution??
please suggest.
Thanks & Regards

Hello Santosh
The change number requirements on CS02 is controlled by the authorization object C_STUE_ROH.
Note 420878 provides more information about this scenario.
Check the relevant information provided on the note below:
Symptom
In Customizing of the BOM, the history requirement is set or a BOM requires a history. Despite this, it is possible to process BOMS without engineering change management. The system only processes a warning message (29 045) which can be skipped.
Additional key words
CS02, change number, OS27, W045(29)
Cause and prerequisites
Authorization profile
Solution
Check the authorization profile of the respective user.
Example:
         C_STUE_NOH <OBJ>
            &_SAP_ALL    <AUT>
                NOHIS      <FLD>
would have the authorization to process BOMs requiring history without a change number. In this case, if you change '*' to ' ' in NOHIS, you will no longer receive a warning, but rather an error message.

Change Number and Process Route

Hi Experts,
I have seen in the Change Master Web-UI is a register for Process Route.
When I'm trying to create a Process Route, the Activities are missing.
Where is the customizing to set Process Route Activities for the Change Master?
And where is the customizing to create the event to start the Process Route?
I have allready done some customizing for the SAP Case Management and the Engineering Record.
I hope you can help me.
Regards,
Thomas

To customize process route to the change number in the Web-UI the following steps has to be done:
Create Activities
To create activities use TA SRMCUSTOMIZING: Records Management --> Customizing for Process Route --> Create or Change Activities and Activity Functions
Create new entries depending on ECN_DIS
Define Activities for GOS-Objects
To define activities for GOS-Objects use TA SPRO: SAP Customizing Implementation Guide --> Logistics - General --> Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) --> PLM Web User Interface --> Objects in PLM Web UI --> Process Route --> Define Activities for GOS Objects for Process Routes
Create new entries depending on the activities created before and for the Object Type PLM_ECN
Check Agent Assignment for all created Standard Tasks
Now it is prossilbe to add steps to the process route to a change number.
To start the workflow the following steps has to be done:
Define Type Linkages for Workflow
TA SWETYPV - Type linkages:
Create an entry if not existing
Object Category: CL
Object Type: /PLMB/CL_PROCESS_ROUTING_WF_BO
Event: START_WORKFLOW
Receiver Type: WS00100012
Receicer Function Module: SWW_WI_CREATE_VIA_EVENT_IBF
Linkage Activated: X
Behavior Upon Error Feedback: 3 - Do not change linkage
Define Instance Linkages for Workflow
TA SWEINST - Instance linkages:
Create an entry if not existing
Object Category: CL
Object Type: /PLMB/CL_PROCESS_ROUTING_WF_BO
Event: STOP_WORKFLOW
Receiver Type: WS00100012
Receicer Function Module: SWW_WI_COMP_EVENT_RECEIVE_IBF
Linkage Activated: X
Behavior Upon Error Feedback: 3 - Do not change linkage
Thanks for your help

Error in change Number ..pls Help Me..urjent

<b>Hi all..
when i run a transaaction ( Zasd) in PRD with change number 11784 the report works fine. But when i enter
change number 11929 . iwill get error change order not found. but when i use CC03 transactoin with this change number i saw the details for this number..
pls suggest me what i do..i think report is ok.is it right ???? what i do..pls help me..
thanks in advance...
the selection sereen is below....

PARAMETERS: p_anego TYPE c AS CHECKBOX DEFAULT co_true.
get all engineering change details
CREATE OBJECT go_engchange EXPORTING changeorder = p_chgnr.</b>

Hello Papai
In order to track down the problem I would suggest two things you should check with change number 11929:
(1) Does your report actually pass the CREATE OBJECT statement or do the other select-parameters prevent that this change number is found?
(2) If the class used for go_engchange can be publicly instantiated, then call the class builder (SE24) with the class and test it. In test mode you can create an instance using your change number as input.
(3) If instantiation fails then repeat it in debugging mode. Sooner or later you must find the error source.

Uwe

Change Number
     Number used to uniquely identify a change master record.
Engineering Change Management (LO-ECH)
Data record that contains all the information required
for managing a change.
A change master record contains descriptive data, such
as the reason for the 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 data that the system updates
automatically, such as administrative data.
Use
     If you make a change with reference to a change number, or create an
     object with a change number, the following functions are at your
     disposal:
     o   The system determines the validity conditions
     The conditions that the change is effective under can be defined in the
     change master record as follows:
         -   Changes with a date validity (valid-from date)
         -   Changes with parameter effectivity (for example: serial no.
             effectivity)
     o   Log of the changes made
o   Documentation of the changes
o   Assignment of a revision level to a change state of a material or
    document
o   Release of changes for the different areas in the company
