Mass maintainance  MM17
1.     Choose Mass Maintenance  Dialog processing and specify the relevant application, that is, object type. The application appears automatically if you have accessed the mass maintenance tool from the area menu for the application. If you have defined a variant, you can enter it on this screen. Choose Execute.
2.     If you have not entered a variant, select the tables in which you want to change data, for example, if the application is the material master, you may want to select table MAKT containing the material descriptions. Choose Execute.
3.     Specify selection criteria as required to restrict the number of objects to be changed. By choosing Choose selection fields, you can include other fields for which you can enter selection criteria, for example, you can include the field Material description and then select all materials containing the character string bolt. Choose Execute.
The system selects the data records. Depending on the number of records selected, you are offered the option of continuing in dialog mode or of making the changes in the background, in which case a workflow can inform you when they have been made. If you remain in online mode, the system displays the selected data records.
4.     Choose Select fields. In the dialog box that appears, include the fields you want to change, and choose Enter.
5.     Enter the new value in the header of the respective column, select the column label (for example, Description), select the data records to be changed, and choose Change field values.
You also have the following options:
o     Changing a field only if it has a given current value
You do this by choosing Restrictions and entering the new value in the first line and the value to be replaced in the second line.
o     Displaying the previous values
If you have changed values, but not yet left the transaction, you can display the previous values below the new values by choosing Old values. To display any changes in the database (for example, changes made meanwhile to data records by other persons), choose Refresh.
o     Testing your changes
Before saving your changes, you can test whether they are possible. You do this by choosing Test changes. This is not necessarily faster than saving your changes, as the same checks are made.
6.     Save your data.
The system checks the changed data for consistency. Inconsistent changes are rejected and an entry made in the log accordingly.
The system displays a log indicating whether the changes were made and any errors that occurred. Depending on the application, you can choose Change object to access the respective object in change mode to resolve the errors concerned.
Besides changing existing values, you may sometimes want to create new records, for example, to define a further unit of measure for a material. You can do this using a reference record if required.
1.     Carry out steps 1 and 2 in Making Mass Changes.
2.     If you do not want to change existing data, select the Do not change existing data indicator on the tab page Data records to be changed.
3.     Choose the tab page Data records to be created.
4.     Enter the selection criteria for:
o     Creating the new records
o     Determining the reference record if required
You are guided through this step by a dialog box containing information and examples.
