Order Change Management(OCM) in SAP

Dear All,
OCM is applicable in MTO Scenario.
Kindly let me know the steps involved to activate OCM n how to proceed
further.

Hi Bagchi,
Order Change Management is applicable for MTO/MTS Scenario,
First:-
In WorkScheduling View of Material Master (FERT/HALB or Any Defined for Production) you need to maintain "Overall Profile"
This Overall profile should be configured in SPRO > PRoduction>Shop Floor Control > Operations>Change Management for Production Orders-->Define Overall Change Profile.
Process of OCM follows this way:
Create a Change Number CC01 with Release Key
In Object Types select/tick "Actv", "object", "MgtRec",
You get the Change Number by Saving .
Use this Change Number to Change BOM or Routings
Then Release the Change Number useing Release Key till then you don't find the Change of BOM in Production Order.
Then go to Oder Change Process T Code :- COCM
Tick Change Number and Select the Change Number & Execute
Select the Production Order, click on Procurement element icon you get another screen select and execute again.
You get an Pop-Up screen. "Determine changes, Check changes, Change Original Order.
you see the changes in BOM for Production Order i.e. after COCM.
Then Confirm the Changes in Production Order then New changes will be Active in production Order.

WHAT IS ORDER CHANGE MANAGEMENT(OCM)

HI GURUS,
CAN ANYBODY EXPLAIN ME WHAT IS OCM , HOW TO USE IT.

IF ANY SCREEN SHOTS ARE THERE IT WILL BE MORE EASY TO UNDERSTAND
HELPFUL ANSWER WILL BE GIVEN FULL MARKS.
THANKS AND REGARDS,

Hi,
Order Change Management ( OCM) is used for tracking changes made to the Production / Process Orders.You can see the Change Management records after activating OCM in Order Header Screen--->
Go to (Menu)--->Change Management.
For detailed procedure for OCM pls go through the following link :

Help required in OCM-Order change management

Hi All,
I have to implement the Order change managment. I did few setting which are required and than i created ECR using release key. but using OCM it tells me to first make the changes in MATERIAL BOM than using transaction COCM i can make the changes in required production order.
But my requirement is i want to change the Production BOM or Production routing directly without touching Material BOM .
As sometime it happens only 1 or 2 Order BOM s are need to be changed only not the Material bom. So i want to track the Changes made in Order using OCM.
What is the solution that i can change the Production Bom OR Production Routing directly using OCM and also how can i make the changes in Sales Order.
Pls do the needful.
Thanks

Using Order Change Management (change management for production orders), it is possible to include existing procurement elements (production orders, planned orders, purchase orders) that are also affected by a change, in the change process.
The change process in OCM is based on Initiating Objects. These initiating object records refer to changes in sales orders or in master data, which, in turn, necessitate changes to production orders.
Thus, it is not possible to change the order directly using OCM.

Order change management

Hi all,
We have already implemented ECC 6.0 in a manufacturing project based industry. Now customer wants to track production order related changes. So we want to implement OCM.
Can anyboby please tell the detaild steps for implementing the OCM.
As per my knowledge i have already done necessary configurations. But when creating change master through CC01, in theentry screen, Function tab is not appearing. Can anybody tell the reason behind this.

Production Order Change Management

Hi ALL,
Dealy need of following.
How the changes to the production order can be viewed?
Is there any tcode to check this ?
Regards,
MHP

Dear Manish,
In a standard system it is not possible to track the changes made to a production order.
However, this can acheived in following ways.
1.We can develop a custom made report to track changes made to an order.Please check this with your ABAPer.
The overview of a report will be such that one can analyse the items added,deleted,new items inserted etc.
2.We will be able to achieve this by order change management.Refer the following link.

Difference Between Order Change Management & Engineering change Management

Dear,
What is the Difference Between Order Change Management & Engineering change Management ?

Hi,
ECM will help for Master data changes management.
OCM will help to manage changes in Transaction Data like Production Orders.
In brief,you have to first Create Change Number(part of ECM activity).then using that Change number, Master data(like BOM, Routing etc) has to be modified.
Then through OCM affected Transaction Data(like Production Orders) for each change number to be Processed.

Order Change Managment

I have a peculiar type of issue. The production order has the status CGFB- Confirm./goods mvmnt forbidden Which has been activated for the production order through Order change Management. But once this is being activated i am not able to do the delivery and order is blocked. So how should i deactivate this status in the production order. I have checked for the Material in the Work Scheduling view but no Overall profile is being usef for the Material. So i can i deactivate the Status CGFB in the production order set by the Order Change Managment.

REPORT ZPPSFC179 has been runned for the production order and the problem is not being solved

Order Change Management activation

Hi Experts,
I want to activate the OCM (not in production server) to do some research. Can we deactivate it after making research.
Requirement is "to trace the list of production orders that have undergone quantity or dates change".
I would like to know whether it is difficult to deactivate like batch management.
Regards,
Jejesh

Dear,
It is not difficult to deactivate .
Steps,
In WorkScheduling View of Material Master (FERT/HALB or Any Defined for Production) you need to maintain "Overall Profile"
This Overall profile should be configured in SPRO > PRoduction>Shop Floor Control > Operations>Change Management for Production Orders-->Define Overall Change Profile.

Software Change Management - usage in SAP

Hi,
Please anybody can -
Are we using version control tools like ration rose, SCM Software configuration Management in SAP?
Thanks in advance
Swamy

Hi,
Version Management is there in SAP also. SAP maintains Change history for most of its transactions.
*Version Management *
Use
Version management in the Integration Repository permits versioning as follows:
· The Integration Builder manages multiple versions of a software component in an Integration Repository. In this way, different product versions can communicate with each other. Each design object is created in the context of a software component version that represents a unit of a product that can be shipped.
· Objects can also have new object versions when changes are made within a software component version. You also have the option of releasing changes to multiple objects simultaneously.
Versioning in the Integration Repository ensures that objects are shipped consistently, and as part of a product.
However, there are no software component versions in the Integration Directory, because the configuration content is not shipped. Nevertheless, you can also release changes to the configuration for the entire runtime environment here. When you release the objects, the Integration Server updates the directory runtime cache.
Integration
You can also export objects of an Integration Repository or an Integration Directory to import them into another repository or directory (for example, during system relocation). In doing so, versioning of the corresponding software component version is taken into account.
Features
Change Lists
The Integration Builder supports object versioning for both the repository and for the directory using the user-specific change lists. When an object is saved for the first time, a new object version is created, which is added to the change list. When an object in the change list is activated, the object version is closed and is made visible for other users.
Products and Software Component Versions
A product can have multiple versions. Each product version is a shipment unit visible for customers. The software component versions used in a product version can be called in the System Landscape Directory.
In the context of SAP Exchange Infrastructure, the products and software component versions that are of interest are those that are to exchange messages with each other. When development starts they must be imported from the System Landscape Directory into the Integration Builder.
Release Transfer
In the transition from one software component version to a new software component version, you can either transfer all, or just some of the design objects from the previous version. This release transfer also enables you to transfer objects to older software component versions.

Renjith Michael.

Change Management Process for SAP Queries

Our company has recently implemented SAP. We are having some struggles with agreeing on a process for developing queries in SQ01. Our functional specialists currently have to create a query in DEV200 then download to DEV100 to create a transport.
Is this the general practice? It seems very strange and way too cumbersome considering SAP Query was designed for quick access to data. As for security the tables are already protected by the roles assigned to the users and the queries are assigned to User Groups within the query.
It also seems that HR uses the queries for all kinds of data searching so access to SQ01 to create a quick query in PRD seems appropriate.

Hi Karen,
I have seen some companies severly restrict query writing and usage because queries, if not written well, can seriously degrade system performance.
A potential rationale for your company's approach could be to test the query's efficacy and resulting system performance when a query is run. However, this kind of test won't be very accurate unless you do frequent refreshes of your production system.
I have been with some companies who do write queries in PRD, but the ability to write queries is limited to a very few number of people and they wind up becoming strictly query writers which somewhat defeats the purpose.
A lot of the answer to how your company should approach query writing is going to depend on your landscape, who has access to write queries, and if that access is to information that crosses all functions or is limited to a smaller set of data.
If your company has always had information dissemination controlled by IT, i.e. users have historically had to go to a central group to get a report, then there will be cultural changes needed as well as training if the user population should write queries directly in PRD.
Regards,
Julie

,COCM error - Order change management

Hi,
We changed the Bill of material, with change number. For that I have 7 production orders
But in COCM transaction I am able to see only 6 orders. Why I am not able to see one production order.
Thanks.
Suresh.

Hi Experts,
Any updates on this?
Thanks.

Production Order Changes...

I need the ability to identify changes made to a production order and the user that made the change. There are instances of incorrect changes being made to production orders with no way to identify the user that made the change. As examples, components are being 'final issued' but no one knows who set the 'final issue' indicator. Labor hours are changed with no traceability to the user who made the change.
SAP contains the capability to track changes to material master data, BOM data, and routing data. Is there the same capability for production order data?

Dear ,
You need to activate Order Change Managment-SPRO-Shop Floor Control -System Modification in case to trak production order change :
A.Enhancements for Order Maintenance
        1.Enhancement for the Display/Change of Order Header Data
        2.Check Changes to the Production Order Header
        3.Checks Changes to Order Operations
B.Enhancements for Order Change Management (OCM)
         1.Check Conflict for Change Step
         2.Definition of Comparison Fields for Order Comparison
C.Enhancements for Order Confirmation
Otherwise , from Basis side you can trak by
1.ST03
2.STAD-Provide SAP T-code , user id , Client .Here you can find out what are the changes user did for any production order based on SAP Trxn .

SAP - Organisational Change Management History

Having been involved in many SAP Projects as a change management specialist, I have often wondered how either the consulting house I am contracting to, or the client get their ideas about change management in SAP projects.
Some believe it lies in the domain of industrial psychologists who want to help people 'embrace change'. Others believe that it is mainly about communications.
I would love to hear different viewpoints about how SAP Change Management developed over the years and why people have gotten so confused about the role change management plays in SAP projects.
For me SAP ASAP details the Change Management deliverables, however very few people actually know how to execute these plans or what they are supposed to achieve.
I think the problem with how people view change management, is that it is a soft subject and is therefore highly flexible and can be done by anyone.
I listed the Change Management deliverables in my blog /people/swen.conrad/blog/2006/06/01/business-analyst-133-aris-for-netweaver-133-business-process-expert-133 .
Why is it that people do not adhere or use these deliverables?
With Kindest Regards
Paul Wilson

Hi Paul
Brilliant topic and one that in my experience is still not understood completely by clients and SI companies alike. My fundamental belief is that until an ERP implementation is viewed as a business transformation initiative, then change management is always going to be a 'nice to have' work-stream heavily focused on project communication and training. This is only the 'tip of the iceberg' in change terms and often projects start stalling or experiencing difficulties across the stakeholder landscape as other key areas of change management have been completely neglected. My experience in developing and executing the CM work-stream for an ERP project is outlined below:
1. Defining the scope of the ERP change programme and clearly articulating why the ERP implementation is taking place.
2. Starting Business Engagement and Business Readiness activities at the beginning of the ERP implementation is a key success factor. In many instances I have seen this activity either done poorly or not done at all until later on the project, creating a completely dis-engaged Key User community.
3. Developing a detailed definition of the changes that the new ERP system will introduce into the organisation and conducting a high level Change Impact Analysis to determine the degree of change coming in respect to people, processes, technology and infrastructure.
4. Designing and building the ERP solution so that it can deliver the strategic goals of the organisation. At this stage it is vital to involve the business in designing a 'fit for purpose' ERP solution.
5. Vitally important is getting the business to work with the ERP core project team to prepare adequately for go live. Making sure that all activities for cutover are completed in a timely manner, the business is engaged and the end users are aware of post go live support arrangements is a key role of the change management function.
6. CM is then fully involved in supporting post go live activities. Working closely with the business to identify business as usual owners is an important activity for the CM team. Measuring the system performance and ensuring business benefits are being realised is an ongoing task of the CM function until handover to the BAU teams.
7. Documenting the lessons learnt and manage the transition from the Programme to business as usual is the concluding stage for CM activities.
These CM themes are fundamental in making the ERP change programme a true success but can only happen if there is total commitment from top leadership to run the initiative as a proper business transformation effort..
