Fields Relevant to Printouts of Changes

In this step, you define:

􀁸 Whether and in which purchasing documents a field is relevant to printouts of changes (change

notices).

􀁸 Which texts are included in change notices

Text output can be controlled via a text number (direct assignment) or a routine (indirect

assignment).

Example of the determination of change texts

Text number

In the standard system supplied, the change text "Unit of measurechanged" (text no. P5) is directly assigned to the base unit (MEINSfield):

If the base unit is changed in an already printed RFQ, purchase order,or outline agreement, the change text "unit of measure changed" is included in the change notice (printout of changes).

Routine

In the standard system supplied, the deletion indicator (LOEKZ field)is assigned to routine 3, which controls the outputting of the change text.

Routine 3 checks whether an item of a purchasing document hasbeen deleted or blocked. If the item has been deleted, the change text"Item cancelled" (S3-L) is included in the printout of changes. If the item has been blocked, the change text "Item blocked" (S3-S) is printed.

Recommendation

SAP recommends working with the settings of the standard system. In this case, you need take no further action.

Activities

If you wish to define further fields as relevant to change notices, youmust carry out the following activities:

1. Enter the table and field names

2. Select the document categories for which the field is to be relevant tochange notices.

3. Assign a text number or routine

Note

If you specify a text number and a routine, the routine will receivepreferential treatment.
