Change Documents

Former Member — Fri, 21 Jul 2006 15:23:44 GMT

Hi,

I am working on an interface where we have to send New and changed functional locations to other system.

One option was to use Dates to determine this and the better option was to use Change Documents and Change Pointers.

I have used Change pointers in past for various transactions and they work fine.

Now the problem is, that when we change any field on Functional Location, it does not generate Change Documents and hence no change pointers are created.

SAP is using Change Document Object "IFLO" (Tcode :SCDO)

and i have checked at data element level also....these data elements are marked to generate change documents.

But they are not generating change documents.

Can anybody give some direction or suggestions on this.

I will gladly give points to helpful replies.

Thanks in advance.

Jeet

Hi,

Check the tables CDPOS and CDHDR with object ADRESSE with transaction IL02. change data is storing into these tables with this object.

Hey,

You need to activate Change Documents for the functional location category.

Configure the below node in SPRO

PM and CS - Master Data - Technical Objects - Functional locations - Define Category for functional locations - Double click on the category and select the "Change Documents" check box.

PM technical objects does not generate change docs when they are created, they write chdocs only during change. refer to OSS note 658193

If the Oss note is already implemented in ur system, it adds a new checkbox in functionl loc category definition in IMG. Check it to activate chdocs during creation

First enable Change doc in SPRO then

Use FM CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_HEADERS

CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_POSITIONS

or Select directly from CDHDR and CDPOS

Thanks guys, it solved the part of problem.

As per Kiran suggestion i have changed configuration in SPRO and now it is creating the Change Documents both at time of Craetion and Change.

Now problem is with Change pointers. Change pointers are genrated fine when i change an existing Functional Location but it is not generated when i "create" a Functional location.(Though change document is generated for create scenario).

I am not sure why Change poinetrs are not being generated for "Create" Scenario. Any ideas , suggestions.
