it is used to track the Changes of the Material Master which you have created.

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:

The system determines the effectivity parameters

The conditions that the change is effective under can be defined in the change master record as follows:

Changes with a date effectivity (valid from date)

Changes with parameter effectivity (for example: serial no. effectivity)

Log of the changes made

Documentation for the changes

Revision level to indicate the change status of a material or document

Changes released for the different areas in the company.

Hi,

You can change the data contained in a material master record in one of the following ways:

Immediately

By scheduling the change

In both cases, you can make your changes with reference to a change number. This identifies a change master record in engineering change management and has the advantage that changes to different objects (such as the material, bill of material, or routing) can be grouped together under this number. If, for example, a particular product gives rise to a complaint, you can record any resulting changes to the relevant objects under this number.

Any changes that you make to material master records are recorded in change documents. In the case of scheduled changes, the change is stored in the change document and not in the material master record itself. The date at which the change is to take effect is stored in the document header.

Normally, all changes to a material master record are stored in change documents automatically. Changes made in a single step are stored in the same change document, while changes made at different times are stored in different change documents. All the change documents that exist for a material make up its change history.

Change documents contain the following information:

When the change was made

Who made the change

What value the field contained before and after the change

Reward points if it helps
