Change document flag in data element

former_member676782 — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 16:10:36 GMT

Hi,

I added a field on the structure CI_EKKODB (EKKO's customer include), and in the Data Element I set the flag to manage the change documents.

What have I also to do in order to let the change document working properly?

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Elena

Hi,

Just setting the flag in the data element should be enough...

Try changing the value in an existing document..And check whether the change document is getting created..

Thanks,

Hi Naren,

the problem in that the change document has not been created.

I tried to change the document and I distribute the document from SRM to R/3 but it doesn't work.

The field I added is a checkbox and I don't know if in this case there is something else to do.

thanks,

Elena

How are updating that field..Are you using standard sap transaction ME22N to update that field??or you using BAPI ??

Thanks,

Hi Elena

U can only set the flag for change document, I believe the problem can be on how the document is updated.

If the system doesn't call the function to create the document change that flag is useless.

The first thing you should do is to try to change the value of your field by trx ME22N in R/3 and check if the document is created.

Hi Max,

I tried to change the value of my checkbox from transaction ME32K in R/3, and when I save the document, the message is "no data changed".

I also tried to change that value from srm system and distribute the contract.

In both cases no chenge documents are created.

Do the following to sovle ur prolem.

1. You go to transaction SCDO, choose your CD object and re-generate the Update FMs.

2. Goto menu Utilities > Generate Update program.

Hi Elena,

Yes it is same as step 2.

Btw, your CD object is a 'z' object.

Else it would be a modification. And I wouldnt recommend this.

The CD object should be EINKBELEG (it's std one), so be careful!

Hi,

I think you have understood my problem, but now I have a doubt:

when I entered that transaction, I don't have any 'Z' object.

Can you tell me how can I check witch object my field belongs to?

Thanks for your cooperation.

Hi Max,

in fact my object should be EINKBELEG.

How can I verify this?

Thanks,

Elena

It's sure: the CD object is EINKBELEG (see include FM06LFCD_EKCD_LESEN, form EKCD_LESEN).

Before re-generating the object you can check how the function module to insert the change document is called:

- Set a break-point in fm EINKBELEG_WRITE_DOCUMENT;

- Run the trx ME32K and make a modification;

- Before pressing SAVE, start the debug mode and active UPDATE DEBUGGING (Setting->Update Debugging), now the program should stop to the break-point.

U can also try to change the type of data used for your data element: from FLAG to CHAR1.

Hi,

Yes Max is right. The CD object is EINKBELEG.

You need to be careful when you modify standard Change Documents.

Hi Max,

thank you very much for your help, I solved my problem!!

To generate change documents I modified these 2 exit:

EXIT_SAPMM06E_008

EXIT_SAPMM06E_006

..passing to the internal structures my field.
