Hello,

Example:-

If u change the description of a material using ALE Change Pointers.

U will have to do the following few steps

1) Tcode BD61---> check the change pointers activated check box

save and goback.

2) Tcode BD50---> check the MATMAS check box save and comeback.

3) Tcode BD51---> goto IDOC_INPUT_MATMAS01 select the checkbox save and comeback.

rohit,

change pointer is a technique based on the change document technique which keep track of the changes made to the key document in sap.

BD61- enable change pointers globally.

BD50 - enable change pointers for message type.

BD52 - specify fields for which change pointers are to be written.

for creation and flow follow vasanth's reply.

Regards...

Arun.
