Mark data element as relevant for change documents:

The data of a business-oriented object is often distributed on several tables.

To be able to trace changes to this business object, these tables can be combined in a Change document object

Function modules that can be integrated in the corresponding application programs and that log the changes are generated from such a change document object.

Changed field contents are only logged if the Change document flag is set for the data element of the field

Chk this for more.

If you are looking at creating your own Z.. Data Elements for your own Z... Tables.

The you need to look at transaction SCDO which helps you set up the Function Modules needed to create the change documents.

Finally you need to add these FM's to the code of your table maintenance program.
