Hi

Can you elaborate your requirement clearly to understand and guide u.

If possible share us the BOM, component and change number screen print it will helps us to understand.

Hi Sai krishna

here is the bom components , the change number 5* 28 - the valid to date is 31.12.9999 , but we need to restrict this valid to date for this ECN , i know that if we do the changes wrt to another ecn with a diff valid from date , then this gets restricted , but i need to restrict this valid to date with out any other latest ecn. That too using a function module in backend .

STPO for the same bom

Hello Sowrya,

The change number 5* 28 is valid from 15-09-2021. Change number has concept of valid from. The BOM line item has been valid from 15-09-2021 to 31-12-9999. If you create a new change number, and make it valid from in future, and change the same line, then the valid from of date of the new CN, will be valid to date of the current line and there will be a new line added valid from new date to 31-12-9999.

I do not think you can control the 31-12-9999, as that is how the system works with change numbers.

When you want to expire the line, you can just process it with any new CN with the valid from date you want.

Hope this helps.

we had implemented this solution for above requirement.

In order to restrict the valid to date for an ecn , we had used another ecn which we would be considering it as a dummy which gets generated internally in sap for only one time and the valid from date of that ecn keeps on extending which restricts the valid to date of its previous ecns. Thanks to everyone who had provided their solutions as well.

In your case:

Create a ZBAPI and call in internal bapi in your screenshot for deducing and put results in your Zreports at valid to/from date .

New change number valid from date = Valid to date of old change number of same components or header.

Concept is controversial for what you are trying. But add a new next change number and then find valid to date at admin tab.

Hi Sowrya,

Once you set the alternative date in the ECN the objects (Material / BOM) attached to the ECN is set to released.

Say for example if the alternative date set for the BOM is 01/11/2021 then the BOM valid from data is shown as 01.11.2021 instead of 31.12.9999.

Please check the alternative dates.

Thanks,

Hi Sowrya,

Now, we can understand your requirement.

As per Std SAP we add new ECN and make changes to BOM component then the older ECN number in the BOM will have "Valid To" Date as "Valid From" Date of new ECN.

I will let u know if i find any other options for your requirement.
