Changing the attributes of a characteristic

[Former Member]

Hi

I need to change the name and length of a characteristic in DP that is used currently. How can do this change without losing the data or reinitializing the planning area?

Thanks a lot.

Hi Rico,

In the company I'm working the Production Client is closed to any configuration so I need to change the characteristic in the Development Client and then transport the change to the Production Client. I want to be sure that this change it will not delete data.

Thank you

Jasmin, I doubt you can change the length of Charteristic without deactivating MPOS and doing that you will lose data. So as a option you can take back up, do changes and then load the data back.

Hi Deepak,

This is what I was thinking...

Thanks a lot for your answer.

Hi,

as long as you don't change the technical name (e.g. 9AMATNR) you can change the description in RSD1.

Best regards
