Using ECN for creating Bom

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hi Friends

We usually use ECN for making any changes to Bom or Routing. Any idea whether change number could also be used for creating Boms, Routings? Or rather, when we do not put an ecn number while creating Bom, system should give an hard stop.

thanks and regards

Hi Ramesh,

If you want system should give you hard stop while creating BOM, then you have to go to transaction code OS27....& select checkbox History requirement...Then it will not allow you to create BOM without change number..

And for making change number compulsory for routing, go to Tcode OP5A...select

PP task lists: initial screen ---> Change number -


> Transaction code -


> here select bullet required. Setting T code fields required means that you have made ECN compulsory when changing routing.

if helpful pls reward your points

Thanks.

Hi Ramesh,

You can use the <b>Field Exit</b> in CS01/CS02/CA01/CA02 TCodes,

i.e. Change Number Field should be mandatory in these Transactions.

Hi Mr.Ramesh,

As u asked,ECN can be made as a mandatory field while creating & changing a material,BOM,Routing.

<b>1.For material,ECN can be made as mandatory by using a field exit.For Field exit,you can check in SE37.

2.For BOM,Check in SPRO-Prod-Basic Data-BOM-Control Data for BOM-Define modification parameters(OS27).Also Check in OS25,for more settings.

Check whether there's a tick mark in the check box for EC Management Active.

3.For routing,Check in OP5A,Prod-Basic Data-Rotuing-Control Data-Define Field Selection.</b>

I hope this will be helping you.

If useful reward your points.

Dear Mr.Gide,

Explained in my previous reply are the basic settings for making ECN as mandatory for master data like material master,BOM and task lists.

If you post specific doubts it will be easy for me to explain regarding ECN.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Ramesh

as per my understanding, if you want to make the ECN entry as mandatory when creating a BOM or Routing, i guess it can be done, and you need to make that field as mandatory field in SPRO ( Production > Basic Data> BOM > General Data > Change Message Type and here you can select the error message when the user forgets to enter the ECN when creating) and also create a Change Master using CC01 and assign this to the master data when creating and it will automatically prompt the user to enter the value for ECN when creating also

if helpful pls reward your points

thanks

Whatever numbering scheme you have for your ECN's you can use the same and create a change master_CC01 ( assuming you have specicfed an external number range). Depending on what object types you select for the change master you will be able to create/change BOM's , routings, materials etc.
