Dear Mr.Guna,

<b>As I have mentioned in my earlier posts,ECN can be made mandatory for creating & changing material using a field exit.</b>

<b>

The field name for the Change number is AENNR.

First of all you have to verify with ABAP programmer whether a field exit exists for this particular field.</b>

You can also check this without anyone's help in SE37.

Just enter Field_exit_AENNR and click display ,if a field exit is valid for that field then the system shows the source code,otherwise it will throw you some information or error message.

<b>So with the help of an ABAP programmer ,this field can be made as mandatory.which means the system will not allow you to create or change a material without a Change number.</b><b>In SAP field exit's are not present for all the field's.</b>

I hope this will be sufficient for you to quench your query.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Mr.Gide,

I hope now you would have got an idea about the field exit for Change number,so as to make it mandatory while creating & changing a material.

<b>Still if you have doubt regarding the same,please fell free to post your query.</b>

Thanks & Regards

Field exit should be defined from CMOD. Then type PRFB from this screen. Here you create the field exit funcyion module by giving the data element for change number.

If already a field-exit exists for the change number data element then it will appear in the list of PRFB transaction.

The screen number is to be assigned to the field exit so that it does not affect other transactions. In the code too you need to specify that for transaction MM01 and MM02 the code should be executed.
