Hi John,

The change number field in Material Master is basically there to facilitate the flexibilty of using the Change Number for Custom checks and Maintenance of Logs within the company. As it cannot assosiciate with the Material directly in various functions and mainly in the consolidation it links only through the Change Number.

Hi,

Please look help data

Change Number

Number used to uniquely identify a change master record.

The data that contains all information required for managing a change.

The master record contains descriptive data, such as the reason for the change, and data with control functions, such as valid-from date and indicators for object types. In addition to this data, which can be updated directly, there is data that the system updates automatically, such as administrative data.

Thanks
