ECM functionality and concept...........?

[Former Member]

Hello gurus,

I am in sap functional testing.

In 1 case, I created change number 123 for perticular material say X (HALB). Now in MM01, I am creating material Y (FERT) by giving same change nomber as 123. But problem is that , after entering the data , system is changing the name of given material Y to X as per change number given.

Now my doubt is that, shal i consider it as right concept of ECM and move forward or I need to create seperate change number for seperate matl...........?

I am not aware about ECM functionality and concept.

Anyone can clear my query?

Appreciate your help.

Regards,

You cannot use same material No. for more than one material, for another material you need to use different No.

In your case, when you put the same no. 123 in mm01, system is thinking you are trying to extend the material already created with no. 123 and is acting accordingly for extending material. We extend material already created to other plant or different view which were not already created for material through mm01. For material change we use mm02.
