Vendor master - Change documents

[Former Member]

I am writing a program to capture daily changes to the vendor master. I only need to track a small number of vendor fields and store them changes to a file. I don't need to perform master data distribution using change pointers.

The process is as follows:

1. CALL FUNCTION CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_HEADERS

EXPORTING

DATE_OF_CHANGE = sy-datum

OBJECTCLASS = KRED

DATE_UNTIL = sy-datum

IMPORTING

I_CDHDR = itab

2. Select * from CDPOS where changenr = itab-changenr.

3. There will be some logic to take only latest change for a field using date/time from I_CDHDR.

What is object class KRED_N used for? Anything else?

Hi Raynald,

in case you get performance problems:

Switch to Z-change pointers. Just create your own message type, assign needed fields, activate pointer. -> You will be informed about relevant changes, you don't read all changes any longer. You don't need additional ALE-distribution settings.

Use fm CHANGE_POINTERS_READ for reading, when done with your job use CHANGE_POINTERS_STATUS_WRITE. Next execution of your program can run at any time (after weekend, after 5 minutes) and will select exactly newly changed / created entries.

It's really easy to do and will be much faster than change document examination.
