Change number related ECM query

[Former Member]

Hi SAP experts;

Had a doubt;ECM is implemented in our case but it is not mandatory to enter the change number (means on doing CS02 it is just a warning message not error)

My question is that suppose i changed a part X qty under BOM of part ABC with change number then it shows up in CC03 >>change doc.>>bill of mat.

And if i use CS02 and do not enter change number and again make some changes in that part X ;and  now check CC03>>reporting docs>>bill of material

then also it will show me the changes done on that part under same change number.

I want to clarify is there some config settings that if we have implemented ECM then also if we change some material without a change number it will reflect under that change number only.

For better under standing:

BOM : ABC

Components: X-20 ,Y-40,Z -59  (part and qty)

Now i made a change no."REX" and did cs02 for ABC .I changed qty for X as 99

Now when i will run CC03>reporting changes then under REX it will show  X old value as 20 and new value as 99

But again if i will do cs02 and do not enter change number and change qty to 120 and then check in cc03 >>for REX it will show me as old value 99 new value 120

Now i just want to confirm why is it appearing so..;it should not appear under that change number ideally because qty was changed without change number' isn't it...

Is it ..just because ECM is implemented??

Dear Nipurn,

If my understanding is correct, then this is the standard SAP behaviour and here you will not be able to

knew the change in quantity that has happened  from 20 to 120(which means first the quantity was

changed from 20 to 99 and then from 99 to 120).

Only if you use change number for every change, it gives a complete solution.
