Documentation

Definition

Controls that no more change documents are written when changes are made to objects in the iPPE Workbench.

Note

When this indicator is set, it is no longer possible to trace which user has made a change, or when the change was made.

Recommendation

If you wish to transfer changes to iPPE data into different SAP systems using Application Link Enabling (ALE) or to an SAP APO system using the Core Interface (CIF), do not set the indicator. The system no longer notes change pointers. When the indicator is active, changes can no longer be distributed meaningfully using CIF or ALE.

When this indicator is set, workflow events are also switched off.
