In this section you maintain the change document objects that are relevant for your application.

Caution

Maintenance of change document objects is a task for an experienced ABAP developer with specialized knowledge of the change document technique. It is only necessary if the customer has developed an own application, for example. Changing the supplied settings amounts to a modification.

Example

Requirements

The change document must have been created in Basis. By choosing ABAP Workbench -> Development -> Other Tools -> Change Documents , you can make a new creation.

The structure of the object value must be defined. Without this structure, standard formatting of the object value and the table key (extended object value) by the change document tool is not possible.

Standard settings

Recommendation

Activities

  1. Choose a change document object from Basis and assign a structure of the object value to it.
  2. Choose a change document object.
  3. Assign a function modules to an object event (for example, format object value or provide text for business transaction).

    Prerequisites

    The function module must be available. If it does not exist, the standard function of the tool is used. The object value is then formatted in accordance with the structure of the object value.

  4. Assign a function module to a table event (for example, format table key) and a table.

    Other notes

    You also have the option of storing a global function module for all tables and fields of a change document object. In this case, the entry for the table must remain empty. Function modules that are explicity assigned to a table override the global function module.
    Prerequisites
    The function module must be available. If it does not exist, the standard function of the tool is used. The table key is formatted from the place as of which it differs from the object value (enhanced object value).

  5. Assing a function module to a table field event (for example, format table field), a table and a field name.

    Further notes

    You also have the option of storing a global function module for all tables and fields of the change document objects. In this case, the entries for tables and fields must remain empty.

    In addition you have the option of storing a function module for all fields of a table. In this case, just specify the corresponding table. The entry for the field remains empty. Function modules that you have specified in this way override the global function module.

    Function modules that are explicity assigned to a table and a field override both previously mentioned options.

    Prerequisites

    The function module must be available. If it does not exist, the standard function of the tool is used:

    • If fixed values for domains are stored, these apply.
    • If a time stamp is involved, this is formatted in readable form.
    • If there is a check table with a text table, the system displays the corresponding text from the text table. Refer also to Assign Text Field.
    • Otherwise the field is not specially formatted.
  6. You can group together attributes that are related from a business perspective to attribute groups .

    Define the name of the attribute groups (Att. Group). Specify the descriptions with which you want the attribute groups (Descr. AG) displayed in the attribute directory of the selection criteria screen.

    Define the corresponding tables and field names for the attribute groups of a change document object (choose Attribute Group - Table Field).

  7. Assign the text fields (choose Assign Text Fields).

    On screens Display Change Documents and Display Change Document Item the currently corresponding clear texts are displayed for key fields in the business view, rather than the actual key.

    You only have to assign text fields for fields for which a check table with a text table exists. The assignment is also only required if the text table has more than one key field other than client and language, and the text field being used is not the first field in the structure of the text table after the key

    • whose domain name starts with BANK_TEXT
    • whose domain name starts from offset 3 with _TEXT
    • whose domain name starts with TEXT or
    • whose domain name is SPTXT16.
