Documentation

Definition

Character string that identifies a change type.

Use

You can control the change process in your company in the following ways:

• Define a company-specific status profile for both a change order and a context
• Set automatic generation of change tasks
• Set automatic generation of object management records
• Define a context hierarchy for complex change processes that cross organizational unit boundaries

Dependencies

When you create a change order, you define the change type. Because the change type has important control functions, you cannot change the change type after saving.
