Documentation

Use

This flag is used to create change documents for business objects.

You can create a change document object for a business object. This change document object contains the tables in which the data of the business object is stored. Function modules that are called in the corresponding application programs and that log the changes at runtime can be generated from the change document object.

Logging only takes place if the fields whose contents were changed refer to a data element that was flagged as relevant for the change document.

You can go to the maintenance screen for change documents from the initial screen of the ABAP Workbench with Development -> Other tools -> Change documents.
