Purchase Order Fields Relevant to Printouts of Changes |
Understanding Purchase Order Fields for Change PrintoutsIn SAP Materials Management (MM), it's crucial to track and manage changes to purchase orders efficiently. One key aspect is determining which fields in purchasing documents are relevant to printouts of changes and how these are reflected in change notices. This ensures transparent communication with vendors and compliance with internal processes.How Change Relevance Is Controlled in SAPSAP provides configuration settings to define the relevance of fields in purchasing documents for change outputs. This setup governs whether a field change is included in the printout of purchase order modifications.Key Configuration Transactions1. Transaction SM30 – Table T166CUse transaction SM30 to access table T166C, where you can configure the change relevance of specific fields. This is the primary table for customizing which fields should trigger a change message in printouts.2. Transaction OMF6 – Define Text NumbersTransaction OMF6 is used to define text numbers that control how text outputs are generated in change notices. These can be assigned directly or indirectly using routines.Steps to Define Fields Relevant to Change NoticesTo include additional fields in the change printout process, follow these steps:
Identify the exact table and field whose change you want to track. Choose the relevant purchasing document types (e.g., purchase orders, contracts) for which the field should be monitored. Implementing Custom Logic Using User ExitsIf standard routines do not meet your requirements, implement custom logic using the user exit:User Exit: EXIT_SAPLMEDRUCK_001This user exit allows advanced evaluations and custom behaviors during the printout process of purchasing document changes.Why This Matters for Your SAP System
ConclusionConfiguring purchase order fields relevant to printouts of changes is a critical task for maintaining accuracy and consistency in SAP MM. By using tools like SM30, OMF6, and user exits such as EXIT_SAPLMEDRUCK_001, businesses can efficiently manage change outputs and maintain operational clarity.Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)Q1. What is table T166C used for in SAP?Table T166C is used to configure which fields in purchasing documents are relevant for change printouts. Q2. How do I assign a text number for change notices?
