MATERIAL event CHANGED - can I get old and new values

[Sheth, Neeraja]

I have applied 544517, and created event parameters as per the
documentation, but I am not able to get the old and new values. The object
is delegated. The event container contents are attached below. I have
defined attributes for subtype ZBUS1001 as database field attributes based
on MBEW-ZPLP1 and MBEW-PEINH. The event container elements are also
multi-line, and have the same name [PlannedPrice1] and [PriceUnit] and the
same data type reference as the attributes. When the event gets raised, the
values do not get written to the event container as shown below. I have
checked the same things over and over again for the last 2 days. What am I
missing? Any help is much appreciated.
 
If I execute transaction MM04, I can see the changes and the old & new
values, but when I do SE16 and look up CDPOS, I get a message saying "Field
VALUE_OLD is too wide to display (field will be truncated)", and the
explanation for this message says that the field is longer than 200
characters. ( If I change BISMT which is a character field, I get the same
message but I do see the values. )
 
I also looked at KOSTL as per Swami's suggestion, and tried with the
creation of element CHANGEDFIELDS in the container, but could not grab
values there either, though it recognizes that ZPLP1 and PEINH have changed.
 
 
Thanks

Hi Neeraja,
There is a standard technique for capturing old/new change document values
as event parameters. You can find it in the workflow "reference" section of
the SAP library - the section is called "Creation of Additional Event
Parameters
With Event Creation".
 
Make sure you have implemented OSS note 544517 first.

Subject: MATERIAL event CHANGED - can I get old and new values
 
 
I have designed a workflow to be triggered when the planned price on a
material changes by creating an event BUS1001.PlannedPriceChanged with a
field restriction of MBEW-ZPLP1, using change object MATERIAL.
 
Is there a way to be able to display the old price and new price without
having to build some custom code to read change documents? Since the
condition in SWEC is actually comparing ZPLP1_VALUE_OLD and ZPLP1_VALUE_NEW,
I was wondering if I could trap those values.
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Neeraja
