Creating a new change document object

[Becker Stephan (extern)]

..problem with a new change document is that you need to raise it somehow.. ie in a user exit.. but there you might just as well create the event directly.. creating change documents usually only make sense if you need them for more than just triggering an event..
 
..maybe better is to use status management, because you can easily trigger events on line item level.. use status object type vbp and object type vbap for example in customer status management (transaction bsvz)..

G'day Tony,
 
It's been a while but I'm pretty sure you can do this using a function
module defined in transaction SWED (Define Workflow Properties <for Change
documents>). In this table you can link incompatible Change Doc / Business
Objects. In the function module you need to interorgate the change doc and
populate the Bus Obj key appropriately.
 
SWE_TEMPLATE_OBJECT_KEY_SET is listed in the help as a template func mod.
 
As there are no exceptions in this I think you may need to use a check
function module to ensure that only valid item level changes are being
raised as events.
 
I think you may also get warnings when in txn SWEC, but these can be
ignored.
 
Have fun,
Mark

Hi -
 
I want to trigger a WF for the creation of a sales order at the item level.
Currently, I can raise a change document object for the header level
(BUS2032), but I cannot raise one for the item level (VBAP) because the
table linkage for the sales order object (VERKBELEG) is to the table VBAK.
How do I go about raising a change document for the item level in this case?
Can I create my own change document objects and link them to the VBAP table?
Please advise.
 
Regards,
 
Tony Hoodak
