Question:
Greetings folks,
I have recently set the change documents settings in the IMG for changes to networks.
One of the reasons we wanted change documents was so wee could track changes in the material reservations.
I have since found that if a reservation for a material has been deleted, the information about the material is is no longer available at the change documents screen (CN60). The deletion of material reservation was one of the big reasons we wanted to record the change documents in the first place.
Did I miss a bit of config?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

Hi Jeff
Look futher down in this text gleaned from OSS note 325459, the section titled 'Consider the following special features:'
No change documents are displayed for deleting or creating objects.
Start of Note
Symptom
This note makes a report available which you use to easily display the change documents written in the Project System.
When does the system write change documents for changed field contents (not for a changed status) in the Project System?
Project definition, WBS element, milestone for WBS element
Indicator 'Change documents' is set in the project profile.
The project definition and the WBS element have released a status, for example, which allows change documents to be written.
For standard project definitions and standard WBS elements, status 'released' must be set.
Change documents are only written for those fields where the 'Change document' flag is set in the assigned data element.
Network, network activity, relationship, production resource/tool reservation and so on
In the parameters for the network type, the 'Creation of change documents' flag is set.
Change documents are only written for those fields where the 'Change document' flag is set in the assigned data element.
Consider the following special features:
No change documents are displayed for deleting or creating objects.
No change documents are written for the configuration of materials in the network.
No change documents are written for settlement rules.
No change documents are written for changes within the service specification outline within a service.
If you create, change and then delete a WBS element during the assembly processing with configuration, the change documents which have been created until the deletion are no longer displayed for the newly created WBS element.
How does the report work and what does it display?
The report selects the objects which fulfil these entries which have been made on the selection screen (see Note 107605) and determines the change documents which belong to these objects.
If the system does not find a change document for an object, it is also not displayed in the report, that is, the report does not issue the project hierarchy.
If no specification was made concerning the person who changed the fields and date when the change was made, the system displays all the change documents without any restrictions with regard to person and date.
The report displays the following fields:
the abbreviation in front of the actual ID specifies the object.In particular, take notice of the following abbreviations:
SNTW Standard network
SNTW Standard network
SNWA Standard network activity
SOOS Standard network sequences
SSOA Standard network selection of items
SREL Standard network relationships
SPRT Standard network production resource/tool
SABM BOM items assignments for operations
short text of the object
field name which was changed
descriptive short text of the changed field
old field value
new field value
user name of the person who changed the field
date on which change was made
time for which you changed
Which functions are made available for you in the report?
The following standard functions are provided with the report:
(The names and sequence of the functions are different in Releases 4.6B and 4.6C; the name and the sequence of the functions are specified for Release 4.6B. For Release 4.6C the name of each function are in brackets.
Detail screen (details): to create a compressed display of the data of a line
Filter which you can use to restrict the scope of data in the selected column in accordance with the values
Sort in ascending or descending order of the dataset depending on the selected column
Current display variant (change layout) which is used to define which fields are displayed.In Release 4.6C, it is possible to define the view (Grid/Excel) and the form of the display in the layout sorting, filter.
Send (mail recipient)
Local file: in order to save the report as a file on your PC
Text processing for exporting data to Microsoft Word
Spreadsheet (Microsoft Excel) for exporting data to Excel
Print preview

Additional key words
Cause and prerequisites
A redesign of Transaction CN60 is required.
Solution
Create structure PSIS_CHANGE_DOC
Transaction SE11
Select 'Data type'
Enter 'PSIS_CHANGE_DOC' in the field
Choose Create
Enter 'PS information system: Output of change documents' as the short description
Add the following components with the corresponding data elements:
Field Data element
ID DATOBJ_ID
KTEXT AUFTEXT
FNAME FIELDNAME
FTEXT DDTEXT
F_OLD CDFLDVALO
F_NEW CDFLDVALN
USERNAME CDUSERNAME
UDATE CDDATUM
UTIME CDTIME
Activate the structure (if necessary, specify transport request)
Implement report RCNCHANGEDOC with the corresponding includes in your system. CNIS entered as the development class.
Create reports and includes and copy the attached source code into your system
Transaction SE38
Program 'RCNCHANGEDOC'
Select 'Attributes'
Choose 'Change'.
Enter 'Change Documents for Project' as the title and PSJ as the logical database
Activate report RCNCHANGEDOC (selection screen 1000 is generated automatically during the first call of the report)
Correction in function module CJDB_CHANGE_DB_PROFILE
We recommend the following modifications so that you can call the report via a transaction code:
Execute Transaction SE93
Enter transaction code CN60 or CNS60 (prerequisite: Note 326591).
Choose 'Change'.
Enter RCNCHANGEDOC as a program instead of RCNST000.
Save.
