Question no 4208 : Generating the Engineering Change Number via the "Change Record" FIORI App

 In SAP S/4HANA Logistics General, note the system generates the Change Number (ECM) at the Change Record Status "Initial Change Request (10)", which field was the primary influencing factor the Change Number (ECM) was generated ?

(only one answer)

A)  Record Type "Engineering Change (S20"

B)  Change Responsible Person

C)  Expected Completion Date

D)  Engineering Effective Date

E)  Manufacturing Effective Date

.

Answer: E

With the "Manufacturing Effective Data", the system will generate the Change Number (ECM) as early as the "Initial Change Request (10)" (which is the status immediately after the Change Record is SAVED.

However, if the "Manufacturing Effective Data" is not entered at any Status stage, the system will still generate the Change Number (ECM) at "Change request approve (40)" status.
