Reading the Log for Mass Changes 

You receive this log automatically. It informs you of the changes that have been made.

    • If a BOM was changed successfully, the log contains a description of the changes as well as the following log entries for the BOM material:

BOM for <material> <plant> changed

    • If a change was not made, the log contains an error message. This BOM may, for example, be locked because it is being processed by another user.

The log also contains the name of a background session that you can use to process the BOMs that have not been changed. This session contains a sequence of transactions for changing BOMs, for example, Change Material BOM or Change Material BOM Group.

      1. A program puts the data of BOMs that were not changed correctly into the session. You can then process this session at a later date online. The database is not changed until the session is processed.
      2. If you want to process the session, choose System → Services → Batch Input → Sessions.

You go to the screen Batch-Input: Session Overview, where you can select the sessions you want to process.

      1. When you process the session, the system automatically runs the transactions defined and enters the necessary data in the screens.
