Engineering Workbench transaction can be used to change pretty much everything in the routing and in the
BOM. Knowing this transaction will most part of the time avoid you from writing an ABAP code to update your
routings and BOMs.
Note that Engineering Change Management is not needed to use this transaction.
In this example I will focus on the standard values of the operations. But again, pretty much everything can be
changed.
Selection
In the detailed selection criteria, you can select by pretty much any field in the routing. But you need to be careful
with this selection, its quite complex, so you could select extra-operations or miss the half of it.
For instance, you can select by plant in the operation, in the header of the routing, or in the material assignment
which could be different.
So my advice would be to always check what you selected before making any changes.
Then pressing load Task list the system will select you the operation corresponding to your selection criteria.
Im in an IDES, and I selected all the operations where the routing is assigned to a material in plant 1000.
Above I selected the 1st and 3rd standard values, on all the operations.
Mass Change.
Select Extra -> Mass Change.
Then in the Mass Change screen I can define a new value for all the operation, I can chose to replace only value
X per value Y. Or I can also use a formula.
I will use a formula to reduce by 5% all the times. I choose the button formula.
I enter 0.95*X. Note that you can also use an ABAP code for a more complex formula.
