How to see the document changes for project in CN60?
 
In order to trace the changes made in projects, we have activated the "Change Documents" in project profile customizing. On running the transaction CN60, the output is failed to display any changes and we are getting the message " No objects were selected using the criteria entered". However, if you open the project using transaction CJ20N and check the administration tab of the WBS, it shows the object was changed and the date on which it was last changed. We are talking about the situation after activation the "Change Documents" in project profile. How to explain the failure of CN60 to display the changes in project.
 
In case of collective run i.e. some transaction like create settlement run, collective run of RA, there may be some changes in project like creation of settlement rule, overwriting default RA key by RA key defined in settlement strategy etc. How to trace or identify the changes occurred during such collective run?
 
Answer:
 
There is definitely something wrong in your system.
 
Let’s start from beginning - I suppose you have activated change documents in project profile. Do check if the tick is in project profile on the right side and not the one under the status management section.
 
If you have that correct tick in profile, then can you go into a project and then change a master data field, save and then run CN60 again to check if you can see the changes.
 
Only those fields that have change document ticked in the data element of the respective field will be recorded.
 
The change recording is usually for basic master data and not for RA and settlement values - for this you need to run relevant cost reports.
 
Steps in summary:
 
Tick change documents in the project profile on the right side.
 
Not in the under status management Section.
 
Run transaction CJEN for project and check in cn60.
 
Regarding checking changes in CJ20N.
 
CJ20N - Click on the WBS/Activity (which one you want to see).
 
Edit menu -> Status -> System status/User status.
 
Go to Extra menu -> Change documents -> All.
 
Check in All changes and history.
 
Tcodes:
 
CJCS -  Transaction is for checking changes in Standard project definition.
 
CJCD -  Transaction is for checking changes in project definition.
 
Points to take note:
 
Only basic data change would be shown in CN60, not all. Ex: Company Code, Cost Center for WBS.
 
The system only creates change documents when the business transaction "Create change documents" is allowed in status management and the work breakdown structure has already been released.
 
The changes done after the customizing settings would only be reflected in CN60. 
 
The changes done before the setting would not be shown.
