Summary :
The SAP Note explains usage of the Engineering Workbench (EWB) API from SAP Release 4.6B onwards for enhanced task list/BOM processing. Where SAP standard programs fall short, EWB API allows for automation and mass processing through customer-specific programming. The API supports object-based design using ABAP and offers methods for creation, change, copying, and deletion of task list and BOM objects, ensuring data consistency with validations. Included function groups, like CPCL and CSCL, house these methods. The note outlines API structure, function highlights, and operational guidance, including object loading and data manipulation techniques, supplemented with a sample program for practical application.
