Description
Report program RMCHACTB, like report program RMCHACTK, is used toactivate planned changes in the vendor master. While report programRMCHACTK activates the changes directly, report program RMCHACTBcreates a batch-input session containing the data of the vendors to beactivated. A transaction is created in the session for each vendorwhich was found to have planned and not yet activated changes. Iferrors occur during activation of individual vendors when thebatch-input session is processed, this is logged in the batch-inputsession and the transactions concerned are marked as unsuccessfullyprocessed. When the batch-input session is reprocessed, only theunsuccessfully processed transactions are executed. If the batch-inputsession is processed in the foreground, the screens in which the errorsoccur are displayed, so that the user can respond. Errors may be due toinconsistencies which occur if, for example, there are differentconsistency requirements at the time of planning and the time ofactivation.
This program report is intended for the mass activation of vendor data.
