What is change sequence graph in SAP AP-PPE - FND Integrated Product and Process Engineering?

SAP Term: change sequence graph

• Component: AP-PPE

• Component Name: FND Integrated Product and Process Engineering

• Description: List of relationships between two change numbers. The system creates a relationship between two change numbers if these numbers were used to maintain the change statuses of a component variant, color variant, or an assembly item. In the development phase of a product, system uses change numbers without a validity date or serial number; these change numbers can be used to create a consistent sequence. The change numbers can also be used by different users in order to make changes at different products. The change sequence graph can be used to assess and remove recursions and cycles that result from these changes. The change sequence graph is used to bring these change numbers into a sequence that corresponds to how the changes were made while the product was being developed.
