• Key Concepts: 
  Date shift is a feature in SAP LO-ECH Engineering Change Management that allows users to shift the start and end dates of an engineering change order (ECO) to a later date. This feature is useful for managing changes that need to be implemented at a later date, or for scheduling changes that need to be implemented in a specific order. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the date shift feature, users must first select the ECO they wish to shift. Then, they can select the “Shift Dates” option from the menu. This will open a window where users can enter the new start and end dates for the ECO. Once the new dates are entered, users can click “OK” to save the changes. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the date shift feature, it is important to remember that all tasks associated with the ECO will also be shifted to the new dates. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all tasks are completed before shifting the dates of an ECO.
