Re: What is CR (change Request) & how it is working? what are stpes?

Answer #1 Change Request comes from the user in support project, After implementation user wants some thing to be added or modify to the existing configuration in SAP, Before doing CR the consultant must make analysis on CR the effects on existing process and before doing CR consultant must be get approval from the authorities.

Change Request comes in support phase of a project after implementation, any kind of change in the existing process or any improvement or any type of change as per the user request. It may include ABAP change,or sometime configuration change in both the cases functional consultant have to do the feasiblity study and impact of change to the existing process flow and act accordingly. Change Request can be maintain in SAP solution manager if you have configuration in your project. Regarding the process step, yes it has proper approval process,but again that depends on your organisation setting and level of approvers. in my project a CR must be approved from 1. Requestor of the CR 2. BPO of the Module say MM 3. CEO of the company. After only when you received the duely singed CR, you are allowed to move the changes means CR contained to Production system. and one morething i like to add is that CR is alwasy created for major changes in the system,else generally support message are created for minor modification. how a support individual will receive Tickets/issues from client?
