Field\/Column \u201cObject Class\u201d (OBJECTCLASS)<\/h2>\n
This column categorizes the changed SAP entries. Each object class collects the changes in a particular SAP area. The class “EINKBELEG” for example, is responsible for all changes of purchasing documents.<\/p>\n
Why is the content of the object class so important?<\/b><\/p>\n
Two reasons – on the one hand, the change tables are very large and by the restriction to a particular object class, the amount of data can be effectively filtered. On the other hand, the object class defines the contents of the column “Object value” (OBJECTID). In the object class “EINKBELEG”, the object value contains the purchase order document number of the changed purchase order. When making changes to vendor master data (object class “KRED”), the content of the object value would be the vendor number.<\/p>\n
A list of all available object classes in your SAP system can be found in the table “TCDOB”. The following figure provides a summary of this table and shows the object class “BELEG” with the related financial tables, which are recorded in this change object class.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Since all “T” system tables contain specific items (Customizing tables), the object classes may vary per SAP system. This should not be the case in the main object classes. Nonetheless, this table should always be considered system-specific.<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n
The change tables provide a number of analytical approaches; however, you must be able to interpret the contents of the tables. The CDHDR and CDPOS are not very wide tables (small number of columns), but the number of entries is huge. Filtering on the object class makes the amount of data manageable and facilitates the interpretation of the content. The table “TCDOB” can provide entry into the world of change object classes.<\/p>\n\n\n
