ZPlanned_Change
Class for Planned Changes creation and manipulation in ABAP.
Planned changes are a type of Change Documents that only describes changes to database tables, but that are not yet actual.
Using this functionality, it's possible to plan ahead and manipulate complex database changes (such as planned Materials and Vendors), and schedule the activation of these changes for a future date.
These changes are stored in tables PCDHDR and PCDPOS.
Installation
To install, you need abapGit.
