Summary :
The SAP Note addresses a limitation in BAPI_EQUI_CHANGE, where it defaults to system date and time during equipment master record updates, inadequate for specific scenarios requiring distinct validity durations related to equipment usage periods. From SAP R/3 4.6C and rectified in 4.7, users can input custom dates and times via new import parameters in subsequent patches (SAPKH47012 or above). Adjustments in BAPI, ALE interfaces, and IDOCs must be implemented. Manual updates are advised against due to complexity. Extensions in the EQUI business object and enhancement of BDBG transactions are also noted.
