How to Set Up Timestamp Change Tracking in LS Central

Step 1: Understand the Concept

  • Timestamp handling can be activated per distribution location.
  • You do not need to switch all locations at once; it can be done individually.
  • LS Central must know for each location which change tracking method is active.

Step 2: Locate the Distribution Location Card

  1. Go to Retail Setup.
  2. Find the field Local Distribution Location.
  3. Use this to look up the Distribution Location Card for the current location.

Step 3: Check the Timestamp Flag

  • On the Distribution Location Card, locate the flag Use Preaction Timestamp.
  • This flag determines if timestamp-based change tracking is active for that location.

Step 4: Interpret the Setting

  • If the flag is enabled, timestamp change tracking is active.
  • If the flag is disabled, LS Central uses the old preaction-based change tracking.

Step 5: Handle Missing or Incorrect Setup

  • If records are not found or settings are incorrect:
    • LS Central defaults to preaction-based change tracking for the current location.

Step 6: Why This Matters

  • Data distribution jobs rely on knowing which change tracking method each location uses.
  • Without activation, functionality remains the same as before (using Preactions).

 

Note: This setup primarily affects the current location.
