3774245 - No change document created when maintaining material main EAN indicator

The following behavior is observed when maintaining the Main EAN indicator on a material master record:

• When the Main EAN indicator is changed, no dedicated change document is created for the Main EAN in transaction MM04. Instead, the change is recorded as an EAN change for the unit of measure.
• When maintaining change pointer customization in transaction BD52, it is not possible to add a change document item for main EAN (object MATERIAL, table DMEAN, field HPEAN). Error message B1404 ("Field HPEAN does not exist in table DMEAN") is returned.

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.
