Field help (ECVALMAJ11) 

The major version number can be accessed if the tracking of major versions is active at the level of the product setup (in the Management tab of the Product function, the Stock version field is set to 'Major').

If the preloading of versions is active at the product/customer level (in the Customers tab of the Product function, the Version preloading box is checked), or by default, at the product/sales level (in the Sales tab of the Product function, the Version preloading box is checked), then the last active major version is preloaded automatically.

The major version number can be entered if, in the setup function of the Service responses (GESCMI) entry transactions, in the Consumptions tab,the Major version field is set to 'Entered'. If you enter a major version number, the system checks that the major version does exist and its status. If an error occurs, a warning non-blocking message displays.
