Looking up the CUM history

You can lookup the CUM history of active contract lines to check and control the changes of CUMs. The CUM history includes the complete list of changes. Each change causes a log entry. A log entry documents the log date and time, the responsible user, and the reason for the change of the CUMs. You can compare the new and old received or shipped CUMs.

To look up the CUM history:

  1. To access the CUM history, select Release Management > Plans.
  2. Click the Drill down button of an active contract line.
  3. Click View CUMs.
    The CUMs dialog box opens.
