In Field definer , the functional application manager or a user with similar authorization can enable an automatic History option for individual fields of a history aware business object. It is possible to indicate per individual field whether a history should be registered. Once this option is enabled, any modification to the field’s value will be saved automatically in a log file. The results of any field changes can be viewed on the History selection steps. To enable automatic history, see Enabling automatic history.
