Exchange Object - Change Detection Condition Filter

The Change Detection Condition Filter tab provides the ability to restrict change detection based on data content. For exchange handlers to support this feature, you must define data filter conditions for which the underlying SAP business object must qualify before the change detection process is triggered. The condition is defined at the table field level and is in the SAP range table format.
