Create characteristic values combination without having a value for every characteristic

[Former Member]

Dear all,

When I use tcode /SAPAPO/MC62 I can create characteristic values combination. We have 6 characteristics and for some combinations we want to fill let's say only 5 characteristics with a special value. One characteristic should not be filled. It should stay default and could have any value which is possible for this cahracteristic.

Is it possible to leave one characteristic blanc in this transaction? Or must I assign a value to all characteristics?

Thank you very much and kindest regards,

Eva

The Field cannot be blank.....Use some data for this field like X or NA Etc........

Hi Eva,

As already answered, a characteristic value can not be blank.

For some clients, We use "DUMMY" value,  wherever there is no value.

We later use realignment process to change the "DUMMY' value to the actual  value in case of CVCs where we get the actual value. Otherwise it remains "DUMMY".

Hope this helps.

Hello Eva,

When you create the CVCs manually you must have the values for all the characteristics else you will not be able to create the CVC..

When you create the CVCs through a background job, you can make the characteristic take a default value..you need to write ABAP code for this.

Hope this helps,

Hello Eva,

You need to input something in each characteristics. It can not be left blank.

In our project also, we had this requirement. We used to put "NA" (not applicable) for such characteristics.

Hello Eva,

I believe we cannot keep a blank value for a characteristic while creating the CVC. However you can maintain some dummy value whenever you are required to keep that as a Blank.

For one of my past project, we used to maintain values like (++++++++ or  ######## ) for particular characteristic.

So something like above may help you.

Please check.

Thank you
