Hi Wals,

I think you can use a Selection Condition to make your characteristic mandatory. See the following documentation link:

Selection Conditions - Variant Configuration (LO-VC) - SAP Library

In order to link the Selection Condition to a precise company code, you should also have a Reference Characteristic for the company code.
A Reference characteristic is a special characteristic linked to a standard table field, in this case it could be MARC-WERKS or VBAP-WERKS.

Reference Characteristics - Characteristics (CA-CL-CHR) - SAP Library

Then, in the Selection Condition, you should refer to that Reference Characteristic value.

For instance, if we have the Ref char as MARC_WERKS (linked to MARC-WERKS) and the company code for which we want to make the target characteristic mandatory is '1000', the Selection Condition will be:

MDATA $self.MARC_WERKS = '1000'.

Allocate the Selection Condition to the target characteristic.

I hope this could help.

If you need further info, please let me know.

Thanks and regards,

Flavio

If i understand well :

--> I have to create dependancy with type : Selection Conditions

                    -->  In this dependancy, i found source code but what I have to write inside ?

                                 => IF IFLO-BUKRS = 'IA' ENDIF ??? (name of my society is IA)

After this, I will affect this dependancy to my characteristic.

But where i precise that the field will be mandatory ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Wals,

Yes, you have to create a dependency (Selection Condition type).

It's code will be simply the following:

MDATA $self.IFLO_BUKRS = 'IA'.

Before, create the reference characteristic,
In the above example, I've called it IFLO_BUKRS (reference table field: IFLO - BUKRS), of course you can call it whatever you like.

Screen-shot for the reference char:

And yes, allocate the dependency to the target characteristic.

The mandatory valuation is automatically set via the dependency.

Hope this could help.

Thanks and regards,

Flavio
