Hide characteristic values

[former_member629371]

Hi guru,s

i have the scenario that we do not longer need a characteristic value e.g. color but we do not want to delete the value.

Is there a way to hide it, independent from other charateristics.

Hi christian.pape,

the simplest way to hide a characteristic value is to create an object dependency type Precondition with the following code

$self.CHAR_NAME specified and $self.CHAR_NAME = 'CHAR_VALUE_TO_HIDE'

and allocate it at the characteristic value that needs to be hidden;

the dependency code is just allowing the characteristic value display only when it has been used in the past

Hope this could help

ciao,

Best way to hide through dependency with precondition..as deleting values will cause inconsistencies on where ever values used.

christian.pape,

I will go with the option suggested by indie7 and flavio.ciotola3.

Deleting values are not at all feasible as it will create complications for existing usage. Its always advisable to hide it using a dependency with a condition which never allow it to be selectable and visible.

Thanks

Hello christian.pape ,

Yes there are many ways to restrict (hide) characteristic values. See the below SAP help links for a couple of methods 1) restrictable characteristics, and using constraints, 2) precondition assigned to the value.
