Variant Configuration: HIDE Characteristic having Default Value

782 Views

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone please tell me, how to hide the Characteristic having defualt value.

I would like to describe as below:

We can hide the characteristic with the help of Procedure-dependency. This is ok, but if we assign any value in the characteristic as DEFAULT, the Procedure-dependency (to hide the characteristic) will not work.

That means, "Characteristic with Default value " will not hide, even though we have applied Procedure-dependency.

For example:

1. One characteristic: CHAR_SELECT_DRINK

Description : Select type of Cold Drink

Data Type :Char

Value: 001 Coke

002 Pepsi

2. Second Char : CHAR_QTY_COKE

Description : Enter: Qty of bottles of Coke

Data Type :Num

Note: User will enter the quantity of bottles with numeric value.

And this char should display when user selects value '001' in char "CHAR_SELECT_DRINK".

So, for that we will assign Procedure-dependency SYNTAX on char "CHAR_QTY_COKE"

Syntax: CHAR_SELECT_DRINK= '001' and specified CHAR_SELECT_DRINK= '001'.

So, when you simulate in CU50, then you will see that Char "CHAR_QTY_COKE" is in Hide mode. And when you select value 001 in Char "CHAR_SELECT_DRINK" then and then only char "CHAR_QTY_COKE" will display.

But...But...But...suppose if you assign defualt value 5 in Characteristic "CHAR_QTY_COKE" (T-code: CT04-change mode)..and after that if you go through the simulation (CU50)...

then you will see that "CHAR_QTY_COKE" is NOT in hide mode. That means, even though you have not selected any value in char CHAR_SELECT_DRINK, then also, system is showing the char

"CHAR_QTY_COKE" with its default value 5.

If anyone knows, then please do the needful.

Thanks & Regards,

Lokesh
