variant config

[Former Member]

hi,

Iam able to succesfully select the values during sale order creation for a configurable material. But i wanted a additional requirement as below-

eg.

Characteristic Charac. values

1. Car with color = 'yes' or 'no'.

2. Car color = Red or blue or green.

Requirement :

During selection if i select 'Car with color' = 'yes', the next charac 'car color' should be displayed'.

if, During selection if i select 'Car with color' = 'no', the next charac 'car color' should not be displayed'.

To enable the above requirement i had created a Dependency in CU01 -

( Car with color eq 'yes' ) to sl.no.2.

But, the above Dependency is not working.

Is there something else to be done after creating dependency ?

Regards,

As has been pointed out above, create a Precondition and assign it to your Characteristic for the Car Color. The syntax however should read

$self.c_car_with_color specified and 
$self.c_car_with_color = 'YES'

This will keep the Car Color Characteristic Hidden until you have Selected the CAR_WITH_COLOR Characteristic and specified the Value "YES".

Create a precondition in CU01

This precondition has the following source code:

Car with color eq u2018Yesu2019

Allocate the precondition to characteristic Car color, because this characteristic is affected by the precondition.

Hi,

In tcode CT04 car colour charecter value assign precondition car with color = 'yes' as object dependency for each colour.

hi,

I had created the dependency thro Precondition only.

The dependency check is also correct.

But it is not refering during sale rder creation.

Should the 'Depencency' be assigned to any characteristic ? If so how ?

i suggest you maintain precondition for the charecterisitcs ( 2nd one)

you can see object dependecy maintainance button while maintaining charecteristics (basic data tab page).

Hi rishi ,

1. Car_with_color = 'yes' or 'no'.

2. Car_color = Red or blue or green.

create a precondition , $parent. CAR_WITH_COLOUR = "yes"

and attach this to your characteerstic CAR_COLOUR , in CT04

so when ever

During selection if you select 'Car_with _color' = 'yes', the next charac 'car color' should be displayed'.

Test it and come back for discussion.

i hope it will work for you.

hi,

you must use Preconditions in such cases..

Say char - 'carcolour' and its values are -'yes' and 'no'

if 'yes' is selected then 2nd charecterisitcs must be shown

lets say 2nd charecterisitcs is - 'color'

you define precondition for charecteristics 'color' as carcolor = 'yes' and specified carcolor

this must solve your problem.

you need to create a dependency type called precondition in CU01

for example see the link - [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/92/58d455417011d189ec0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm]
