I'm having difficulty doing the screen selection:
1) characteristics A to be made mandatory only when characteristics B is with a certain value.
2) characteristics C to have a default value as long as characteristics D is without a value. If D has a certain value, C will be defaulted to another value.
Hi,
Please do the following changes to rectify the difficulties
1) Create a selection condition with the following coding and assign it to the characteristics A basic data tab at the class level in CL02
CHAR_B = u2018Xu2019
When Char B has value X then char A will become Mandatory otherwise Non Mandatory
2) Write a procedure with the following coding and assign it in Configuration profile with proper sequence number
$SET_DEFAULT ($SELF, CHAR_C, '1') if not CHAR_D specified,
$DEL_DEFAULT ($SELF, CHAR_C, '1') if CHAR_D specified,
$SET_DEFAULT ($SELF, CHAR_C, '2') if CHAR_D = 'E',
$DEL_DEFAULT ($SELF, CHAR_C, '2') if not CHAR_D = 'E'
Note: The values mentioned in the code to be replaced with actual values

1) In characters of A, set CHAR_B = u2018Xu2019 through selection condition.
I'm wondering how X can make char A become mandatory?
Is X a keyword or something?
2) $SET_DEFAULT
That could be used in procedure and not actions.
I saw SAP help has warned the use of actions and procedures together.
I wonder if that means if they are used in the same class? So if i were to convert all of actions to procedures within that class, will there be problems?
Is it possible to use them in same class but in different characteristics?
Thanks
Hi,
1) In the Selection condition code you have to mention the value of the CHAR_B to which the CHAR_A should be mandatory. What i have mentioned X value is an example.
CHAR_B = 'Value'
When user select a specific value for CHAR_B then CHAR_A will become mandatory.
2) As Suggested by SAP better to convert existing Actions to Procedures and assign them centrally in Config profile. Assignment of procedures in class some times gives problem.
I hope this clarifies your requirements

Is there anyways to ensure that I have converted all the action to procedure?
there are too many of them

Hi,
As far I know there is no standard way to check the conversion you required. Need to carry manaul methods.
1) Take the list of related Actions used in the models from PMEVC or from Table CUKB and export the list to Excel
2) Similarly take the list of newly created procedures from CUKB table and export to excel
3) Need to carry manual comparisions of both dependencies by putting them in side by side columns.
May not be a good way.Just to give a thought.

Thanks for all the help! Let me try out first...
But I like to confirm... if I were to convert all the actions into procedure...
I would only have to convert those within the same class.
Within that class, there are over 50 actions and this will take a lot of work and testing.
So if i were to really do that, I must make sure there is no negative impact.
I would consider that a major change... hahaha...

Hi There
1. To make Char A mandatory if Char B has Value X.
To achieve this create a selection condition which has the following syntax.
$SELF.CHAR_B ='X' and specified $SELF.CHAR_B. Attach this to the CharA.
This will make the Char A entry required only when Char B has the value X.
But this will not stop the user from entering the value into Char A. To ensure that User does not enter any value in Char A till Char B gets a value X . You can add a Precondition with the same syntax .
2.For the second part Create a procedure and assign it to the Config profile
The procedure should have the following syntax .
$SET_DEFAULT($SELF,CHAR_C,'Y') if not specified $SELF.CHAR_D,
$DEL_DEFAULT($SELF,CHAR_C,'Y') if specified $SELF.CHAR_D,
$SET_DEFAULT($SELF,CHAR_C,'Z') if specified $SELF.CHAR_D

I could select char B to have value X and still go to the costing button in CU50 and proceed without entering anything in char A.
If its mandatory, it should also prevent me from doing costing... right?
Hi,
CU50 Char value assignment screen will allow to carry costing without completion of configuration as it chooses sales document SIMULATION. But it won't allow to save the cost estimate.
In Sales documents (Quote/Order) system won't allow to run costing w/o completion of configuration.

Hi
you can use precondition/procedure to default /hide the characteristic / characteristicvalues .

Hi
for char A and Char B
create precondition
charB specified char B and assigned to charA or
for Char C and Char D
create a precondition
char c eq 'char D value ' and specified char C --> assign to char C
for different to be set for different value of char D
$self.charC = 'char C value ' if character D = Char D value --> write this procedure for all the value for which you want to interfer across the charc and char d and assigned to configuration profile.
please let em know if you any isssues.

Hi, based on what you have written:
1) precondition "specified char B" assigned to char A
This means that char A will be hidden and appear only when char B has a value. I can still not enter anything for char A and have not problem with it.
What I want is when char B has a value, char A must have a value also and cannot be left blank. I do not want to hide char A and char B.
2)
precondition "char c = 'value1' and specified char C" assigned to char C
precedure "$self.char C = 'value2' if char D = 'value1'"
This means char C will appear only when it has value1.
When char D has value1, char C becomes value2.
I do not want to hide char C and char D.
So what if I now put char D to value1 and later put char D to blank.
What I would expect is that char C will be value1 instead of value2 or blank.
Hi
what is the data type used for these characters.
For question 1
try with this, write a procedure
$self.charA > 0 if charB NOT SPECIFIED else
$self.charA eq CharA val 1 if CharB val 1(you can also use variant table to infer the values if you hav so many )
$self.Char A eq Char Val2 if Char B Val2
Try this hope this will solve your problem.

Hi
For Question no 2
Char C and Char D
1.you can make default value for char C in Ct04 or u you can write a procedure for the same (value can be overwritten )
2.for the value to to be populate
you can maintain the variant table for char C and Char D values
and can include the following procedure in configuration profile
Table <name >
(char c= charc,
charD = char D)

Hi
You can use precondition and procedure for hidding / default the characteritic / characateristic values.
Thanks and Regards
