Gurus,

Can someone explain a dependency net with a example.

Thanks

hi,

pl check this ;

Dependencies let you do the following:

Describe the interdependencies between characteristics and characteristic values

Control which components are selected from a bill of material (BOM) and which operations are selected from a task list

Change the values of fields in BOM items and operations during configuration

You use a special syntax in the dependency editor to define dependencies.

Dependency Types

The SAP System supports the following types of dependencies:

Preconditions

Selection conditions

Actions (obsolete)

Procedures

Constraints

Global and Local Dependencies

The differences between global and local dependencies are as follows:

Global dependencies are created centrally and can be assigned to several objects.

Local dependencies are created for one object and can only be used with this object.

Integration

You can use dependencies in the following components:

Component CA – Classification System

Component LO – Variant Confi

Gurus,

I need an example of a dependency net which includes Preconditions

Selection conditions, Actions ,Procedures and Constraints(either all f them or some of them).

Thanks

Dear Andy,

http://www.sap-basis-abap.com/sd/steps-for-variant-configuration-and-pricing.htm

1.Create a Material of your Motor Cycle using Material type KMAT(MM01).

2.Then create a characteristic called ZColour(SAP has a standard Characteristic for this but it has multiple values-i.e you can select more than one colour for your Bike.If you do not want that create your own)with character format and assign single value radio button on the initial screen.Go to values Tab and give the colours you need.save the characteristic.Similarly repeat for CC(I figure this CC as 100cc & 200cc kind of thing.If you want these as materials then it is a different story-I am taking this as feature as well)

3.Create a class called Zbike with the above 2 characteristics.save the class

4.Create a configuration profile Zbikeprof using Cu41 and assign the Kmat material to Class Zbike,

5.Then create the order and Enter the Kmat material you want in the Order.

http://www.sap-img.com/sap-sd/steps-for-sd-variant-configuration.htm

Create a Material - KMAT type with Item category (002)

Create Charateristics in CT04 - Zbike, where in values mention the Color of the bile like Red, Blue etc

Create another characteristics in CT04 - ZPrice, where directly go the additional data tab and maintain the table SDCOM and field VKOND (ABAP Dictionary it will ask for)

Assign these two characteristics to a Class in CL01 - ZBikeclass ( Type 300) in characteristics tab page.

Then go to CU41 Configuration profile select the material and enter the description click on the class assignment ie assign Zbikclass.

Now go back to CT04 - enter Zbike -go to values- select Red- go to extras - Other Dependencies - Select Procedure enter in front 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Red' and save

Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)

Now select Blue- go to extras - Other Dependencies - Editor - Select Procedure enter in front of 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Blue' and save

Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)

Now go to VK11 - Enter VA00 (Condition)(For Std RVA001 Pricing Procedure) - enter variant Red and Blue give the rates accordingly and create the sales order.

The variant configuration standard analysis is based on data that is updated to the information structure S128.

Characteristics

Class type

Material

Int. characteristic

Characteristic value

Sales organization

Distribution channel

Division

Sold-to party

Plant

Key Figures

Delivery quantity in base unit of measure

Incoming orders (net 1, net 2)

Incoming orders: freight

Incoming orders: gross

Incoming orders: net value

Incoming orders: pricing subtotal 5 and 6

Net value of invoiced sales

Open order quantity based on confirmation date of schedule line

Open order quantity based on requested delivery date of schedule line

Open order value based on confirmation date of schedule line

Open order value based on requested delivery date of schedule line

Total order quantity based on confirmation date of schedule line

Delivery frequency in base unit of measure

Open incoming orders frequency based on requested delivery date of schedule line

Open incoming orders frequency based on confirmation date of schedule line

Incoming orders frequency based on confirmation date of schedule line

Incoming orders frequency based on requested delivery date of schedule line

Incoming order quantity based on requested delivery date of schedule line

Hope this will help.

Naveen.
