Selection Condition for a Characteristic (SAP Library

Selection Condition for a Characteristic

Characteristic MODEL is assigned to configurable material BIKE.

Then characteristic TANDEM_SADDLE is assigned to configurable material BIKE. This characteristic has a precondition (refer to Example: Precondition for a Characteristic).

Characteristic	Values	Condition
MODEL	Racing
	Standard
	Mountain
	Tandem
TANDEM_SADDLE		Precondition: MODEL = TANDEM
		Selection condition: MODEL = TANDEM

You then want to assign a selection condition to the characteristic, which determines that you must assign a value to the characteristic if MODEL ‘Tandem’ is selected.

Procedure

You create a selection condition.

This selection condition has the following source code:

MODEL eq 'Tandem'

Allocate the selection condition to characteristic TANDEM_SADDLE.

Result

If you enter value 'Tandem' for characteristic MODEL when you configure material BIKE, you fulfill 2 conditions:

The precondition displays the characteristic.
The selection condition makes you assign a value to the characteristic.

If you do not assign a value to characteristic TANDEM_SADDLE, you automatically see the characteristic when you exit the configuration editor, so that you can assign a value.

You can only leave the configuration editor if you do one of the following:

Assign a value to the characteristic
Change the status of the configuration
