Editing Value Assignments (SAP Library - Specification Management)

Editing Value Assignments

Within the property tree, double-click the value assignment type you want to edit.

The Edit Specification: Value Assignment screen appears. The tab page contains data for the first value assignment instance.

If you want to change another value assignment instance or create another value assignment instance in addition to the existing ones, proceed as follows:

If you want to create a value assignment instance, enter the sort sequence in the table in an empty Sort (sort sequence) field and confirm your entry.
If you want to change a value assignment instance, open it by double-clicking the Sort field for the value assignment instance in the table.

Note

A dialog box appears in which you can choose whether you want to copy the value assignments of the reference to edit them or whether you want to create new value assignments, that is the value assignments of the reference are deleted in this value assignment type. In both cases the data is not updated if you change data in the source specification of the reference.

If a value assignment instance you want to change contains data by inheritance, the data is displayed only. You can change this data only if the inheritance template allows the data to be changed (see Editing Inheritance Templates). To edit this value assignment instance, choose .

A dialog box appears in which you can choose whether the inherited data is to be temporarily or permanently overwritten. The inheritance template also controls whether data can be permanently overwritten. If you overwrite data permanently, this data is not updated if you change the corresponding data in the source specification for the inheritance.

Note

In Customizing for Product Safety in the IMG activity Specify Value Assignment Types you can specify the sequence of the tab pages in the value assignment screen for each value assignment type. You can also hide individual tab pages. This means it is possible that you may not be able to execute some of the above procedures for certain value assignment types because the required tab page is hidden.
If you call value assignment in display mode, only data records to which active usages are assigned are displayed. You must also have authorization for the usage.
If you call value assignment in editing mode, all data records are displayed. If you have already assigned a usage to the data records, you must have editing authorization. Otherwise, the data records are displayed in display mode only.

If you require additional value assignment instances, create them and edit them as described.
