Restricting a Characteristic (SAP Library - Variant Configuration (LO-VC))

Restricting a Characteristic

Use

You can only restrict restrictable characteristics by using constraints.

Under RESTRICTIONS: you can restrict a characteristic as follows:

· Call a variant table that contains the valid combinations of values.

· Operator 'IN

Operator 'IN'

<Characteristic> IN ('Value1', Value2', 'Value3',…)

· Compare 2 alphanumeric characteristics that are both restrictable

Characteristic_1 = Characteristic_2

As a result of the comparison, the allowed values for Characteristic_2 are assigned to Characteristic_1.

· Linear function

For numeric characteristics that are restrictable, you can use a linear function in the form
F(x) < 0.

- A constant value is given on the right-hand side.

- F(x) is a linear expression with the variable X.

- Any other comparison operator can be used in the place of '<'.

Example

5x - 20 > 0
