The Characteristic Value Assignment Screen 

Definition

The characteristic value assignment screen shows the characteristics of a configurable object, so that you can assign values to them.

Use

On the characteristic value assignment screen, you define the features of a variant of a configurable product. You configure the material by assigning values to its characteristics.

As you enter characteristic values, dependencies for the characteristics, characteristic values, and the configuration profile are processed. Depending on the values you assign, characteristics or characteristic values can be shown or hidden, or values can be set for characteristics automatically.

You can define user-specific settings for the value assignment screen (for example, display of characteristics and characteristic values). If you do not define user-specific settings, the object-specific settings from the configuration profile apply.
