Example Precondition for a Characteristic  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

You have a configurable material, BIKE. This material has characteristic MODEL.

Condition

MODEL

Racing

Mountain

  
 

Tandem

  

TANDEM_SADDLE

  

MODEL = 'Tandem'

If the value ‘Tandem’ is selected for MODEL, you see characteristic TANDEM_SADDLE, which was hidden before.

Procedure

  1. Create a precondition.
  2. This precondition has the following source code:
    3.

    MODEL eq ‘Tandem’
  3. Allocate the precondition to characteristic TANDEM_SADDLE, because this characteristic is affected by the precondition.

Result

The system checks whether the value ‘Tandem’ is set for characteristic MODEL.

Completing the Condition

You want characteristic TANDEM_SADDLE hidden if characteristic MODEL does not have a value. Add the following condition to the source code:

MODEL eq 'Tandem' and Specified MODEL

There are now 2 conditions to fulfill for this precondition:

1. Characteristic MODEL must have a value.

2. Characteristic MODEL must have the value 'Tandem'.
