You use the Generate Combinations function type to generate empty records for an aggregation level. The empty records are generated for all permitted combinations using the master data and characteristic combinations. These are exactly those combinations that are valid when the aggregation level is checked (see Characteristic Relationships).
This function type does not allow any additional settings. Since new data records are continuously generated for the whole aggregation level, all characteristics must have status to be changed. The function type works without block characteristics.
The function type writes empty records (like Copy).
