Calculated characteristic

[Former Member]

Hi PM experts,

in our scenario we have classified technical objects (functional locations and equipments), but we need to get some characteristic calculated and not inserted by users.

EG: for a particular type of functional location there is a characteristic that might be obtained by the product of two other char of the same object.

Do you have any idea on how to obtain this ?

Thanks in advance

Andrea,

You have a few of options:

- Use variant configuration to determine the values. This might mean using class type 300, or changing the standard 002 class type.

- Append a new field to the relevant table (e.g. IFLO) and get a user-exit to populate the value (e.g. ILOM0001 at FLoc save). Then use a reference characteristic to look-up the value in the appended field.

- Use a batch program to update the characterisitic

- Etc
