characteristic value should act as a Trigger point for other Characteristic

[Former Member]

Hello SAP Gurus,

We have a requirement where in the Value at the characteristic value of Additional data Tab should act as a Triggerring point for other Characteristic values to be entered,

like if i enter a value in the initial Characteristic field it should Open up its own Characteristic field values below it to be filled.

If a different value is entered in the same Characteristic field it should Open up its own 2nd Set of Characteristic field values below it to be filled,

ie.. the initial characteristic should act as a master or Parent characteristic and based on the value entered in that master characteristic it should open up separate sets of characteristic values to be filled below it.

say in Master characteristics if we select Agreement

It should open up asking the users to fill any of this folowing

1) Tender

2) Vendor Contract

3) initial agreement

4) Final agreement

5) Signed agreement

If the Master characteristics if we slect Manuals

the system should open up asking the users to fill any of this folowing now,

1) General Manuals

2) Operational manuals

3) Finance manuals

4) Statutory manuals

can this be done through characteristic dependency configuration or requires a development please eloborate your answer

Points awaiting for any right information

Thanks and Regards

Dear Priya,

The scenario you had explained, does not require any development. Through standard only it can be achieve. You have to make use of Value dependency. i.e. Value in second charateristic is dependent on value of primary characteristic. There is nothing new in value dependency. For each value in characteristic you can set dependency.

Hi

Create two CHARS

1) Category

2) Subcategory

In Category , assign values Agreements, Manuals

In Subcategory, assign the follwing values

1) Tender

2) Vendor Contract

3) initial agreement

4) Final agreement

5) Signed agreement

6) General Manuals

7) Operational manuals

😎 Finance manuals

9) Statutory manuals

Now if you select Category as "Agreement" , in Subcategory only fields 1-5 would appear

and if u select Catgeory as "Manuals'. in Subcategory only values from 6-9 would appear

For this create two Global Object Dependencies using txn - cu01 with Preconditions and assign to values

Hi,

This can be done with standard precondition condition dependency.

Here based on char value selection you can hide or display other char or char val.

Ex:-

Char 1 has two values Yes and No

Base on Char 1 value selection you want to hide or display Char 2 then use precondition dependency.
