Read Cost element attributes

[Former Member]

Folks,

Cost Element InfoObject has a attribute "Type".

Different values for "Type" = 1,2,3

Cost element is a time dependent compounded InfoObject. Hence I need to pass the value of related controlling area and time.

How do I read the value of attribute "Type"?

I have tried using ATRV & ATRVT, but without any luck.

Would appreciate if you could give an example for deriving the attribute value from a compounded time dependent InfoObject.

Thanx,

Raghu

Thanx Anurag, but not very sure if I can use Charateristic relationship.

I need to obtain the value of the attribute in a fox function. Let me explain it further.

Background :

*************************************************

Planning area -

---

Charac----

---

KF

*************************************************

area1 -

---

Payscale group--- Amount

-

---

Cost element------AmountVR

_________________________________________________

area2--

---

Payscalegroup----KF1

-

KF2

KF3

*************************************************

Cost Element has an attribute "Type"

Value for attribute "Type" = 1,2,3

Based on the value of the attribute, the corresponding KF needs to be multiplied.

Logic :

If type = 1.

AmountVR = Amount * KF1.

elseif type = 2.

AmountVR = Amount * KF2.

elseif type = 3.

AmountVR = Amount * KF3.

endif.

The problem I'm facing is that I'm not able to read the data of attribute "Type". None of the below statement retrieve the value of the "Type".

TYPE = ATRV(Attribute,COSTELEMENT,CO_AREA)

or

TYPE = ATRV(Attribute,COSTELEMENT)

Could you please help me in reading from a time dependent compounding InfoObject?
