Object Dependency in Additional Data for Mandatory Characteristics

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have an issue with Object dependency in Additonal data.

I have two characteristics TEST1(A,B) & TEST2 (Values - P,Q,R,X,Y,Z).

These two are MANDATORY characteristics in DIR.

Requirement:

Depends on the value selected in TEST1, values in TEST2 has to be filtered for selection.

For Ex:

If User selects value A in TEST1, It should prompt values P,Q,R in TEST2.

If User selects value B in TEST1, It should prompt values X,Y,Z in TEST2.

Object Dependency Syntax:

specified TEST_DOC_CAT_ECM AND

TEST_DOC_CAT_ECM = 'ENGINEERING'

When I create a Document, go to Additional Data Tab, Select value in TEST1, then it shows the corresponding values in TEST2 as per object dependency defined.

Issue:

If I save the DIR without filling additional data values, system prompts to fill the mandatory characteristic values.

Firstly, window pops up for TEST1 Characteristic, select a value.

Then, prompts for TEST2 characteristic. Here, I am suppose to see the corresponding values as per Object Dependency. But, i could see empty window, doesnt show any value to select.

As it is a mandatory field, system displays the inconsistency error due to this reason.

One more Observation:

Even though i have selected the value for TEST1 characteristic, when i go to the additional data, i could see no value in TEST1 characterisic.

I have to go to the additonal data tab and fill all the mandatory fields to overcome this.

Users may forget some times to fill the data, and they are trying to enter while saving the DIR through pop up windows. But, they are encountering this problem

I would like to know the reason for this strange behaviour. Please help me to solve this issue.

Best Regards,

Hi Madhu,

With the notes 906097 and 1000800 system does not allow to save a DIR

unless the characteristic values that are marked as required are

entered.

To change this behavior please implement the attached note 1079992.

The correct behaviour is that from Document Management System while

saving a DIR, users will be prompted to enter the mandatory class

values.When the user does not enter the class values and cancels the

same ,then the status of the class will be changed allowing the user to

save the DIR.

Hi Christoph,

Thank you vor your valuable inputs.

This note helps me to fill the characteristics before saving the DIR. This is one of the concerns for us.

I have an issue with object dependency. system prompt empty window for the characteristic which has object dependency.

But, this object dependency character is a Required field.

Willl this notes also address this issue.

Hi Madhu,

I think the corrections of this note should also help to solve this issue with object dependency.

Hi,

Test 1 (Z_TEST1)

u2022A

u2022B

Test 2 (Z_TEST2)

u2022P - needs the obj dep Z_TEST1 = u2018Au2019

u2022Q - needs the obj dep Z_TEST1 = u2018Au2019

u2022R - needs the obj dep Z_TEST1 = u2018Au2019

u2022X - needs the obj dep Z_TEST1 = u2018Bu2019

u2022Y - needs the obj dep Z_TEST1 = u2018Bu2019

u2022X - needs the obj dep Z_TEST1 = u2018Bu2019

Hope it helps

Dear Madhu P

I think you can get one value for one value.

Means if I choose A for Test1 I will be able to assign B for Test2. You dont have to enter anything in Test2.

If the characteristics are made mandatory then you will be prompted to enter it.

With Regards
