DMS Charectaristics Dependencies - (Material & Description)

[Former Member]

Hello Everybody,

can any one pls advice on how to create a dependency between 2 characteristics for DMS?

one is for the Material Number and the other is for that Material Description.

i want that when i input a material number into the first characteristic it's material description will automatically be filled in the second characteristic.

Have a nice day.

Hi Yossi,

This can be easily achieved using the concept of dependencies.

Dependencies are meant to control the dependencies of value of one characteristic on the value of another characteristic, or dependencies within characteristic etc.

Classification module supports the following types of dependencies:

· Precondition

· Selection condition

· Actions (obsolete)

· Procedures

· Constraints

In your case,suggest use Pecondition dependancy. Learn more about its application from:

Hi Yossi,

It depends on how you are picking up the material numbers. If these values are maintained in value fields then give object dependacy to description.

If you have picked material values from table MARA then description will not come and dependacy can't be given. For this you need to write a z-program.

I hope thiswill resolve the query.

have a nice day,

Yossi.
