Selection of perticular Sub Folders in characteristics

[former_member219170]

Hi Friends,

In our organization we are having various levels of storing documents which are presently being used. I will explain briefly below:

1st level : Asset type (Sub Station, Line and Cables)

2.1 level : Sub Station Types (A, B,C,D)

2.2 level : Line Types( L1, L2, L3)

2.3 level : Cable Types (C1, C2, C3)

3.1 level : Technical types (s/s equp, automation equp)

3.2 level Line Sub types (circuit 1, circuit 2 )

We have multiple levels on each type, there are around 7 sub levels on each. I am doing thru characteristics and assigning them to class and in turn to Doc. type.

Here our concern is when we select Substation in 1st level (characteristic value of asset type) only 2.1 substation types should selected. Accordingly related to 2.1 sub u2013 sub levels like 3.1 , 4.1 and 5.1 should be shown for selection, NOT OTHERS.

Likewise when we select Line in 1st level, only 2.2 level, 3.2 , 4.2 , 5.2 levels should be shown for selection.

In normal all levels will be there for selection. I know in standard it canu2019t be done. Did anyone tried this, do any know in what we can do this ? Any BADI / User exits / enhancements details will be helpful.

In legacy system they are doing this fashion, so they require to have in SAP also same fashion, so I am thinking in this direction.

Hi Sai,

This is maintained in Extras-> Object dependancies. Use the object dependancy to the characteristics which you need to display once a specific field "Sub-station" is selected then only substations will come in below characteristic field.

Select object dependancy type as "Precondition".

Do the same for all characteristics which you need to give object dependacy.

Hope this will resolve the query.

Hi Ravindra,

Thanks for your reply. I tried in the following way, but couldn't succeed.

I go to CT04 change, select, 1st level : Asset type .Select "values" tab, and put the cursor on Sub Station (characteristic value of Asset type), then select thru menu path : Extras- Object dependancies-assignments. A new screen come, in this I entered text as"substation dependency", status as "2" (Inpreparation) (alternatives availbles are : 1- Released, 2 - Inpreparation, 3 - locked). In dependency type , selected " Precondition"

I did the same way for Lines and Cables (characteristic value of Asset type).

When I try to create DIR, for that doc. type (classtype), after selecting "Substation" (characteristic value of Asset type) other characteristics like Line and Cables are also appearing.

Shall I know what exactly we can do in the "dependency assignments"

My requirement is that when we select any value of characteristic of 1st level, (characteristic value of asset type) only 2.1 substation types should selected. Now I could able to select 2.2 level : Line Types and 2.3 level : Cable Types .

Hi Sai,

Since, only 2.1 substation must be displayed when ever a characteristic value has been assigned to a characteristic in the first level, go to the Basic Data screen in '2.1 Substation' > Extras > Object Dependencies > Editor > Select the dependency type as 'Precondition' and in line 000010, enter the following syntax,

'Substation' specified.

Similarly, proceed towards maintaining relevant syntaxes for the subsequent elements(3.1,4.1...)

Hi,

I tried, but couldn't succeed.

I found some more info in below links:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/EN/ec/62aa7e416a11d1896d0000e8322d00/content.htm

I did the following chages, went to Characteristic 2.1, Sub station type, > Extras > Object Dependencies > Editor > Select the dependency type as 'Precondition' and in line 000010

Entered

asset='SUB STATION'

Then select characteristic 2.2 level, line and entered in line 000010

asset='LINES'

When I clik on check button, it says no errors.

But When I am trying to Create DIR, there is no change or not got required results. What ever I select in Asset characteristic (1st level) all below characteristics are appearing like

2.1 level : Sub Station Types (A, B,C,D)

2.2 level : Line Types( L1, L2, L3)

2.3 level : Cable Types (C1, C2, C3)

Shall I know where I am doing wrong.
