Hi

From SAP Help

Formula Field

Use

To calculate a value for a calculated characteristic, enter a formula in this field. The formula will be evaluated by the SAP formula interpreter in the following places:

• In the task list (checked for correct syntax)
  The function module CHECK_FORMULA checks whether a formula stored as a literal or as variable has the correct syntax.

• In results recording (when the value of the calculated characteristic is to be calculated)

Example

A formula can be structured as follows (with the standard settings):

Characteristic 10 stands for the length and characteristic 20 stands for the width. Characteristic 30 represents the area and is to be calculated from characteristics 10 and 20.
Characteristic 30 is therefore a calculated characteristic with the following formula:

• General: Area = Length * Width
• Formula interpreter: Area = ppnnnn * ppnnnn
  The variable 'pp' defines the formula parameter and 'nnnn' represents the characteristic from which the value of the formula parameter is taken.
• Example: Area = C00010 * C00020
  'C0' stands for the arithmetic mean value and '0010' or '0020' for the respective characteristic

Hi Shriram

When you carry out an inspection using quantitative inspection characteristics, you can also use calculated characteristics to automatically calculate the results derived from the values of other characteristics. In contrast to the other types of inspection characteristics, you do not record the results for a calculated characteristic. Instead, the system calculates the results for a calculated characteristic automatically on the basis of a formula stored in the characteristic.

You enter a formula into a calculated characteristic when you maintain it in the inspection plan. You can use the standard mathematical functions and operators in the formula, together with
