Change quantity in SuperBOM through characteristic value

[Former Member]

Hello all,

Can you please help me with the syntax for dependency, which will affect the quantity in SuperBOM?

Background: I want to make a configuration of accessories, so what I did is a configuration of Accessory A, then Accessory B.

All of my SuperBOM items have a selection condition based on the configuration - but the quantity is always 1 (= default value in SuperBOM)

Rupesh ,

You can use reference characteristics with dependencies to change field values.

Go through below link and try in your sand box.

Hope it will help you, if stuck any where , post the issue.

Thanks

Ritesh

Hello,

I went through the documentation, but I never found an example of the syntax and where to put it - in characteristic, or superbom?

Can you send an example? (something like IF GD_UN EQ 'YES' THEN QTY = GD_QTY)

Its Easy,

   Create a reference characteristic called QUAN reference  Table STPO field MENGE 

  Create a dependency procedure with the following source code:

$SELF.QUAN = 2  IF GD_UN EQ 'YES' 

Allocate the procedure to BOM item where you have attached selection condition.

check and reply.

Hope it will help you.

Thanks

As I'm a real newbie, I was struggling a bit to understand how to create the quantity reference characteristic (to put the values in tab additional data), but I managed .

Then another problem was that I created the dependency in the BOM before the ref. char. was created, so naturally the status was blocked.

After I resolved those problems, it is working like a charm!

Thanks!
