Required characteristic (Char.2) was excluded

[Former Member]

Dear All,

Scenario:

I have a finished material which is configurable material.

The following were created for the material,

1. Configurable tick in the material master.
2. The classification view assigned.
3. The class assigned.

I have created a class with 2 characteristics (Char.1 & Char.2).

In char.1 I have assigned 2 values (X & Y).

In char.2 I have assigned 2 values (W & Z).

Now my condition is that when I create sales order and enter the configuration, if I select value ‘X’ in the char.1, the char.2 should be available for values selection. If i select value ‘Y’ in the char.1 then the char.2 should not come for selection at all.

This is working fine based on the precondition which I have written against the char.2. But the problem I am facing is that char.2 is entry required.

When I select value ‘Y’ in the char.1 , the char.2 does not display but I am not able to proceed further as an error message is getting thrown (Required characteristic (Char.2) was excluded).Now I cannot remove the tick mark (Entry required) as the char.2 needs to be input with value if it is there for selection.

So please suggest a solution for the above problem.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sagin,

According to the LO-VC documentation, adding a Selection Condition on Char.2 like the following:

Char.1 SPECIFIED AND Char.1 = 'X'.

should work, after having removed the 'Entry Required' flag in Char.2.

Just give it a try and let me know.

Thank you and bye,

Flavio

Sagin Russel,

Simplest way is  to use another characterstic  instead of looking for work around.

Are you using characteristic value for char2 any where?

Create a new value as dummy and  setup as default for char 2.

Check below thread too.

If your requirements are not flexible, you can look into constraints to setup this rules , just a pre condition or entry required tick will not help.

Thanks
