Hi Chakravarthy,

Let us say you have 3fields in condition table, represetning 3 fields of product heirarchy, and they are displayed as free key field in the table of that accc seq, becos they are free keys, you could have assigned some priority also to them.

Now

you maintain c.records, during which you left 1st field as empty.only 2nd field is filled.

In another record, you have only the 3rd field filled while the remaining fields are left empty

Now you create an order.

There is a material which has valid c.record for the condition type, both at the 2nd field level and at the 3rd field level.

Now based onthe priority you have set in teh acc seq for the conditino table fields, the access will be made. If you have maintained Priority1 for 3rd field, then the record maintained for the field3 alone will be read and the record maintained for the 2nd will be neglected as teh former one has more priority than the later one.

Hope this clears you of the concept of free keys

Reward if thsi helps you

Please refer the free keys -

Initial value allowed

The initial inicator has two functions within Customizing for access sequences. Firstly, it controls that the system does not access the condition if the field in the document header/item is blank or 0. Secondly, during automatic return transfer of data that were determined in the access, it allows an initial value to be returned.

Priority

This valuation describes a priority for the characteristics which can be used as fields when you create condition tables or document fields for pricing. You can enter values from 01 (very high) to 99 (very low).

The valuation controls how the system selects from the condition records determined from an access with a free key part. The more fields that are filled with a high priority in the key of a condition record, the more likely it is to be used for the document.

If no two fields have the same value, then the access is guaranteed to determine exactly one condition record.

Atype

The processing type determines how the corresponding field is used for the access. The field can be marked as belonging to the fixed/free key part or else as not relevant for the access.

Fields that are defined as data fields for the definition of condition tables are automatically marked with an access type.

I will be very thankful if this can be explained in detail with examples. I had a chance to look at help documentation so i would require more details with examples and also how to use them.

Does free keys refer to variant keys?
