Realignment-Nav attributes

[Former Member]

hello all...i'm new to this forum and had a basic question about the Realignment process. Will realignment copy navigation attributes to the new combi? Sorry if this question sounds dumb but pls do let me know.

an extract from the SAP SCM 4.0 help

<b>“Realigning” Navigation Attributes

Use

The normal realignment process for characteristic values is not available for navigation attributes. This is because such attributes are not included in characteristic value combinations. They “point” to a value of another characteristic. It is possible to change navigation attributes as described here.</b>

i've tried this before and i had to make manual changes for the navigation attributes.

for more clarity look into this <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/61/7ade603472c447b0bb52d67391683e/frameset.htm">Link</a>

Thanks for the replies. The nav attributes weren't copied as you said NV but i want to program a report that can update the attributes. Do you know if there are any FM for this? Please let me know.

Hi, you can use the FM RSDMD_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES_TEXTS for updating the attributes.

Thanks!

Hi rahul,

With my best knowledge yes realignment work for nav attributes also.

Bcoz at program level there is a flag which checks whether navigation attribute has to read or not.So If the check is there at program level means it should be possible.

Hello Rahul..welcome to the forum...

and No realignment will not copy the navigational attributes...u need to either manually fill it using RSA1 or u can have a program to fill the attributes.

hope this helps!

thanks!
