Variant configuration-change characteristic value

[Former Member]

Dear SD experts,

We are working on Variant configuration. Once sales order is created with a material where we defined all the characteristic values like length,width,tolerance etc and delivery has been made.Now we need to change the value of one of the characteristic value for eg. LENGTH....when we go to va02, these values r in disable mode. we even tried to change the charactristic value by cancelling the delivery/PGI. Even then it is in disable mode.

How to change the characteristic value of a material once it has been defined and saved...

helpful answers will be rewarded

The message is

Allowed Changes to Characteristics

Use

When you change a characteristic, the following restrictions apply:

You cannot change the format entries after a characteristic is used in a class. You can

change the formats number and character at any time.

You can increase the number of characters, but not reduce the number of characters,

once the characteristic has been used in a class.

You cannot change the format entries in Engineering Change Management. This

makes avoiding inconsistent data statuses difficult.

<b>You cannot delete a value that has been assigned to an object.</b>You can use the where-used list for characteristic values to found out which objects were

assigned values you can then reset the value (see Directory for Characteristic Value

[Page 62]).

You cannot physically delete the assignment from the database if the assignment was

done in Engineering Change Management. The value itself can also not be deleted.

Sarosh
