Documentation

Definition

Represents the state of production of the affiliated assembly network.

USE

This variable allows the ability to enable/disable options in variant configuration based on the state of production. In order for variant configuration to use this information, a reference characteristic that refers to the field vbak-stage must exist.

The format of the variable is numeric so as to allow mathematical operations such as "=", ">", "<" in the precondition criteria. Thus one can make statements that an option is enabled whenever stage > =1, etc.

This field is filled from the report SAPMHBSSTG. The report can be run manually, but the most likely scenario is to have it called from a workflow task. This workflow can in turn be triggered from a milestone on the assembly network, thus making the task seamless to the end user.
