Documentation

Use

After adding this kind of predefined step ("function call") to your strategy, you can determine the top node of the commitment item USERCMMTITEM - that is, the top node within the commitment item hierarchy.

Further notes

If you leave the field USERCIVARNT blank, the system takes account of the standard variant of the commitment item hierarchy. However, you may choose another variant by assigning a distinct value to USERCIVARNT.

Please note that the predefined step of type function call uses the field USERCMMTITEM as input and output field. This allows you to use the top node of the commitment item hierarchy within conditions for derivation steps.

Example

You want to assign the top node of the input field CMMTITEM to the output field RCMMTITEM of the control object using the variant "001". In this case, first add this predefined step to your strategy by checking the corresponding box, then edit your strategy.

At the end, your derivation strategy should contain the following derivation steps:

  • MOVE: source = field CMMTITEM, target = field USERCMMTITEM
  • MOVE: source = constant '001', target = field USERCIVARNT
  • FUNCTION CALL: Determine top node of commitment item
  • MOVE: source = field USERCMMTITEM, target = field RCMMTITEM
