Definition

The activity indicator for the function module specifies how the system should determine the end result quantity from the materials it determined for the product proposal.

Use

To form the final result for the product proposal, you can carry out the following operations with the materials that have been determined:

  • Add (A)
  • Remove, for example for excluded materials (B)
  • Check and compare, for example for listed materials (C)
  • Mix externally (D)
    This indicator is designed for when you want to use operations or calculation rules to determine the end result but indicators A, B, and C do not meet your requirements. You have to save the operations for mixing the result in the function module itself. If you then choose indicator D, the end quantity determined at this point is transferred to the specified function module, where the system then runs the operations stored there. The final result is then used as the product proposal.

Example

The following table illustrates how the activity indicators work when determining a product proposal: 

Activity      Result of         Result of             Result after
