Definition

Indicator: Condition characteristic

Use

A condition is an element of a planning function. It determines the data-dependent application of parameter values. It consists of a selection table of characteristics that are marked as condition characteristics in characteristic usage.

Each condition has a record of parameter values (see Planning Function Type). When the system processes transaction data at the time of execution, it uses the selection tables to check which parameter record to apply.

Because transaction data is grouped by DS:DE.RSPLF_IS_BLOCK_CHAR>block characteristics, this check is only performed once for each block of data. As long as the combination of properties for the condition characteristics is contained in the selection table, the condition is filled and the execution methods are called with the corresponding parameter record.

The system checks the conditions in sequential order and applies the first appropriate condition.

Dependencies

A characteristic that is to be changed cannot be a condition characteristic.

Example

You want to execute a planning function of type "Revaluation" where the revaluation factor is determined by characteristic Version . In characteristic usage you select characteristic Version as a condition characteristic. For each property of Version 01, 02, 03 and so on, you create a condition that is restricted to this property only and contains an individual revaluation factor.
