Process documentationTables in Preconditions  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Purpose

You can use table calls in preconditions to perform the following functions:

Note 

Value assignment alternatives are not relevant to preconditions, because preconditions are not used to infer values.

If you call a table in a precondition, the system only shows the values that are allowed according to the value combinations in the table.

Process Flow

  1. Choose Tools ® Table structure ® Create and create table EXTRAS. Assign characteristics MODEL and EXTRAS to the table.

    2. The table is for a precondition, so do not enter any value assignment alternatives.

  2. Choose Tools ® Table entries and enter the following combinations of values:

    3. Table EXTRAS

    MODEL

    Extras

    JOURNEY

    Stand

    CITY

    Basket

    COUNTRY

    Mudguard

     
  3. Enter preconditions for the values of characteristic EXTRAS:

    4. PRE_STAND

    Table Extras

    (Model = Model, Extras = 'Stand')

    PRE_BASKET

    Table Extras

    (Model = Model, Extras = 'Basket')

    PRE_MUDGUARD

    Table Extras

    (Model = Model, Extras = 'Mudguard')
  4. Assign this precondition to characteristic EXTRAS. The values for EXTRAS are now only displayed for the appropriate models.

Note

If you create one precondition instead of 3, and do not enter the 3 values explicitly, the system does not check whether the value is correct until you press ENTER during value assignment.

Table Extras

(Model = Model, Extras = Extras)
