Object dependencies

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

Regarding object dependencies i am facing one problem. My requirement is i have created one class of

type 300(variant) and inside of that class defined two characteristics one is car family and another one

car model. And under car family characteristic i have defined the values 'A' and 'B' and under car model

characteristic i have defined the values '1', '2', '3', '4' ('1' and '2' are models related to family A and '3' is the model related to family B). My requirement is while creating material i will choose the class which i created and in the classification view then two characteristics will appear one is family and another one is model. And first i will press the F4 button on family characteristic and it is showing the values 'A' and 'B'. And when i click F4 on model characteristic it is showing all the entries which i defined like '1', '2', '3', '4'. But i want to restrict the entries as per model here only '1' and '2' are related to family 'A' so while choosing F4 i want to allow only two models.

For this i have created dependency net and attached to configure material '100' and i am using the same

material for testing. The below code i have written in the dependency editor.

OBJECTS : ZTEST IS_A (300) ZTEST where A = ZTEST_FAMILY; B = ZTEST_MODEL

RESTRICTIONS:

B IN ( '1', '2' ) IF A = 'A',

B = '3' IF A = 'B'

INFERENCES:

B

In above ZTEST is the class i have defined, ZTEST_FAMILY and ZTEST_MODEL are the characteristics

for family and model.

Please let me know where is the problem? Any thanks will be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Forget the Constraint, just use a Precondition on the Model-values 1 and 2

$Self.Model_Family = 'A'

Same thing for values 3 and 4 ... Model_Family = 'B'

A lot simpler and easier to trace for debuggin

Hi Hooper,

Thanks for your reply, but i have used precondition is already at characteristic level but it's not working. One more doubt you mentioned $self.model_family but it should be $self.ztest_family, please correct me if i am wrong, In ct04 for characteristic ztest_model already i have tried this option, but its not working. How can i debug?

Thanks a lot.
