Substitution of variables in operation text

[former_member517]

Dear all,

I want to to substitute variables in operation texts by their values in the material classification. Example :

Cut &LENGTH& mm x &WIDTH& mm

with characteristics LENGTH = 150 and WIDTH = 120 (in material classification) should be

Cut 150 mm x 120 mm

I know that this is possible in PP-PI somehow. But I am in normal PP. Reading the characteristc values is not an issue and also I know how to substitute the variables in SapScript. But where is the right point to hook in this feature or is it part of the standard ?

Ideally the substitution should have taken place directly after reading the routing.

Hi,

Use variable item category in BOM. Enter all values of dimensions,max 3 fields, enter formula if it is not in standard.Enter conversion factor in material master.

Hi Suhas,

my example may have been misleading. The operation could also be "drill a hole by &DIM& mm", where DIM is a material characteristic and there are no components linked to the drilling operation.
