Use of multiple value groups per control group / Activation

Within a control group and its activation several value groups can be used/assigned for each dependency. This prevents possible redundancies in value groups, in case different value groups are required for several control groups having redundant fields/values.

It is therefor possible to define a value group with general values for all plants or a plant group as well as value groups with different dependencies (e.g. data only dependent on procurement type and plant specific data such as plant key (MARC- WERKS).It may be possible, the main part of the values to be set will be defined in one general value group.

For the use of several value groups for each dependency the same general rules for value groups are valid. (See also Grouping of Dependent Values:

The used grouping shall be identical for all value groups.
The used run number shall be identical in all value groups for the same field to be set.

Hence in this case, a field to be set (e.g. PERKZ) may exist in both value groups.

Meaning

1

In case of a manual change of the procurement type from X to E or F in plant 2000 for material type FERT and laboratory 001, ProMaterialData will create/expand the plant views depending on the new procurement type.
Values from two value groups will be used, whereas most of the values to be send are defined in a general value 2xxx_F_FERT, which are valid for all plants 2*. Value group 2000_E_FERT_L001 includes only specific values, which are to be set in case of laboratory 001.

2

In case of a manual change of the procurement type from X to E or F in plant 2000 for material type FERT and laboratory 002, ProMaterialData will create/expand the plant views depending on the new procurement type.
Values from two value groups will be used, whereas most of the values to be send are defined in a general value 2xxx_F_FERT, which are valid for all plants 2*. Value group 2000_E_FERT_L002 includes only specific values, which are to be set in case of laboratory 002.
