Purpose

This section explains how to define commodity rules, which are needed to create table detail-based commodity codes. With these rules you define the properties, structure, and layout of commodity codes.

Exercise

  1. Open the S.10.01 Commodity Rules screen from the Smart Reference Data > S.10 Commodity Group and Parts menu branch.

  2. Enter P_NRA_FITT in the Rule field in the first (Commodity Rules) block, or select it from the LOV using the List of Values down arrow button.

    CR1

  3. Click the Run Query question mark button to display the selected rule with its details.

    CR2

  4. Click into the Tablename field on the Commodity Attributes tab.

  5. Define the properties of a commodity code built with this rule, by selecting commodity attribute tables from the LOV using the List of Values down arrow button.

  6. Click the Next Block side arrow button to open Window 2, where you can define the commodity keys.

    CR3

  7. Enter a number in the Digit Id field, starting with 1 for the first digit of the commodity code.

  8. Click into the Tablename field and open the LOV using the List of Values down arrow button. The LOV shows the tablenames assigned to the rule on Window 1 plus the commodity groups and parts table. Select the appropriate value, starting with M_COMMODITY_GROUPS for the first digit.

    CR4

    The value defined in the Ins Char field will be used to create the commodity code when the related property value is not selected.

  9. Click the Next Block side arrow button to open Window 3, where you can define the commodity layouts.

  10. Use the LOV to select a value to fill in. The available text includes:

    • properties (commodity attributes)

    • attributes

    • particular values like commodity code, commodity group, part, and so forth.

      These values are filled in the layout definition field with an ending _short or _long identifying the short description or description value of the corresponding table, and enclosed with # characters to indicate it as a variable.

      CR5

      Key in manually fixed text like ‘End Preparation:’

      Use the CTRL+TAB keys to create tabulated text.

  11. Close the screen by selecting File > Close All from the main menu.
