Navigation: Production > Variant production > Variant generator: Variables No contents entries on this page Contents Variables are pre-definitions (templates) of a time calculation through formulas and tables. The numeric or alphabetic assignment of variables can be:
- calculated in a formula
- read in a parameter list
- read in a table
- read from item, order line or order header
- determined from a freely definable origin type
Define the formulas and tables you want to use under the Variablesmenu option. The texts for designation and unit of quantity are adopted when entering a variable name. However, you can also choose to describe the variables later in the actual formula or table.
Variable name
Unit of M. Text for storing a unit of quantity, e.g.: piece, meter or minutes, without any other information
Field Meaning Variable Master name or key used to access the variable. Note the following here:
- Variable names can be up to 20 digits long
- Variables must begin with at least one letter
- only the underscore '_' may be used as separator symbol
- The number of variables is not limited
- math symbols may not be used in variable names Description Arbitrary Matchcode Free text Type Numeric or alphanumeric (characters) Dec For numeric: Number of decimal places
Number formats or number of decimal places are now adopted from the SAP Business One settings.
help-achtungWarning: In beas numbers are always formatted according to the Windows settings (Control Panel β Regional Settings), since all beas fields are input fields conforming to Windows. Unit Unit of quantity as information such as piece, mm, etc. Type of origin Origin of the variable (How is the variable calculated?) - see Types of origin/Types Origin name Details about the type of origin (e.g. for table -> name of table) Change Should the variable be entered or changed after calculation? Selection Should a selection list be available? If so, it can be defined here. Link Make available a selection list? Select link Validity Validity and visibility: local: only within the formula and sub-tables and formulas called by it shared: within the assembly for all following positions, but not for sub-assemblies global: from the moment of computation visible in complete structure Operation Mark, to save the variable globally with prefix "agbez_". Then it can be accessed in a description of an operation.
Example: Local variable duration, "Operation" enabled Is saved al grlobal variable "agbez_duration" and can be added to the description <v:agbez_duration>
