Changing a characteristics value in SEM BPS
I am working on SEM BPS (upfx exit function) and I am trying to change a characteristics value, but am not allowed. I have included them in fields to be changed. Are there any steps to be performed or something?

In order to change characteristic values you can either use standard BPS functions or use exit functions. From the standard functions you can use, for example Repost function, you can change the characteristic value of a dataset i.e. you can change the version of plan from 100 to 200. In order to do this you have to define version as the characteristic to be changed and define from values and to values for version. On the other hand, if you want to use exit function, you have to select condition characteristics and fields to be changed and you can write FOX code (or ABAP function module) based on the change logic you want to employ in the function. You can find detailed information about FOX (Formula Extension) in SAP help.
