Hi,
Once you have opened the query in the bex query designer,
follow these steps :
1. Go to the desired infoobject for which you want to create a variable.
2. For the particular infoobject you would find a sub folder which is characteristic value variables.
3. Right click and say New Variable
4. Double click on that variable and give a technical name to the variable according to the requirement.
5. Select the type of variable i.e. Default, Replacement path, Customer Exit or authorization.
Depending on the type of variable selected you can fill in the other tabs.
-> Default value would be used for user input and you can use the details tab.
-> Replacement path is used when you want to refer some other variable or query and you can use
the replacement path tab.
-> Customer exit is used when you have created a customer exit and you want to use it to fulfill your requirement
-> Authorization variable is used to provide security to users at the query level.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
