Help needed in SD VC Assigning Object Dep. for all values at the 1 time

Question

Dear, Gurus
I am successful in achieving pricing in VC the long way example: If Characteristic is Car_Color and values Blue, Red. I assign
$self.Z_CarPrice=u2019Redu2019 and it works. Z_CarPrice is basically the variant condition linkage with tables SDCOM and VKOND.
My question is how can I achieve the above by assigning it to the header so that it automatically enters the code $self into all values without me having to go into it 1 by 1 and assigning the codes? Or what is the best way in achieving the results?
If I have 3 characteristics ex: Car_Model, Car_Color, Car_Size? 100's of values?     4th characteristic is Z_CarPrice inside this I have entered all the Values from the 3 characteristics.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Try these steps and hope will definitely resolve your issue
Create one variant table VT_BASE_PRICE with combinations of the char Z_COLOR,Z_MODEL and Z_SIZE as key fields
Table Structure
Z_Color               
Z_Model
Z_Size
Z_Car_Price
Table Contents    
Z_Color          Z_Model                         Z_Size          Z_Car_Price
RED          Honda          Big          BP_RED_HONDA_BIG
RED          Honda          Small          BP_RED_HONDA_SML
Maintain the table values with all possible combinations and for each combination enter a unique key under Z_car_Price column. Remember the variant key length Max is 26  and you can use any unique value which should give a meaning by looking at
Once maintained the table write a dependency
Table VT_BASE_PRICE
(Z_COLOR = Z_COLOR,
Z_MODEL = Z_MODEL,
Z_SIZE = Z_SIZE,
Z_CAR_PRICE = $self.Z_CAR_PRICE)
Thus for each combination no need to write the code to infer the variant key. It will automatically choose from table as per configuration values entered.For each variant key you need to maintain price in condition records for condition type.
