Which of the following is a characteristic of decision table processing as used in BRF+ output management?

Question

Options

• AEvery table row is processed in sequence. In each row, every condition column cell isprocessed
• BIt is possible to evaluate the content of condition column cells by using comparison operators or
• CIt is possible to maintain multiple condition column cells, but only one result column cell for each
• DEvery condition column is processed in sequence. In each condition column, every row is

• A
  16% (4)
• B
  8% (2)
• C
  72% (18)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

Option C correctly describes a fundamental structural rule of BRF+ decision tables used in output management: a decision table row may contain multiple condition column cells (to evaluate various input parameters like document type, company code, sales org, etc.), but it yields only one result column cell per row - the single determined output. This "many conditions, one result" structure is by design, ensuring each rule fires a discrete, unambiguous output.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is incorrect because BRF+ uses first-hit processing - once a row's conditions all match, evaluation stops. Not every row is processed in full sequence.
• B is partially misleading (and appears truncated); while BRF+ condition cells do support operators, the implication that any comparison operator can be freely applied is not a defining characteristic that distinguishes decision table processing.
• D is incorrect because processing is row-by-row, not column-by-column. The engine evaluates all conditions within a single row together, not by iterating down each column across all rows.

Memory tip: Picture a decision table as a filter funnel - many inputs (conditions) pour in from the left, but only one output flows out the right. "Many conditions in, one result out" = Option C.
