SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Open "Manage Substitution and Validation Rules" application.
2. Create a new Substitution/Validation rule
3. Attempt to configure the Precondition rule with an OR operator.
4. Observe that the "OR" logic is not applied as expected.

The logic of the "OR" operator and "AND" operator is triggered as follows:

All lines of conditions are implicitly connected by a logical AND.

However, unless the left column (Field/Function) of several EQUAL comparisons is identical. In this case these lines are connected by an OR.

Ensure that the Field/Function in the left column is identical.

For example: 

Choose "Show Script", the OR operator is triggered as CompanyCode field left column is identical, while other fields like Company Code Currency, and Fiscal are connected by the "AND".

The function in the left column of Precondition must also have the same parameters and values to trigger the "OR" operator.

Choose "Show Script" to confirm the logic.
