There are different ways of handling required products in the Web Portal. Configuration parameter settings are carried out in Web Designer.
Table 4: Configuration parameter for required products
| VI_ITShop_AllowRequestWithMissingDependencies |
If the configuration parameter is set, a request can be sent even though the required product cannot be requested due to an existing assignment. |
"VI_ITShop_AllowRequestWithMissingDependencies" is not set by default. This means a request cannot be sent if the required product cannot be requested.

- Open the Web Designer.
- Open a module and search for "VI_ITShop_AllowRequestWithMissingDependencies".
- Mark "VI_ITShop_AllowRequestWithMissingDependencies".
