QM_Class Characteristic

Dear QM Experts,
Can anybody tell me about Class characteristics? Its exact use, its step by step procedure to work out.
I followed following steps up till now. But can not understand how exactly the inspection results get transferred to batch class and how they appear when someone displays that batch.
Steps Followed,
u2022     Creation of class Characteristic (CT04)
u2022     Creation of Batch Class (CL01)
u2022     Assignment of above created classed characteristic to the Batch Class at the time of class creation. (CL01)
u2022     Assignment of batch class to material master in classification view. (MM01)
u2022     Creation of MIC with reference to above created Class characteristic (QS21)
u2022     Creation of inspection plan with above MIC (QP01)
u2022     Creation of new batch (external numbering) for the material (MSC1N)
u2022     Creation of manual lot for 89 lot origin (QA01)
u2022      Result recording and usage decision (QA32)
Queries,
1.     After this where these results get reflected? I checked in MSC3N. Unfortunately I could not find anything.
2.     Am I missing something in above procedure?
3.     Anything special that should be considered at the time of batch creation?
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Anand Rao

Inspection results are only transferred to the batch record under the following scenarios:
In all cases, the mics must be created with reference to the general characteristics (which you indicate you did)
1) As stated in a previous reply, you can set the config setting in the plant settings. "batch valuation w/o material specification." This should be checked on.
2) You maintain a material specification and in the material master you select "inspect with material spec". (You might have this checked in addition to "inspect with task list".) You can not unlock the characteristic in the inspection plan in this case. The specs come from the batch. If you break the link, the values do not transfer. (unless the above config setting was set).
In both case you maintain the 023 (or 022) batch class for the material.
Keep in mind values are only transferred to the batch when an inspection point is valuated or a UD is made.
Hope this helps.

Error while creating a Characteristic Variable with Replacement Path

Hi all,
    I am trying to create the Characteristic Variable ZVLOWDT (Low Date') with Replacement Path on characteristic ZSTARTDT (Start Date) and it gives the error 'Source to replace 'Low Date' is not defined.
   I have created a User Entry Variable VAR_DATE (Start Date) with interval like '01/01/2009 - 01/15/2009' and Customer Exit variable ZVCPDAY (does some calculation based on the input of VAR_DATE) on the same ZSTARTDT characteristic. I want to get the 01/01/2009 (lower range date of the selection) into this Characteristic Variable ZVLOWDT. We are in BI 7.0 and the following are it's properties:
General Tab:
Description: Low Date
Technical Name: ZVLOWDT
Type of Variable: Characteristic Value
Processing by: Replacement Path
Reference Characteristic: ZSTARTDT Start Date
Details Tab:
Variable Represents : Single value
Variable is: Mandatory
Variable is Ready for Input : unchecked
Replacement Path Tab: Replacement Rule
Replace Variable with : Variable
Variable : VAR_DATE
Replace with : KEY
Why I am getting this error, PLEASE ?
Thanks,
Venkat.

Hi Khaja,
   We could derive a Variable value from another Variable with out Customer Exit. There is a white paper.
First have the User Entry Variable (ZV_X) and it accepts the date range like '01/01/2009 - 01/31/2009'. Next create the Characteristic variable (ZV_Y) of Replacement Path for which source variable will be ZV_X and we could get the 'FROM Date' (01/01/2009) from the selection (ZV_X) into it (ZV_Y).
While creating the Characteristic variable (ZV_Y) of Replacement Path, I didn't find my newly created ZV_X variable in the list of available variables under 'Variable' header in 'Replacement Path' tab and it is causing the error 'Source to replace variable ZV_Y is not defined'. How could I create the Characteristic variable of Replacement Path, PLEASE ?
Thanks,
Venkat.

If statement in calculated batch characteristic (dependencies)

I have a little problem with calculating a certain batch characteristic.
The situation is the following:
I have batch char A, batch char B and batch char C. Batch char C is the result of the sommation of char A and B. The problem I have now is that batch char C only should be calculated when batch char A and B are different from 0.
I have a custom build interface that imports QM data to the batch chars. Default, all my batch chars are set to 0 so if I just say $self.charC = $self.charA + $self.charB, I always get a value.
Is it possible to some sort of IF statement to check if the value is different from 0?

Dear,
You need to try with variant table
take all the combination and enter in a variant table and see the result...it works
example
A     B      C
0      0      space
0      1      sapce
1      1      space
I hope you got it

Characteristic Relationship BI-IP

Hi,
I am trying to create the following characteristic relationship on real time planning cube.
Within the realtime cube I have 0fiscper and 0fiscvarnt being populated.
I also want to calculate 0calquarter and 0halfyear1.
For this I have created a DSO which has 0fiscper and 0fiscvarnt as the key and 0calquarter and 0halfyear1 as the data fields. I am populating 0fiscper and 0fiscvarnt during the upload and calculating 0calquarter and 0halfyear1 via a routine.
I am now trying to create the characteristic relationship, but when I enter the DSO technical name, I get the following error message:
DataStore object '....' does not have a data field from the InfoProvider; this object is invalid here.
Any ideas why this happening, all the fields in the DSO exist in the realtime cube.
Thanks
DJL

Hi
For time characteristics, there are standard characteristic relationships.. dont see why need to create them.
if it is for fiscvarnt-fiscper combination: guess no need for other things.
Also if u r specifying DSO name in planning modeler, I guess u can look up the DSO thru F4 help.

Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs is taking long time

Hi Experts,
Cube load is taking more than 7 hrs to complete for 6 million records. Max time is at Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs. Cube consists of 500 fields. Load is from DSO to Cube. DSO has 10 fileds with no SID flag check for activation. Remaining fields in the CUBE are pouplated looking in to other DSO's. Start and End routines are executing very fast. How to fasten Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs step. I need to load 15 million records daily as part of delta. any suggestions.
Thanks

Error while deleting values of characteristic /1FB/COMPANY/Company (RFC des

Dear all,
I am trying to synchronize Company master data between local BCS system and SAP BW with UGMD_BATCH_SYNC program. In the synchronization mode, Full Synschronization (Write and Delete) was selected.
However, I receive the following error message when executing the program:
Error while deleting values of characteristic /1FB/COMPANY/Company (RFC destination )
Message no. UGMD077
Diagnosis
When writing or deleting values of characteristic /1FB/COMPANY/Company errors occurred in the system with RFC destination . As the changes have already been defined in the local storage location this results in the master data being asynchronous between the local and remote storage location.
System Response
Processing is continued.
Procedure
Carry out a manual synchronization of the master data later using report UGMD_BATCH_SYNC. You can find additional information there under Application Help.
FYI, RFC Destination for my data basis is left blank.
What may causes this error and how to resolve it?
Thank you.

Hi MontyBurns,
May I know what settings that I need to check in UGMDSYNC program? As far as I can tell, there is only one parameter that we need to specify in the program i.e. Field Name. As I am trying to synchronize from BCS to BW, I have chosen the followings settings:
Source = LOCAL
Target = ALLBW
All,
Interesting thing that I notice after executing the UGMDSYNC program is the following message:
Synchronize/Display Variances Between Systems
     The compound dependencies for the attributes or texts are not defined
     uniformly in the systems investigated.
     Example:
     Texts are defined as language-specific in the local systems and as
     language-independent in remote systems (for example BW systems). The
     same can apply for other compounds such as version or time dependencies.
System Response
     The display of differences between the systems will be affected. A
     manual synchronization will not be completely successful.
Procedure
     1. Ensure that the dependencies for the attributes and texts are the
         same in all systems.
     2. Start the synchronization process again.
Procedure for System Administration
I can check the attributes and texts in BW via RSD1 by specifying InfoObject = 0COMPANY and checking the Master data/texts and Attribute tabs. But how do I check similar settings in BCS Workbench? I can't determine whether the Company text is language-dependent or not simply by displaying specific Company from Process View > Master Data > Consolidation Units > Company.
Thanks.

Need to determine data type of free characteristic in multiprovider

Hi,
I need to determine the data type (e.g. numeric vs alpha numberic) of a free characteristic in a multiprovider. Can this be accomplished in BEx Query Designer?
If not, can it be accomplished in RSA1? How?
Thanks,
Kevin

its not possible via Query designer..
give that object name if it is infoobject then you can get via RSD1

Displaying Material Characteristic data in MD04

Hi there,
I have a requirement to display Material Characteristic information in the "Additional Data" tab for a given material in transaction MD04. (Screen 100 of Function Group M61K in se80)
What is the best approach to doing this? Can this be configured (without programming), or if not, is it possible to use a BADI such as
MD_ADD_COL_EZPS to achieve this? (from looking in forum, this appears to be an option)
Will I need to modify the screen? - hoping to achieve this without modification...
Any responses are appreciated.
Thanks,
David.

Explore the methods ACTIVATE_ADD_COLUMNS and FILL_ADD_COLUMNS of this BADI.
Example: This code adds a button on tool bar of MD04 and when clicked populates delivery column
Method - ACTIVATE_ADD_COLUMNS
button1_ez = "DELIVERY".
ez1_mode = '2'.
Method - FILL_ADD_COLUMNS
Populate the column
DATA: lv_column1    TYPE mdez-usex1,
        lv_ebeln      TYPE ekbe-ebeln,
        lv_ebelp      TYPE ekbe-ebelp.
Get Delivery Doc# for corresponding PO/STO
lv_ebeln = ie3mdpslx-delnr.
lv_ebelp = ie3mdpslx-delps.
SELECT SINGLE belnr
         FROM ekbe
         INTO lv_column1
         WHERE ebeln = ie3mdpslx-delnr
         AND   ebelp = ie3mdpslx-delps.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    MOVE lv_column1 TO emdezx_usex1.
ENDIF.

0FISCPER text variable "External Characteristic Value Key" has changed

Hello!
Could somebody help and tell, why in BI7.0 version (but 3.x RRMX version) the format of the 0FISCPER text variable (also other time characteristics) has changed from 001.2007 (version 3.x) to 0/1 .0700 (version 7.0)?
I cannot understand the logic of the new Exterternal characteristic calue key. What can I do about it?
Thanks for your help, gurus!
BR, Auli Peltola

I figured out myself the reason for the problem: in the new version the fiscal year variant has to be defined in report so that the 0FISCPER would work.

Automatic calculation for batch characteristic

Conversion factor is a batch characteristic which is to be calculated based on the other batch characteristics values entered by the user at the time of confirmation.
I have maintained the objectdependency in the batch class (023). The dependency type maintained is "Procedure". The batch class is assigned to material master. The formula is as follows
$self.conversionfactor=((($self.actthickness-0.067)*$self.density)
($self.paintgsm$self.metalgsm))*$self.width/1000
The formula is appearing in 2 lines in the dependency editor. There is no syntax error. As well as the dependency status is also "released".
But at the time of confirmation, if the values of the other characteristics are entered, no calculation for the characteristic conversion factor is done by the system.
Can anybody please guide on this???
Regards,
Manish

thanks a lot

Linking MIC & Batch characteristic

Hey All
My understanding is that to move values from batch characteristic to MIC we need to maintain the link in MIC and this relationship is one to one relationship.
We have a business requirement as below. I do 2 types of testing i.e. official & vendor. First i do vendor testing and this will be reflected in the batch. After this i do official testing and this needs to overwrite the vendor results and update the batch automatically.
If i have to use the batch characteristic + MIC link, then i need to create 2 batch characteristics & 2 MIC's / test i perform on the material.
Is there a way by which i can have multiple link between batch characteristic & MIC and manage this link via some user exit or
do you have some suggestions on how to handle this business requirement?
Regards
TOM

You only need one inspection characteristic.
You don't indicate in your process how or when these two types of inspection happen.
You can create a source inspection lot with the tests the you use to record the vendor results on.
Then when you receive the material, you have an 01 inspection lot created for recording your actual results.
The second set UD on the 01 lot will over write the batch record results from the first source inspection.
If you have one inspection lot that is created at goods receipt, use two operations. Operation 10 has the vendor tests. Operation 20 has the in-house testing. When the UD is made the test results from the last operation will be written to the batch record.

Get batch characteristic value

Hi Experts,
I need to get the characteristic value of a batch if I provide with batch number and characteristic name as parameters.
Is there any standard function module for this?
Regards
Thanks in advance

Dear,
BAPI_CLASS_SELECT_OBJECTS gets objects for a class. If you want to retrieve the characteristics, try using BAPI_CLASS_GET_CHARACTERISTICS.
or check FM CLFM_SELECT_AUSP
