Article (Material) Class, subclass, sub department in SAP IS retail?

Hi All,
In SAP how to find the Article (Material) Class, subclass, sub department in SAP IS retail?
The sub-class is MARA-MAKTL, but I am not able to search article class & sub department in some tables?
Regards..

Hi Sune
The thread you are refering to is quite old, there is a solution available now for doing retail master data governance on SAP MDG. This is offered as a consulting solution now.
The data model itself is modelled after the IS Retail data model for Article master and would leverage on the data governance capabilites offered by the MDG framework.
It is not exactly a supplier portal for data exchange but there have been architecture discussions on using a 'lean' version of the data model as a vendor facing portal and seperating this from internal facing MDG for enriching the ERP specific parts of the article master data , before governing and commiting to the ERP system.
If you are interested in talking more about it would be happy to do so.
Regards
Dilip

Is there a transaction to delete an article (Material Number) from SAP?

Hello SAPients!
Does anybody know: Is there a transaction (or FM) to delete an article (material number from SAP ?
Thanks!

You can only flag the material for deletion. You do this via MM02, or you can do it via BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA. THe material can only be fully deleted when the archive process has been ran for the object.

CLFMAS: Change only 1 caracteristic in a non-local material class

I try to modify a material's classification with CLFMAS.
I would like to change only one characteristic. The others ones must keep their old values.
CLFMAS erases everything, and I just have the new value of the caracteric I would change.
I use a non-local class.
Thanks in advance for your help.

We have the same issue just come up last night. A test on one class last week yielded the 2 record change history model (old value deleted, new value created). Applying the same change to a different material class, we get only the single record model - no help or oss notes seem to mention that there are two different change history models in SAP.
CHECK THIS -- check your single record change log in table CDPOS ... you may have values in both value_old and value_new fields there. The 2 record model stores value_old on the "deleted" record and value_new field value on the "created" record.
That still does not answer why there are two models and how one controls which model is implemented for change history on a class/characteristic ... but it sheds just a little more light on it.

Change Documents for Material Class

Hi,
I activated the change logging for a specific Material Class. However, when I check the change log, there is a material class which will show the characteristic change in the following format. For example I modified characteristic ABCDEF from 1 to 2. The log will show the following:
Document Number 099999
ABCDEF - 1       Deleted
ABCDEF - 2       Created
There are other class types/characterisitcs whose change logging is also activated but the change log will only show the "Created" part. The old value (before change) is not shown.
Document Number 088888
ABCDEF - 2       Created
How do I turn on the logging in such a way that the deleted value (old value) will always be shown in the log ?
Thanks

Transfer of Material Class characteristics into Batch

Hello,
Is there a way to transfer the material specific class characteristics ( maintained in material class 001) into Batch, while creating a new batch?
For e.g. for Material A, i have Material Class Characteristic = COLOR, with a value RED.
So if i create a new Batch for Material A, the COLOR characteristic in Batch should get defaulted to RED, instead of manually entering.
Pl let us know, if this is possible.
Regards,
Mangesh
P.S: I know there is Default check at the characteristic value level, but that doesn't help, as each material will have different value.

Dear,
You can use function module exit EXIT_SAPLV01Z_014 SAP enhancement SAPLV1ZN when assigning characteristic values to batches with EXTENDED_CLASSIFYING parameter. You use this to classify user-defined characteristics in the background when creating a new batch using the central function module VB_CREATE_BATCH during activated batch classification.
Refer IMG>Batch Mngmt>Characteristics Value Assignment>...using function module
Please try and come back.

SAP MDG and article master in SAP IS-Retail

We need a solution, where external vendors can contribute with article information, the master data persons can enrich the vendor information, and where the articles can be created appropriately afterwards in SAP ERP.
SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) seems to be the right solution for standard SAP. And SAP MDG has also been described in enhancement packages for SAP Retail since at least ECC 6.05, Nevertless previous discussions such has MDG-Material and IS-Retail indicate that SAP MDG is not appropriate for SAP Retail.
Please contribute with your considerations and experiences: Is MDG appropriate for article master data maintenance in SAP Retail?

Migrated material class data

Hi,
I will be migrating material master data using LSMW IDOC.
I also want to migrated associated material class data.
The question is:
How do I extract the material class data so that I can load them with LSMW IDOC CLFMAS after the materials are loaded ?
Regards,
Mariappan

Hi,
If it is 1:1 transfer for source SAP system to target SAP sytem ( without data modification ) you to establish the ALE interface and distriute by using the prg: RBDSECLF
If it is a transfer of CLF data between 2 SAP systems where you need to modify the data based on some rules after you extract the data from the source system, you could extrace the data from Legacy by BAPI: BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL. Once you extract the data, you could process as per the reqmt, & load the data by LSMW either by DI or by IDoc method.
Thanks,

How to restrict Material Class in Sales Contract Doc

Hi,
I need to restrict Material Class in Sales order based on Item catagory, Material group4 and Sales contract Document type.
If the above 3 fields having a particular value then the system should restrict all the other classes of that material and display only a particular class and it's related characteristics.
If any one come across such a senario then pklease let me know.
Regards
Ajay

Hi,
You have to make few configuration settings before you actually restrict at the object level. The solution is clearly discussed in the below thread:

Material Class 001 - Characteristics not comming at the time of GR

Hello,
I am trying to use material class 001 in material.
I have created Characteristics and assigned to Class (001) and have attached this class to Material.
But when I do Goods Receipt of PO, I do not see any tab with classifications.
I have also tried activating batch (as some say that I have to activate batch to get the characteristics at the time of GR) but this does not help.
Please let me know, how can I get the characteristics to get populated at the time of GR.
Regards

Prabjhot,
I have a group of materials "Bicycles". Within this group, there are 5 material numbers, BIKE1, BIKE2, BIKE3, BIKE4, BIKE5. Each one of these is sold as a separate item to the customers.
Now, my customer service group is having a hard time entering orders. They can never remember which one contains which combinations of colors and Derailleurs.
I create a class 001 BICYCLES and assign two characteristics, "COLOR" "DERAILLEUR". Possible color values are "RED", "BLUE", "SILVER". Possible DERAILLEUR values are "10SPEED" and "12SPEED". I then assign the materials to the class, and enter values for each of the 5 material numbers.
Now, when Customer service wants to find out which MATERIAL to enter into their sales orders, they can look up all the MATERIAL numbers that have specific MATERIAL based characteristics: Blue/10 speed; Red/12 speed, etc etc.
Later on, my Quality manager approaches me. For one material BIKE1, which is a Blue/10speed, I have 3 different factories where I build them. The resultant bikes are virtually identical from each factory. However, the manufacturing methods in each factory are different. My Quality manager wants to determine accurately the source of each manufactured bicycle, so that he can track warranty liability and issue recalls if necessary.
I create a BATCH class type 022 and assign 2 characteristics "MAN_PLANT" and "YEAR" I create several batches: "PARIS2010", "ROME2010", "LONDON2010": In the batches I assign the appropriate values: MAN_PLANT "PARIS", in another "ROME", and another "LONDON"; in all three I enter the value for year as "2010", I activate Batch management.
Now when I complete my Production orders, the three plants each receive their production into stock, but now they must enter a batch. The batches they enter upon receipt identify the manufacturing plant and year of manufacture. In my central warehouse, I now have BIKE1 stocked and sold under 3 batches: PARIS, ROME, LONDON. My quality manager is pleased.
I am rewarded with more work.
Best Regards,
