Automatic Sorting of Characteristics Values

Hi Gurus,
           I am getting a problem when dealing with Variant configuration. I am using a characteristics with format "CHAR" with multiple values/lines of free text. When I am entering the free text the lines/values gets sorted automatically. My requirement is that the text should be displayed in the sequence in which I am entering the different text/values. Please help.
eg. If my first line is xyz
               Second line is abc
               third line is jkl
then system automatilly sorts as
               first line is abc
               Second line is jkl
               third line is xyz
Regards,
Hemant.

Muneer,
Thanks for your reply. I had already checked what you suggested. If we press sort buttom (may be by mistake) then sorting takes place. But here I am for sure not pressing any sorting button. The data entered is in simple text . In business it is called the free text that the customer wants to be put on his product for eg. the address. This is expected to be in the form (or sequence) in which it is entered by the customer and no sorting should take place.
Hope I have further explained my question.
Thanks,
Hemant

Sorting of Characteristics Values

Hi Experts,
I have one issue.When i am giving the values to the characteristic (Data format is CHAR)in the equipment (after assigned the class to the equipment)it is sorting the values example-1,10,3,5 even if I give 1,3,5,10.The requirement is it should be like 1,3,5,10 (as we input).Because of the CHAR format the system is sorting the values like this.If it is NUM format it is showing 1,3,5,10.
Is there any way to stop the sorting of the values even if the data format is in CHAR?

No. For values there is no way to order them the way you want. SAP sorts them.

From which table characteristics value is been picked in Batch(023 class)

Hi gurus,
Could anyone helpme out of this problem
While creating migo ,batch no gets automatically assigned for the material when I click on the check button and then clicking the classification screen , characteristics value have to be given manually for the material that is to be receipt in migo.
Now My problem is I am creating a report where the material no along with the batch no and the characteristics value of the batch is required , but I cannot get the table name
I have tried with mcha,mch2,mch1 but here no characteristics value could be derived ,Table Cawn,cabn is there but how to link with other tables like mseg or MKPF.
In table AUSP characteristics value is picking but same problem how to link it with mseg or mkpf etc.
Guys please help me out of this.

Hi Merwyn,
I cannot find any common field between AUSP and MCH1 ,could you tell me the procedure to link these 2 tables.
Thanks N Regards

Hi,
Using AUSP table pick the object No. and link it with MCH1 to find the Batch No.
using the batch No. link to MSEG-CHARG

Where we maintain the cost of characteristics values in variant conf.

Hello guys,
This thread i have posted many times in sdn , but never got the satisfactory answer.This time again i am trying my luck.
    Actually i am unable to understand how costing takes place in variant configuration.
    Suppose i have created one sales order for configurable material and there we select all the characteristics values which we want.
But we don't maintain the prices of these characteristics values anywhere.So when i create the sales order than how the sales people calculate the cost of that order.
    Take a example of computer.For making computer,i want cabinet, processor, Harddisk, Ram, which are available in many sizes.So What we do that we create one configurable material and inside it we maintain all this characteristics and its values.And then i create one sales order for that configurable material and select the suitable characteristics and its values as reqd my customer.
     Now my question is how they cost that sales order?As we don't maintain the Accounting and costing view in material master of configurable material.
   So where to maintain the prices of these characteristics values?
        Plz guide.

Hi
You can make the price of a variant dependent on the characteristic values assigned (Pricing).You can use
variant conditions to define surcharges and discounts for a variant
Variant u2013Pricing steps
Create condition record
create a procedure where you enter the reference from the characteristic
Assign the procedures to either the characteristic values
configure the material in the sales order
The net price for the material is displayed
If a value that triggers a variant condition is selected when configuring a material in a sales order, the price of the material displayed under Net value is automatically increased or reduced.
In addition, the Conditions pushbutton is displayed.
On pressing this pushbutton,
One can see which conditions have
influenced the price.
I tried to list you as much detail as possible. Hope that you will be able to resolve your issue
Thanks

Picking or copying Characteristics Value from material master

Dear Experts,
Please i create five Characteristics which i assign to a Class ( of type 022 ). The Class is then assigned to materials in the classification View of the Material Master.
I want one of the five Characteristics to copy its values from specific parameter value maintaned in the Material Master.
Please assist on how to accomplish this?
I did the following but did not get the desired results; While creating this Characteristic, in the Values Tab, I filled ''MARC'' in the Tablename field & in the Fieldname field, i enter the technical fieldname of the particular field from table MARC which i want.
I want this particular value to be automatically copied into the Characteristics Value field in the Foreground for eacb batch anytime Goods Receipt is done.
after doing this, anytime Goods Receipt is done & a batch number generated, it takes me to the Classification screen, but this particular field which i desire to be auto updated remains blank.
Please assist ?

Hi,
1. This will not automatically updated just as we wil fill the addtional date table and field.
2. you need to write the object dependency to get it updated when you call somewhere
3. Generally in the batch level you will be able to do this .( even you can use function / object dependency )

Copying Batch Characteristics Value from Standard SAP Table Field

Dear Experts,
1. While creating a user-defined Batch Characteristics 'CREATED_BY' using ct04, on the Additional Data tab, I filled the following fields as follows: Table Name = MCHA, Field Name =ERNAM.
'CREATED_BY' was then assigned to a batch Class TRIMMED (of class type 022).
TRIMMED was assigned to a batch managed material ADE245DD.
After posting co15 (confirmation of production order) for material ADE245DD, the value in table MCHA & field ERNAM is automatically copied into the Batch Characteristics value field of u2018CREATED_BYu2019 for the generated batch.
2. But I am unable to achieve the same result when I create another Batch Characteristic with similar settings in the Additional Data tab as follows: Table Name = MARC, Field Name = DISPO.
After doing co15, the value stored in table MARC and field DISPO does not get copied into the Batch Characteristics value.
Please what do I need to do in Scenario 2 above to achieve the same result as in Scenario1?
Regards

Hi,
Table and field used in additional data table should be related to the object than only it will work, for e.g. MCHA and ERDAT will work if you create a characteristcis and assign it to class type Batch (022/023) because MCHA table has Batch no. as primary key,
this implies for using material specific table e.g. MARA , you should use characteristics with class type 001 (Material class) , try using with table MARC also

ADF treeTable automatic sort

I have a treeTable whose value I supply with my own ChildPropertyTreeModel. For the nodeStamp facet column sortable="true" and sortProperty="name". When the tree table first appears, the tree is not sorted and when I click the up or down triangles in the first column header, it does not sort at all. When I set the ChildPropertyTreeModel treeModel.setSortCriteria(criteria), where criteria is ArrayList of one SortCriterion("name", true), the treeModel is always sorted ascending even when I click the down triangle in the first column header.
Do I have to catch the up/down arrow event and modify my sort criterion myself, or is there a simple way to have the treeModel do it for me automcatically like a regular table does? If the former, how do I catch the event and determine the direction of the desired sort?
Thanks in advance.

As per - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12839_01/apirefs.1111/e12419/tagdoc/af_treeTable.html
Unlike the Table, the TreeTable does not support automatic sorting. The underlying TreeModel must support sorting by implementing it's sorting logic in the setSortCriteria(List criteria) method of the TreeModelOne of the ways you can do it is here - ADF Sortable TreeTable

Why doesn't Numbers automatically sort?

I have a slider on a table that updates numerical value in a cell which, in turn, automatically updates (via a calculation) a 2nd table on another sheet. I have a 3rd table (on a 3rd sheet) that is sorted by a value which is calculated partly with a value in the 2nd table. I'd like this 3rd table to automatically sort after I move that slider in cells on table 1. It doesn't!
Anyone know why? how?

If you want to sort that table automatically, you can do it in a fourth table or within Table 3. For the example below, I'm going to do it all in Table 3. It assumes you want to sort column B and there is another column, A, that needs to stay matched up with it. Personally, I'd do it in another table but it's less typing to give the example this way.
We will use Column D to sort column B. To sort the column of numbers smallest to largest, use the SMALL function.
D2=SMALL($B$2:$B$5,ROW()-1)
D3=SMALL($B$2:$B$5,ROW()-1)
D4=SMALL($B$2:$B$5,ROW()-1)
D5=SMALL($B$2:$B$5,ROW()-1)
To reorder Column A to match the newly sorted B column, use the LOOKUP function:
C2=LOOKUP(D2,$B$2:$B$5,$A$2:$A$5)
C3=LOOKUP(D3,$B$2:$B$5,$A$2:$A$5)
C4=LOOKUP(D4,$B$2:$B$5,$A$2:$A$5)
C5=LOOKUP(D5,$B$2:$B$5,$A$2:$A$5)
You can do the same LOOKUP to re-order any other columns.
EDIT: One major drawback in this is that the values in column B better be unique (i.e., no two alike). The sort of column B will go fine in any case but the matching up of the other columns will get hosed if B does not have uniques values. There may be a more robust way to do the matching besides LOOKUP.

How do I stop iTunes from automatically sorting by Album Artist? Driving me crazy.

How do I stop iTunes from automatically sorting by Album Artist? Driving me crazy.
I listen to primarily classical music
All of my music was very deliberatley titled by composers "Last Name, First Name" as the artist.
iTunes is changing it to the Album Artist. I have to go in and delete that information - AND THEN IT LATER REVERTS IT BACK!!!
Hours have been wasted and I am feeling so ticked.
Any help?

Purchased or ripped media?
If these are ripped mp3s then another possibility is multiple embedded tags. iTunes works best with a single ID3v2.3 tag. Some software creates both an ID3v1.0 and IDv2.x tag. With multiple tags it is not certain which iTunes reads or which it updates, and any device may choose differently. Once songs have the correct info. in iTunes you can use Convert ID3 Tags... None several times, then Convert ID3 Tags... v2.3. The process removes any embedded art but otherwise preserves the data that iTunes knows. You could use my script CreateFolderArt before and after to save and then restore the artwork.
In the long run you may be better off populating Album Artist properly with a copy of whatever is currently in Artist. My script CopyArtistToAlbumArtist can do this effectively.

How can I reduce the selection for the characteristics value in a BW query

Good morning,
I need to find out how I can reduce the selection for the characteristics values in a BW query.
In a BW query I have a characteristic "Due month".
The characteristic values shown in the query are from 01.2001->03.2007. I would like to reduce it to the last 2 years,in the query view, without deleting the data for the other years in the cube.
Do you know how this can be done?
Thank you in advance for your feedback.
Kind regards,
Linda Verding
Staff Consultant - CSC

hi,
First thing you have to do is check the report how the data is being restricted only to those months.
1) one it can be variable in which the code is written for that to populate for last few years.
or else it must have been hardcoded for these months.
Go into your report and underneath the characteristicsCALMONTH there must be an variable or hardcoding.
You need to change this here in the report.
You dont have to delete anything there.

How to find the list of material variant based on the characteristics value

Hi
We are creating materials variants for FERT Material Type in material master in MRP-3 view .There we configure the variant by attaching characteristics value
Now we want to have a report , which can give the list of material variants , if char value is given in selection
Can somebody guide me if there is standard report for this OR what is the linkage in Table , so that we can develop a report

I couldn't find a standard report to get the material variants based on characteristic values (the nearest I could find was CT12) but I wrote a report some time back here's the table join logic for the main select statement.

        e~atwrt
        h~atwtb
into table i_tab

I included bare minimum fields to suite your requirement needs you can add whatever other field you want . Though I tested the table join, I suggest you to test it again before writing your own ABAP program using SE16N.

How to sort the arry value in ascending order

the sorted order should be

You may have easier luck writing your own comparator for this. These are headings in a table of contents, right?
Write a comparator that tokenizes a string on the '.' character, or use a StringBuffer to remove them, and then order the elements according to the combined numbers. Since alphanumeric would order this list as you want it anyway you could just order that way once the '.' are removed.
In other words your comparator would do this in the "compare" method:
public class MyComparator implements Comparator, java.io.Serializable {
private static Comparator stringComparator = java.text.Collator.getInstance();
...constructor(s), your own private "instance" variable of type MyComparator, a getInstance() method of your own, yadda yadda...
public int compare(Object item1, Object item2) {
try {
value1 = removePeriods((String)item1);
value2 = removePeriods((String)item2);
if (value1 == null) {
return (value2 == null) ? 0 : (-1);
return compare(value1, value2);
} catch (ClassCastException cce) {
System.err.println("Wrong Object Type, JackAss!");
protected int compare(String str1, String str2) {
return MyComparator.stringComparator.compare(str1, str2);
private String removePeriods(String value) {
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(value);
int decimalIndex = value.indexOf('.');
while (decimalIndex != -1) {
sb.delete(decimalIndex, (decimalIndex + 1));
}

Transfer of characteristics values from material variant to its subordinate

Gurus
Need your Expert opinion on Variant configuration
We are using Multi level Material Variants and our bussiness process demands for configuration of These Material variants in Transaction MD81 and during creation of Sales order .These configuration will not affetc the BOM explosion but will only be passed to the The lower level components (Which are again theMulti level Configuriable Material variants ) as manufacturing instructions .To Enable these Flow of Characterisitcs we have Applied a Note which allows the Multi level Configuration of Material Variants and Pass this Values to lower Level and the characteristics value flow is visible as well for lower level from CU50 ,but when i create the requirement through CIR or sales order and Configure the Material Variants and Generate the Procurement Proposals to fullfill these requirements (MD02) in the form of Planned order we are unable to pass one the Characterisitcs values to planned orders of lower level Components of Material Variants .These characterisitc values are Used as Manufacturing Instructions and should be passed on to the Lower level of Material Variants through the use of dependencies in Configuration profile .but the problem is it works in CU50 and does not flow in planned orders , does any body have a solution for this ?
Thanks In Advance

Milind

Hi Milind,
I check that you implement a Note which allows the Multi level Configuration of Material Variants? is it sap note? mind to share the number.
I ever faced this problems to before but fortunately the case in simpler so i just create another variant and maintain the component for the variant. For example : characteristic color. I create variant with color red black etc. For variant red, maintain component red. For variant black maintain component black, so on. Is it possible for your case?
