CCM 2.0 - new characteristic

Hello everybody,
how can I add a characteristic in a CCM 2.0 supplier catalogue? I can't find a button to add or delete a charactaristic in web transaction.
I also tried to add an item while uploading a supplier catalogue with a CSV file. Here is the line:
Characteristic|ZTEST|/CCM/NAME|false|ZTEST
This also does not work. Although I don't get an error in SLG1 log, I can't find the characteristic when I display the supplier catalogue in webbrowser?
For us it is mandatory to add some specific fields for the suppliers in supplier catalogue.
Thanks for you help
AD

Hello AD,
Hope you already know that you can not modify supplier catalog in any way as it's interpretted as supplier content and designed so that it should not be modified.
You can modify the content in Master catalog or procurement catalog to which your this supplier catalog would be mapped wuth many otref catalog.
In master catalog you can find button for your custom charactristic.

Is it possible to add new characteristic to CCM catalog SRM_EXTRACTED_CTLG?

Hi Experts,
Any idea if I can transfer new extra data from the SRM product master into CCM? (via program BBP_CCM_TRANSFER_CATALOG)
So I want to add a new characteristic (e.g. ZVALUEPRICE) to the catalog SRM_EXTRACTED_CTLG and fill it with the valuation price.
According to BAdI BBP_CCM_CHAR_MAINT it should be possible:
"When you transfer SRM product data to SAP Catalog Content Management (SAP CCM), this BAdI enables you to also transfer additional item characteristics contained in the product master data in SAP Enterprise Buyer. These characteristics are then available in the SRM product catalog in SAP CCM."
But I'm getting errors like: "Value assigned to ZVALPRICE is not valid-locale NL/ is not possible".
Any idea how I should set this up? Or if I'm doing anything wrong?
I know the valuation price is also filled in /CCM/PRICE, but I want to map the content into a different field. And change the mapping of original created field is not possible.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Marius Hartman

Hi All,
Turns out that when we don't add a language code to the code, the problem is resolved. So currently I'm able to add the information to a new field in CCM catalog SRM_EXTRACTED_CTLG

How can i add a new characteristic to Sap standard InfoObject?

Hi Experts,
Please anyone let me know how can I add a new characteristic or a key figure into an SAP standard InfoObject in order to add it to the standard InfoCube? The situation is I would like to add region and business unit to the characteristics of the Industrial Hygiene and Safety. After that, I would like to add them to the InfoCube called Accidents: Person Involved [0EIH_C02] that is located in the MultiProvider called Accidents: Complete View [0EIH_MC01]. Is it feasible to do this way?
I just learned the BW/BI, so please help me with this. I would really appreciate your responses.
Thanks,

Hi Napadol,
To add a attribute in a char:
1) Go to info object/char in change mode and add the additional attribute you want and select navigational attribute in attribute tab if you want. (Create these additional attribute first in info object catalouge)
2) Activate the Object/Char
3) open info cube in change mode and pick the characteristic from left panel to info cube dimension.
4) Activate infocube.
5) Go to multi provider add the char in one of the dimension and do identification for this char and activate.

VC - new characteristic does not show in PS BOM explosion / CU50

Hello World,
we added a new Characteristic to a class that is basis for a Material BOM explosion. In transaction CU50, the new characteristic can be configured by selecting its single values and the result shows up correctly in the BOM explosion.
Unfortunately, it is does not show up in the BOM explosion result of the SAP PS module @ Network Activity where the explosion is done concerning to our biz process. All other characteristics explode properly in the PS BOM explosion. I have no clue about the difference of the newly added characteristic is that makes it behave differently (only) in the PS system, not showing up in the result.
In CU50 @ Menu Extras @ Result I found a trace of the difference, but cannot interpret it due to a lack of documentation of the resulting screen that is entitled "Configuration : Result". Here, in table "Detail List", only the faulty new characteristics show additional extra Dependency entries with a light green background that cannot be found with all other characteristics in the same table. These extra entries can be drilled down by double-click and produce a pop-up window that shows some status information and the dependencies source code.
Question: what do the extra entries of dependencies say, why are they shown and why not at other characteristics?
By understanding this difference I hope to find the reason why these characteristics are not exploded in the PS module (which is my primary question).
Thank you for a helpful answer!
Marcus

Hi Jong - Moon cho,
Please check following setting,
1.Consider setting the Individual/Collective indicator to 2. (MRP 4 view)
2.In order to get dependent requirements from the planning of configurable materials, components should not be configured with strategy group 70 or 59.

Hi Emily,
Pls check the SAP Note 111232 which gives similar solution that of you are looking for...
Follow the procedure...
Please create a characteristic by transferring it from table VBRP and
then change the automatically from system defined TKEZU entries like
the note 111232 explains.
The way to solve the problem would be to change the assignment
table TKEZU by exchanging VBRP with KOMP in the table name:
(1) Delete the following entry in table TKEZU (you can maintain TKEZU
with view V_TKEZU in transaction SM30):
Characteristic, B Tran, Table, Field name, Offset, Length
(2) Add the following entry to table TKEZU:
Characteristic, B Tran, Table, Field name, Offset, Length
XXXXX KEDR KOMP BWTAR
(3) Generate the environment of your operating concern.
Pls revert with result...

Creating new characteristic in GATP

Hello All,
We have a requirement, where new characteristic is to be created in GATP planning area. Could you please help me with step by step configuration to be done in this case.
Regards
Rahul Chitte

Rahul,
If you had said key figures, I could have been a bit more optimistic. For new characteristics, though, you basically have to start from scratch. It is just as if you are re-creating your Planning area, all dependent planning books, and all allocation config. Go through every single step your originally performed when you created your entire allocation scenario.
You will most likely lose all existing data in your books. If this is going to happen in a production system, ensure that you back up your data before starting. Test the reload of data before moving the changes into production.
I don't intend to give you a step-by-step for setting up Allocation and Demand planning for allocation. For this info, refer to Best Practices.
Best Regards,

New characteristic in the existing Op, Concern

Dear gurus,
Can we add up a new Characteristic be it fixed or non fixed in an existing op. Concern that is been in use(means its got data in it)?
If yes How?
regards
sayeed

Sure. If the characteristic already exists just add it to your operating concern with t-code (KEA0). Go to change mode and click on the Data Structure button. The available characteristics wil appear in the list on the right hand side. Just select the ones you want and then activate and generate the operating concern. You will need to transport the operating concern to your production client with t-code (KE3I). If your characteristic does not currently exist you will need to first create it with transaction code (KEA5) before adding to the operating concern.
thanks,

CCM - content of customer characteristic not mapped to procurement catalog

Hi experts,
I uploaded a sample CSV-file supplier catalog. Within the supplier catalog I defined a customer characteristic of type /CCM/ATTACHMENT.
The supplier catalog is uploaded without any problems and also the /CCM/ATTACHMENT characteristic is filled correctly with description, mime type and URL.
I mapped now the supplier catalog to the master catalog and then to the procurement catalog.
All the content except the content of the customer characteristic /CCM/ATTACHMNENT is mapped to the master and procurement catalog. The characteristic /CCM/ATTACHMENT is available in the master and procurement catalog and I can even see the characteristic there. But no content is in there.
Are there any additional steps when I try to map customer characteristic? The characteristic is in definitely available in the master and procurement catalog schema and catalog.
Thanks in advance for your help! I will reward points.
Tom

Hi,
Try select both the characteristic in mapping, do "Assign Characteristics" for automatic characteristic assignment, include sub categories and SAVE.
A message will appear for assigning characteristic, then go for MAP CONTENT all items will be mapped and will be obtained in Procurement catalog.

ADD NEW CHARACTERISTIC: MAKTX (material text) in Profitability Report_CO-PA

Hello,
I have a CO-PA report (ZINTEGR...), when I run (KE30 tr.), I check the report by the Navigation fields (charact.) Company Code and Product, with drill down of material numbers and text.
This text is the "Product Hierarchy" (MARA-PRDHA), field in the Material Master and also I have the Material number (RMMG1-MATNR), but I need a long text to see all the material details descrip., so I will need the material description (short text-->MAKT-MAKTX) instead of the text that I have in the Product Hierarchy field in the material master data.
It is possible to add, (i suppose like a charact.) in the Z CO-PA report?
I try to edit charact. (KEA5 tr.) and I can´t see the MAKT-MAKTX in the characteristic overview list.
It is possible if I create a new charact. (WW...)?
B.Regards
Francisco

Hi,
If the problem exists only in KE30, please goto KE30 -> execute the report (e.g. drilldown) -> select the column -> goto SETTINGS -> CHARACTERISTICS DISPLAY -> select name + key. Also check the other options available here

Waman
