Character template -In Characteristics CT04

Hi ,
when I am trying to create characteristic for PR total value, by default system is proposing character template as
NN,NNN,NNN like this for length of character, because of this when i give the value to this characteristics like >0, system is converting it to NN.NNN.NNN something like this.
I want to chnage this character template, can anybody tell me where this assignment is done OR how can i chnage this template so that my value for characteristic will remaion as >0.
Thanks,
Charu

As far as i know you can only assign 1 UoM to a characteristic. Maybe create additional characteristics for the other UoM's.

Need free flash .fla cartoon character template

Does anyone know any sites that have free flash cartoon
character templates in the .fla file type? I know of only rwo sites
on the entire net that have character templates. Cartoonsmart.com
and cartoonsolutions.com however the only character templates on
those sites cost money. I am just wondering if anyone knows if
there are any sites that have them fore free.

In followup to my own frenzied query, in case anyone else is having the same problem, the solution to the 'squashed'
web site (that's works perfectly on testing outside the browser) is to upload the main.xml file in binary mode.

Batch create characteristics(ct04)

HI all,
I need to create batch characteristics from transaction ct04.
i have tried bapi_character_create but i am unable to create with it.
tried BDC when i try to recording can't see the Value tabs in it.
please give some suggestions, how can i do this.
if anyone have done this before, please forward sampel code to my email address
[email protected]

Hi,
In CT04 the Single & Multiple values means.
For Example in characeteristics if you want to maintain only one reading for characteristics then select the Single value,If you want more than one value for the Characteristics then select Multiple values.
For Example say your characteristics is Speed.you are assign this characteristics to class Motor.
When you attach this class to Equipment say if only one value exist for Speed characteristics for all equipment then specify single value.or if more than one value then specify as Multiple alue.
for Motor A the Value of Speed characteristics is 1500 Rpm
for Motor B the Value of Speed characteristics is 1500 Rpm
for Motor C the Value of Speed characteristics is 1500 Rpm
In this case assign as Single value.
If for Motor A the Value of Speed characteristics is 1500 Rpm
for Motor B the Value of Speed characteristics is 1200 Rpm
for Motor C the Value of Speed characteristics is 1100 Rpm
In this case specify as Multiple value & Maintain in characteristic when you cretae the value in Equipment the 3 option will show to you.from that you can select.
For the 4 digit entry & template.
Check your User profile what template it has given.check with Basis Consultant & ask him to assign the proper user profile to user id.
In menu bar go to System -- User profile-- Own data & check the Default values tab.Check for the template there.

Raj

Custom Character Template

Is it possible to create a custom template for the special characters I use over and over again without having to scroll through the entire Characters window?

You can put the ones you need frequently in the Favorites window in Character Viewer.
You can set up shortcuts to generate them via Pages > Preferences > Autocorrection > Symbol and Text Substitution
If you tell us what they are, we can tell you whether they are perhaps already easily made from the keyboard.

Transport of Class (CL02) and Characteristics (CT04)

Hi Gurus,
Can both class and characteristics be transported using ALE. Example
from DEV to QAS?
I understand in CT04, it is not possible. Everything need to be done
manually to the specific system/client.
Thanks in advance,
Azir

Hello,
Classification data cannot be 'transported', it has to be sent by ALE.
Please see notes 86900 , 45951 and note 10745 for more information on this.
Thanks.

Multiple UOMs in Characteristics (CT04)

Hi Friends,
I have some doubts regarding Characteristics in ECC (created using CT04). The characteristic, say Frequency, can have only one Unit of Measure (Hz) associated with it. However, business users would like to have values entered in other related units (KHz, MHz & GHz). They would like to enter 3 MHz rather than 3,000,000 Hz. Could this be achieved?
Regards,
Anil Madhavan

As far as i know you can only assign 1 UoM to a characteristic. Maybe create additional characteristics for the other UoM's.

Read mode - Web template Vs Characteristics

Hello,
I am using a web template in version 3.1. I have some navigation attributes. To try to enhance the display of filters value for some characteristics I changed in the web template the read mode from Q (posted values) to M (master data).
Unfortunately I see that the filter is still using read mode method Q. I have seen that this customizing exists also in RSA1 at the charcateristics level. If they are different, do you know which settings is used in the end ? Characteristics or web template ?
Thanks for your help,
Manuel

Hello,
I've found the solution, in fact web template is taking the lead but there is a correction to apply in version 3.1 :
Note 946661 - BOOKED_VALUES does not work correctly in Navigation Block
Thanks for your help,

In Results recording cant reflect characteristics

Dear All Experts,
I had created multiple characteristics(CT04) and assigned to class and the class is assigned to MIC which is assiged to Inspection plan(qp01), but while doing RR these characteristics are not reflecting, can anybody pls guide me.
Thank You in Advance

A selected set contains a combination of different codes at plant level, for example, coded descriptions of characteristic
attributes (such as color, shape, surface characteristics), defect causes or usage decisions from different code groups.
Ex:
Suppose for catalog 1 Characteristics Attribute,create code group COLOUR in QS51 (You need to create code group as per your requirement in QS41)
You can maintain codes like 0001 Red,0002 Blue,0003 Green.
This selected set then you can assign to MIC in QS21.
BUT
There are existing selected set are there for catalog type 1 in system.Check QS51 .you can enter the existing one in Class char.

Decrease no of chars in CT04?

Hi experts,
I have added the no. of chars from 4 to 5.. in my characteristics (CT04) and now i want to decrease it back to original, but there is a message saying :
"Characteristic length can only be increased"
how to solve this? can i just delete and create it back? what implications will it give? I know that CU03 is using this characteristic to link with VK13..
In my additional data tab, my customized field reference is a NUMC4 from the table of SDCOM. This is why i need to change it back.. however, when i create sale order manually, no errors were generated.
Thanks & regards

If you have created any transactions using this characteristic, or maintained some dependencies at the characteristic level, or char assignment to class etc..... all these can depend on this characteristic.
So if you want to create a new char, or delete this char and create again with the same name, you need to delete all the dependent entries(assignment of dependencies to char, assignment of char to class etc) and then you can create a new char with the same name and move forward.
If you delete this characteristic, then you can create a new characteristic with the same name.

Templates for New Pages Not Updating

I am a site admin with 7 Contributors accessing my site via
Contribute 3. I have created templates for them to use to create
their new pages. These templates allow them to only edit text; they
cannot update styles or layout in any way. I have noticed that,
whenever I make updates to my templates and resave them out onto
the server, some of my Contributors will pick up the new template
and some will not. Is there any way to force them to pull the new
templates? I have asked them to all Refresh Templates before they
create new ones....they tell me that they have, but they are still
pulling the old template. This causes an issue because, if they
pull the old template, I have to open their page in Dreamweaver and
update the template. Doing this on 30+ pages each month gets quite
tiring and almost defeats the purpose of Contribute for me. Any
suggestions on this issue are much appreciated!

Perhaps - and this is just a guess - the template references
in the pages have got messed up. Something I've noticed is that
template names with spaces in them get messed up by Contribute. At
the top of each web page based on a template is the  tag. If the template name
in there contains spaces it will sometimes get URL-encoded, i.e.
spaces become %20, and then Dreamweaver no longer recognizes the
template name as matching the one you're editing. Best practice
seems to be a an all character template file name.

Pr release process

hi expert
I want to configure pr release stratgy can u tell me what are the setting to be done step by step and our campany have got one plant
Thanks & regards

HI
Release Procedure - Procedure in which one or more authorized persons (e.g. a cost center manager) give(s) the go-ahead or "green light" to procure a material or external service.
(Release Procedure for PR, RFQ, PO, Contracts & Scheduling Agreements)
The following purchasing objects can be released:
Purchase requisitions
A requisition (regarded as an internal purchasing document) cannot be converted into a follow-on document until it has been released.
External purchasing docu. (RFQs, purchase orders, contracts, scheduling agreements and service entry sheets)
An external purchasing document cannot be issued to a vendor until it has been released.
Note:
Requisitions can be released either item-wise or in total. External purchasing documents can only be released in total.
Release Procedure for Purchase Requisitions:
Two different procedures are available for requisitions:
With classification
With this procedure, requisitions can be released both at item level (i.e. item-by-item) and in total. The latter approach is also termed "overall release".
Without classification
With this procedure, requisitions can only be released at item level.
Characteristics (CT04): In the classification system, characteristics describe the properties of objects. The values of a characteristic specify these properties.
Characteristic COLOR has the values 'red', 'green', and 'blue'. When you classify an object, you use this characteristic to specify the color of the object.
Steps:
1. Enter Character Name using Create button.
2. In Basic Data Screen - Enter Description, Status, No. of Characters & multiple Values.
3. Go to Additional Data Screen - Enter Table Name, Field Name then choose tick Not ready for I/P.
4. Go to Values Screen - Enter Char. Value & Description.
5. Go to Restriction Screen - Enter Class Type.
6. Then go to Additional Data Screen remove the Tick of Not ready for input & save.
Class (CL02): Group of characteristics that can be attributed to a product. A class is a grouping of similar objects according to common characteristics.
Class Type: A class type is a top-level unit of control for classes. Each class must be allocated to exactly one class type. There is no connection between the individual class types.
Steps:
1. Enter Class Name & Choose Class type then Create using button.
2. In Basic Data Screen - Enter Description & Status.
3. Then nothing will be entered in keywords & Texts screens.
4. In Characteristic Screen u2013 Enter created characteristic then save.
Set Up Procedure with Classification (OMGQ):
1. Then go to Set Up Procedure with Classification
a. Release Group - Enter two char. (or) no. for Release Group, Class & Description then save.
b. Release Code u2013 Enter release group, Code Workflow & Description.
c. Release Indicator u2013 Nothing to enter.
d. Release Strategy u2013 Enter Release Group, Release Strategy, and Release Codes.
Release Prerequisite u2013 Choose order of release.
(ii) Release Status u2013 give continue.
(iii) Classification u2013 Enter the Value of Characteristics Description.
(iv) Release Simulation u2013 Double click and activate.
e. Workflow
Release with Link to Workflow:
Use
When you set up the release procedure with classification for purchase requisitions or purchase orders, you can define a link to the SAP Business Workflow. This is particularly advisable if employees whose daily duties include tasks other than the approval of requisitions or purchase orders are involved in the release procedure.
Features
The employee is automatically advised when a release is to be effected. A work item appears in his or her inbox, which he or she can process directly. When the item is processed, the SAP release transaction is automatically invoked with the relevant release code.
Then do PR in that Release Strategy will appear in both Item Level & Header Level. After that go to Release approval for Purchasing Document (ME28).
Release Group - The multiple usage of the same release strategy key.
Release Code
Two-character identifier with which a person responsible for processing a document can release (approve) an item of a purchase requisition, a complete purchase requisition, or a complete external purchasing document, or cancel such release (that is, revoke a previously granted approval). If a link to SAP Business Workflow has been defined for the release code, the person involved can also refuse to effect release (withhold approval), thus rejecting the relevant item or document.
Release Indicator
Shows the release (approval) status of a purchasing document.
When you have released (approved) an internal or external purchasing document with your release code, a release indicator is assigned to this document. The release indicator determines how the document may be processed further. For example, it may show that a requisition can be converted into a purchase order, or that a subsequent release point (individual or department) must first signify approval.
Release Strategy
The release strategy defines the approval process for purchase requisitions or external purchasing documents. The strategy specifies the release codes necessary and the sequence in which releases have to be effected. You can define a maximum of eight release codes.
The assignment of the release strategy to a requisition or a purchasing document is based on the release conditions.
Release Prerequisite
Specifies the sequence in which the processors (members of staff responsible for processing a certain document) must approve an internal or external purchasing document with their respective release codes.
Example:
The release (approval) procedure for purchase requisitions within an enterprise may provide that a department manager must release (approve) a requisition item before the next-higher level of authority (for example, the cost center manager). In this case, approval by the department manager is the prerequisite for approval by the cost center manager.
Release Status
Displaying the Release Status
You can display the release status of all items of a purchase requisition or the Complete Purchase Requisition in an overview. The overview shows whether each item or requisition has been released or is blocked, etc.
1. Display the item overview for the relevant purchase requisition.
2. Choose Goto Release info Release status.
A dialog box providing information on release statuses appears.
Displaying the Release Strategy
To display details pertaining to the release of an item or a complete requisition, proceed as follows:
1. Display the item overview for the relevant purchase requisition.
2. Select an item.
3. Choose Goto Release info Release strategy.
A box appears, giving you the following information:
1. Description of the release strategy
2. Previously effected releases involving the purchase requisition
3. All release codes with which the requisition must be released before it can be converted into an RFQ or a PO (final release)
If alternative release codes have been defined, the different ways in which this requisition item can achieve final release are shown.

Kiran

Consignment and Configurable mate.

Hi Gurus,
My doubt is
Is it advisable to follow consignment processing with configurable material?
If yes what would be item category determination for this/
if no why couldn't it possible to use configurable material in consignment?
Ple share your views.
Thanks
Shiv

Hi Shiv patil
Below is the Configurable Material process.
Variant Configuration
Define The Characteristics
Transaction Code: CT04
Example the Product is pump
Type: Monoblock Pump
          Centrifugal pump
Capacity: 5Hp, 10Hp, 15Hp
Characteristics: Z_TYPE
Continue
Dialog BOX: Do you want to Create?
Yes
Description: Pump Type
Data Type: Characteristic
Number of characters= 10
Select value button
Characteristic value          Description
TYPE1                         Monoblock
TYPE2                         Centrifugal
Save the characteristics
2.Create a Class
Transaction Code: CL01
Class= Z_PUMP
Class Type= 300 (variant) / 023 for batch determination
300=variant class
Continue
Description= Class for Configuration of Pump
Select Char (Characteristic) Button
Characteristic
Z_TYPE
Save
3) Create again one more characteristic as Price = ZP_PRICE
Transaction Code: CT04
Characteristic=ZP_PRICE
Continue
Yes to dialog Box
Description: Price Characteristic
Select Additional data
Table name: SDCOM
Field name: VKOND
Save the Characteristic
4) Assign the dependencies i.e. the characteristic to the Price characteristic
Use CT04 and call the Z_TYPE
Select Values
Select TYPE1
Select Extra
Select Object Dependencies
Select Editor
Select radio Button: Procedure
Continue
Against 10 use the following syntax to connect the characteristic with Price
$Self.ZP_PRICE=TYPE1
Save
Repeat the Exercise for TYPE2
Save and back
5) Prepare the material master
Material Type: KMAT (Configurable material)
Most of the fields are similar to material TYPE=FERT except following
a)     Maintain avc=02 (individual requirements)
b)     Maintain MRP1, MRP2, MRP3 under MRP3, strategy group=25
c)     Maintain also account assignment   group
Save
6) Prepare the Configurable profile for material and assign the Class to Profile
Transaction Code: CU41
Select: material
P=Profile number=01
Name=Pump
Class= 300
Select 01 and select Class assignments
Enter class=Z_PUMP
Now list of the characteristic are shown
Select the characteristic Pump TYPE
Select the values TYPE1 and TYPE2
Save the Profile
7) Create conditions
Default Condition= PUMP TYPE=MONOBLOCK
ZKP0= 8000
VA00 for TYPE2= Centrifugal= 1000
Use VK11 to maintain Conditions
When creating for VA00
Variant=TYPE2
Rate=1000
Save
8) Create an Order and check profile and also the Pricing
In the order when we enter material system will propose a configurable profile and selection buttons
Select the choice and select Pricing and the system will do pricing according to the variant
Create one more characteristic = capacity of Pump
Characteristic= ZP_CAP
Description=capacity
Data Type=Character
No of char=10
Select value
Characteristic value          Description
CAP1                              5HP
CAP2                              10HP
Save
2. Assign the new characteristic = class Z_PUMP
CL02
Class=Z_PUMP
Continue
Select CHAR button
Assign the newly created characteristic ZP_CAP
3. Assign the Price characteristic to Capacity characteristics
CT04=ZP_CAP
Select values
Select CAP1 and assign ZP_PRICE
Repeat like it was done in earlier steps
4. Already class is been activated with new characteristic. Activate this in the Profile (select variants)
CU42
Material =PUMP1
Select profile=01
Select class assignments
Select second characteristic and select values CAP1 and CAP2 and save the Profile
5. Maintain condition records
VK11
MONOBLOCK+5HP=8000
10HP=3000
Variant = CAP2= rate is 3000
Now create an Order, select variants, stock quantity, delivery and Billing
Save the Order---Based on the order the items are produced
Stocking through MB1c
Movement = 521 E

PR Release Strategy for MRP & Manually created PR

There is a scenario in which it's required when,
PR is generated automaticaly through MRP then Release strategt should be applicable and when
PR is created manually then release strategy won't be applicale.
Please suggest about this..........
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You should have two document types ( as required by you here), MRP PR document type & Manual PR document type.Link plant, MRP group and the default order types as MRP PR document type in OMDT t.code.
You should create release characteristics (CT04) with the table & field and add all release characteristics in release class. For document type release characteristics with CEBAN & BSART and do not keep value ZNB which you do not want, just keep value ZMNB. During design of release strategy keep value only for document type ZMNB with other character values.

When to use a constant...

I have a class that can be mulitple races.. humans, dwarfs, orcs and such...
im not sure whether to make them a String[] races
or to use
private static final int HUMAN = 0;
private static final int DWARF = 1;
could someone tell me the benefits of either way...
thanks
mdpx

Do neither.
Java's an OOP language. Use OOP.
Define classes that represent the various races in the game.
Presumably, you have a character object, which will have as a property the character's race. So the race is an abstraction, a template of characteristics (drwarves are short, wizards are magic, etc.). So define a Race or Species type that fulfills this responsibility. Offhand, I'd suggest making a Race abstract class, with private instantiable subclasses and/or a private constructor, and a static set of predefined instances, like this:
public abstract class Race {
    public static Race DRAWF = new Race() {
        // define implementations of methods here
    public static Race ORC = new Race() {
    //etc
    public abstract int averageHeight();
    // etc
}
