Characteristics value update in mass

Hi Experts,
I m seeking solution for characteristics value update in mass. We are already maintaining characteristics value for articles and now we have attached one additional characteristic value to article which need to be updated to all article.
Is there any tool to update characteristic value to each article in mass ? Any existing BAPI to update characteristics value in mass?
Hoping for best answer.

Hi Sapahd,

Task list characteristics values mass load

I'm loading the task lists using LSMW, however, when recording the batch input it is not possible to populate the characteristicsd values for the task list. Do you know about any way to load task lists characteristics values in mass, using LSMW?
Thanks,
Ana

Hi,
Thanks for your replies, but I have already tried the LSMW route, but it is not at all helpful while loading the Operation Relationship and the Service Package details, as while recording I select some particular Operation in IA06, so it always tried to point out to that Operation, even if I mention the Different Operation Number in my loading file
Do you let me in detail, if anyone has done the specific Operation Relationship or Service package Load through LSMW
Thanks

Mass Upload of object dependency for characteristics value

Hi ,
I need to upload the object dependency for characteristics values through transaction CT04. My input data consists of characteristcs name , characteristics value and the object dependency (KNNAM) . Need to populate the KNNAM field alone .
Have tried with the FM 'CTMV_CHARACT_CHANGE_KNOWL_VAL' which suits my requirement but teh dependencies are not getting uploaded . Am I missing anything ? Since I do not have class details i.e class num and class type I am not able to use the BAPI like 'BAPI_CLASS_CHARVALUE_LOCAL_DEP ' . Please suggest any othe r suitable method .
Thanks in advance.

How to change characteristics values in PPDS planned order?

Hi,
I have few PPDS planned orders. I want to change the value of few characteristics of existing PPDS planned order.
How can I do the same?
Any standard T.Code or function module or report available to update the characteristics values of PPDS planned order in APO.
Thanks in advance.
Warm Regards,
Surajit Das

Hi Surajit,
Char can be changed programatically.
If you want to change the Planned Order characteritics before its creation, you can do so at the time Planning run itself (/SAPAPO/RRP3) in BADI /SAPAPO/RRP_SRC_EXIT, Method RRP_USEX_PLORD_CREATE.
Planned Order characteritics can be changed after it creation.using BAPI BAPI_MOSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI3.

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 )

Enable/Disable Characteristics value assignment during Configuration in SD

Hi,
I have a sales order which has to be configured using Variant Configuration.
During the configuration process, I want to restrict the value assignment by classes. Meaning I have 2 classes - one for GRP1 and another for GRP2.
During creation of sales order, I give the sales ppl authorization to class for GRP1, which allows them to do characteristics value assignment for all the characteristics in the class called GRP1. The other users are not allowed to change any values assigned in GRP1 but they can view the info in GRP1, these users can only configure whatever characteristics in GRP2.
I tried using authorization object C_TCLS_MNT.
Mentioned in the SU21,
C_TCLS_MNT Authorization for Characteristics of Org. Area object can be used.
Actvt : 23 Maintenance of characteristics for org. area allowed , any other value Display area only characteristics for org.
However, I am unable to assign any other value other than 23. It mentioned that any other value is Display but I am unable to assign the other value.
It seems to be that C_TCLS_MNT is not working. Even when I do not assign C_TCLS_MNT (disable it) but using C_TCLS_BER (with org area), it allows user to do everything (display and change).
Pls help.
Thanks.
Cheers,
Sue

Please assign the value as ' ' (Single space included within single quote) to use "Any other value" option.
The other Objects can be used here are:
C_CLMM          CLAS     Mass Processing of Classifications
C_TCLA_BKA     CLAS     Authorization for Class Types
C_TCLS_BER     CLAS     Authorization for Org. Areas in Classification System
C_TCLS_MNT     CLAS     Authorization for Characteristics of Org. Area
Please check how many of these are present for the TCode you are using in TCode SU24 as Check/Maintain (or Check Indicator = Check & Proposal = Yes : If you are in ECC).
The activity 23 means "maintain"

Custom fields not getting updated in Mass Maintenance-MM17

Hi,
I have created a custom field in MARC table and the data is getting updated to the MARC table through MM01/MM02 but it is not getting updated by MM17. I have checked the notes 44410, 576160, 414020 and 116311. I have done the following changes as per the sap notes.
1. Created a custom segment ZE1MARCM by copying the standard segment E1MARCM and added the custom field in that
    segment.
2. I have extended the IDOC 'MATMAS03' and added the custom segment ZE1MARCM to E1MARAM.
3. Created a new entry in we82 and provided the extension type 'ZMATMAS03' and release '701'.
4. Adjusted the partner profile in we20 for matmas with port and providing the extension idoc type.
5. Added the custom field in the table MASSFLDLST.
6. Implemented the code in BADI 'MG_MASS_NEWSEG' and exits 'EXIT_SAPLMV01_002' , 'EXIT_SAPLMV02_002' as per the
    sap notes.
The custom field is not getting updated through mass maintenance. Please let me know if i have missed anything?
Thanks,
Geeta

I had this same question several years ago. Please check my answer at Initialize MARC Custom Fields Using MM17 Does Not Work

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.

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
rgds
Sandeep

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.
select a~matnr
        e~atwrt
        h~atwtb
into table i_tab
      from MARC as a
      inner join IBIN as b
      on b~instance eq a~cuobj
      inner join IBIB as c
      on c~ibase eq b~ibase
      inner join IBINVALUES as d
      on d~in_recno eq b~in_recno
      inner join IBSYMBOL as e
      on e~symbol_id eq d~symbol_id
      inner join CABN as f

            and e~atwrt in s_atwrt
           and b~valto eq '99991231235959'. "This is important condition
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.

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

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
awaiting reply
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?

Arman
