CIF Material Classification

Hi All,
We use Material Classification (001 type) in R/3 system.   But not able to transfer via CIF to APO.
The Characteristics are already transferred, but I had to create Class manually in APO (using CL01) and assigned all Characteristics to that Class.
But now, we I do material master CIF Material classification values not transferred (no values exists in CL20N).
Also, another question, Like R/3 material master, should Classification tab/view in APO Product Master show material classification? or this Classification view meant only for CDP/CBP?
Thanks,
Niranjan

Hi Senthil,
1. When I execute Material model (contains only material and plants) in CFM1 it shows in the next screen only "Material master data" and in details  it shows only material, mat description and Plant.  I don't see Class anywhere. So that means class is incorrectly maintained?  But We could maintain classification values correctly in Material Master.
2. Class and Char are created in APO. Chars got transfered using CIF but I had to create Class manually in APO.
3. So Classification view in Product master is only for CDP,  we don't see material classification values in product master. Do we need to use CL20N?

  • CIF of material classification data

    Dear Experts,
    Since a recent technical upgrade to our systems, I have seen a change in behavior of the integration of material classification data from ECC to SCM.  Before the upgrade, classification data transferred with the initial CIF of the material.   If material classification did not exist on the ECC material at the time the material was added to a new integration model and activated, we "missed the boat" so to speak.  Classification would not automatically transfer (CIF) to APO when if finally was loaded in ECC, even if the application area/integration models were correct.   As a work-around, we would be forced to generate and activate a material model that specifically excluded the material, then generate and activate another material integration model that included it again.  Then the classification would transfer.
    After the upgrade, the opposite condition is true, the "initial CIF" of the material will not transfer material classification data at all, it will only transfer if the classification data is added/changed after the material itself is transferred to APO.  As a work around for this, if the classification data is already (correctly) loaded in ECC at the time of the initial material CIF, we are changing the status of the material classification from 1 to 3 and back to 1, just to trigger a change, then the classification is transferred instantly to APO.
    Are there configuration settings that will allow material classification data to CIF in both cases: with the initial CIF of the material to SCM and also in the event of a change and/or addition of classification data in ECC?  Thanks for any advice you can provide.

    Dear Matt,
    What you are looking for is achieved by downloading the customizing objects from R/3 to SRM.
    This is a must before you download materials/services from R/3 to SRM.
    Customizing objects are 4:
    DNL_CUST_BASIS3 - This takes care of Basis settings in SRM for downloading.
    DNL_CUST_PROD0 - This takes care of Material number conversions from R/3 to SRM.
    DNL_CUST_PROD1 - This CO actually brings matl groups from R/3 to SRM as product categories.
    The result you can see in trx COMM_HIERARCHY (not in COMMPR01 which is for materials/services.
    There in R3MATCLASS you can see replicated and locally crated prod categories
    and in R3PRODSTYPE you can see the material typs from R/3
    DNL_CUST_SRVMAS - This takes care of Customizing: Service Master
    The transaction for this is R3As in SRM
    and you can monitor the same through R3AM1.
    also you can check QRFC of R3 and SRM with SMQ1 and SMQ2.
    The next step after this is material/service downloading from R/3 which is done with the same trx R3AS but business objects
    Material and
    Service_master
    You can set fileter in trx R3AC1 for this.

  • Error While Creating Material Classification Characteristic DataSource -

    Hi  All,
        I am creating the Material Classification DataSource 1CL_OMAT001 with CTBW in R/3 with the following info:
    Basis DataSource = 0MATERIAL_ATTR; Client = 200; Class Type = 001;
    Obj table = MARA; DataSource Type = ATTR,  DataSource = 1CL_OMAT001
    I have added all the characteristics with 'New Entries' button and the following are the details after saving it:
       DataSource = 1CL_OMAT001
       Characteristic Name =  ABCDXYZ
       Item No =   '    ' (blank)
       Maintain Status =  N
       Characteristic = 1CL_AABC001
       Typ  =  CHA
       While adding the MATERIAL_GROUP as characteristic it got an error because of Reference Characteristic since it is reference to Table MARA. Finally, I didn't add it.
       When I click the 'Generate' button to generate the DataSource then it is giving the error of <b>'BW Metada is incomplete'</b>  (CLBW008).
       What is wrong with it and how could I fix this problem, please ?
       Thanks in advance.

    I am not too sure but this might be the cause of error. Data doesn't need to be in client 100, but the characteristic needs to be defined in the class if I remember it correctly.
    To do a quick check, open report program RCLBW_STRUCTURE_GEN in SE38, there is a call to FM RSA1_SINGLE_OLTPSOURCE_GET (around line 169) put a breakpoint there in the editor (display).
    Now run your CTBW generation, it should stop at the breakpoint. You should check the value of field GT_CLBW_SOURCES-IOBJNM in the debugger - it would likely be the characteristic name.
    Now, go to SE37, do a single test of FM RSA1_SINGLE_OLTPSOURCE_GET, and specify this same value for field I_OLTPSOURCE and execute. You will likely get a sy-subrc of non-zero.
    Repeat this in client 200, check sy-subrc.
    If you are getting sy-subrc 0 in 200 and non-zero in 100; you will either need to create the classification in 100, or generate it in 200.
    If this doesn't work, let us know.

  • Error while generating material classification data source in R/3

    Hi,
    I am trying to generate the data source for material classification in R/3.
    I have created the data source entry in CTBW and added the classification fields required for the data source. But while generating the data source i am getting an error, which says "BW Metadata is incomplete".
    Is there any step, that i have missed? Please advise what needs to be done.
    Thanks,
    Manoj

    Hi Santhosh,
    The note seems to be quite old and may not be applicable since we are on the latest support pack.
    We are using two different clients, one for configuration and the other for test data.

  • Initial load of material classification

    Hi,
    We want to start using GTS to maintain tariff codes and to assign materials to tariff codes. We will start off with loading tariff codes in GTS from a dataprovider. However, we do not want to start from scratch with assigning materials to tariff codes. This information is already available in our SAP system. Does GTS provide a way to import the existing SAP material master data and load it into the material classification in GTS? If not, what is the best way to start this effort?
    Regards,
    Ed

    Hi,
    There is standard transaction where you can do mass classifications in GTS but i think there is a limitation to 3000 products at a time and in my view, it is not very effective if you have hundreds of codes to be assigned to products and it is very time consuming..
    Alternatively, you will have to build a customised program and get all classifications saved in text file and load them up which is what i have done.
    In my view, after implementation of GTS, tariff and commodity codes ( Include Classifications ) are supposed to be maintained in GTS by ITC and transferred over to Feeder system ( Commodity code is the only master data to be transferred over from GTS to Feeder and there is a standard transaction for doing initial transfer ).
    Bad point about this standard is you will need to ask your Basis to activite the change log file in system to keep track when the commodity code is transferred.
    Thereafter, you must have batch jobs running regularly at GTS and Feeder to do the transfer.
    Im new in GTS so what i have said might not be entirely correct. Im still learning..
    Thank you.

  • What is the impact - Activating Change Logs for Material Classification Dta

    To activate Change Logs for Material Classification Data I must first set the flag for "Multiple Objs Allowed" for the Class Type 001 Material Class. I am curious of what the impact of setting this flag will be. Also, is there a way to measure the DASD impact of activating the Change logging for this data.
    Thankyou
    Kevin

    In addition to the performance impact the process of turning on Change Logs for Classification data will convert the tables KSSK and AUSP to use an internal SAP number as a key instead of the Material number. This will cause problems for any custom programs that access those files directly and expect the material number to be the key. This file conversion occurs during the execution of program RCCLUKA2 which is used to Flag the change logs for existing records. This can be reversed by running report RMCLINOB. Because of the above impact we decided here to NOT implement this change in production.

  • Urgent help with Material classification

    Thsi is regarding data into BW for Material classification.
    I am tryign to create the extractors as suggested in BW expert & in the forums posted by others.
    I did create 1CL_0MAT001 .but i did nto understand where to add the charerceristics & further steps. I have aroudn 15 charecteristics.-also i did not completely understand the Process of creating via CTBW t.code.
    It woudl be really great if someone could explain.
    Can anyone pls help me with this.
    This is realy urgent.

    Hi Chris,
    Choose the transaction SBIW (Customizing for the BW source system) and the menu path Business Information Warehouse &#61614; Customer-defined DataSources &#61614; Cross-application Components &#61614; Classification System &#61614; Maintain DataSources for Classification data.
    To maintain a DataSource, proceed as follows:
    Specify a Basis DataSource that has an InfoSource you want to enhance (for example, 0MATERIAL_ATTR). Choose a client, a class type, and an object table from which you want to transfer the classification data (for example, 100, 001, MARA).
    Click on Save.
    Then select the line in CTBW and select Characteristic.
    Specify the characteristics that you want to assign to the DataSource. Click on the generate datasources. The DataSource is generated, and given a status (N = new, for a newly created DataSource, and R = ready, following successful generation) and a technical prefix “1¬CL_...” is added to the name
    A Metadata upload replicates the DataSource along with its relevant properties in BW, where it can be assigned to an InfoSource.
    A Metadata upload on the InfoObject/source system level has to be carried out so that the DataSources created in the OLTP are also available in BW. You access this function by clicking the right mouse button on Source system for InfoObject &#61614; Replicate DataSources,
    Hope that helps. If you need any other info kindly let us know.
    Regards.

  • Raw Material Classification ?

    Hi All,
    Weare facing a problem  during uploading material classification, using BAPI "BAPI_OBJCL_CREATE" , or BDC using transaction "CLMM" , or LSMW using transaction "CL20N". Each material classification upload is
    taking nearly 2 hours. Each material is to be assigned 1 class of class type 200 and with 370 characteristics along with values. There are more than 1500 materials to be maintained.
    Thanks & Regards
    Navneeth K.

    Schedule in background...it will take little more time.
    Try with MM02 classification view.
    Are you assigning the values to each material?

  • Material Classification Data changes

    Hello,
    I need to track the changes done to material classification data.
    I can not see changes through MM04 transcation. Is there any way i can see the table where changes are stored or way changes are tracked?
    Best Regards
    Himanshu

    Hi,
    Generally CDPOS & CDHDR are the history tables but cannot see the classification related changes. As i mentioned above tables can see the changes of classification, but make sure that for the  related field  "Log data changes" indicator checkbox need to select in SE11. If you are not able to check this box please refer  the OSS Note 943559 . Thanking you.

  • Material Classification Data extraction fron ECC

    Hello Experts,
    We are trying to extract material classification data from ECC 6.0 to MDM 7.1 using mdmgx T-Code. We are using the standard SAP list of tables which is uploaded in MDMGX. On performing 'Start Extraction' it gives us the following errors:
    Class and characteristics info returned is blank
    Blank XML returned for port LT_ClassAttributes
    Class and characteristics info returned is blank
    Blank XML returned for port LT_Classes
    Kindy advice if we are missing anything.
    Thanks in advance,
    Elizabeth.

    Hi Eliza,
    I think rather than class type there should be Class Name  e.g.
    -<ClassHierarchies>
    <Class>LIQUID_SAMPLER</Class>
    <ParentClass />Zparent<ParentClass />
    <Name_English>LIQUID_SAMPLER</Name_English>
    </ClassHierarchies>
    -<ClassHierarchies>
    <Class>Zparent</Class>
    <ParentClass />
    <Name_English>ZPARENT</Name_English>
    </ClassHierarchies>
    One of the <ClassHierarchies> should not have ParentClass because there must be one class which is parent of all classes e.g. here ZPARENT
    You should check that may be 001 is here also defined as class-name not class type. I would also say check do you have other ParentClass as Class name or not, except 001. Try to import this data in the manner as shown in MDM import Manager Reference Guide page 162 onwards using Create Hierarchy, after import check with business/functional consultant. Please have a look into it,

    You can also use predefined import map for pre-delivered repositories like Material, Product etc.
