CO-PA: Derivation of characteristics from classification values

Hello,
is it possible somehow to use classification values from the material master for the
derivation of customer-specific characteristics in CO-PA?
The SAP documentation doesn't mention them but is there a way to use them?
How can I do that?
Best Regards,
Christian

Hi,
Please consider the following:
1. Create table lookup to transfer VBAP-CUOBJ to origin "GLOBAL" - field "CUOBJ" (no need to create that field as CO-PA characteristic).
2. Create derivation of type enhancement and use function module 'CUCB_GET_CONFIGURATION'. Import parameter "INSTANCE" stands for "CUOBJ" whereas values per classification characteristic can be derived from Export parameter "CONFIGURATION". Loop at that with proper "ATNAM" (classification characteristic) and get the appropriate "ATWRT" (classification value), which for sure you can assign to an appropriate PA characteristic.

Alex

Deriving Time Characteristics from Date fields in ODS View

Hi,
I am creating ODS Views using HANA calculation views.
is there any direct approach to derive time characteristics like cal week, cal quarter, cal month, calmonth 2, fiscal year, cal year etc from date fields?
work around:
Deriving them in HANA view in calculated columns and mapping them to IO created with respective time characteristics as reference.
is there any standard and easy to use approach for this??
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ravi,
Insteod deriving them in the ODS view you can derive them in tha Calculation View in SAP HANA itself using Time Dimention concept.

How to read classification value from batch class

Hi Gurus,
In our material master we maintain Batch class (023) from all RM where 2 characteristics value is very important one is std.moisture and another is actual moisture.Now Std moisture value is fixed and we maintain this value in material master.Actual moisture is variable batchwise and thats why we maintain it by using MSC2N.Here the problem is the std moisture is not coming in classification data autometically from Material Master but we already maintain it.It shows in Material Data tab.But I need that it will come in Classification data tab autometically as we use this in report.I use VB_BATCH_VALUES_FOR_OUTPUT Function for classification value fetching from material and batch.Now as this value is not coming automatically coming user again put this data.I want to know how can it come autometically?If it is not possible please tell me how I can get this data from material and batch as the above function is not working.
Please help me out.

How to derive Budget Period from Delivery date in PR/PO

Hello Gurus,
I have activated the Budget Period functionality in FM (BCS). I am deriving the budget period from Posting date but in case of PR/PO I want to derive it from Delivery date instead of Document/Posting Date.I know it is not possible while standard derivation. Could any one help me with some suggestion like if I can use some exit/BaDI in MM. Also I am creating a PM order and at the time of release of PM order system creates the PR in background hence I need to know some kind of exit/BADI which can be called to update the Budget Period field in PR.
Thanks in Advance!
Regards
Rohit Goel

Hello Eli,
I have one more query to ask on the above scenario.
The scenario is my delivery date in PO is say July but I did good issue in May hence the Budget Period should be May and not july in my GR and IV.
Now when I am doing GR in May then system is showing the Budget Period as July in GR document but in FM Document it is populating as May. I have defined a derivation strategy to derive budget period from posting date so may be because of that.
But when I am doing IV then it is again moving the amount from May to July. It may be right behaviour that system is deriving all the account assignment from Source document but is there any way to overwrite.
I have defined the derivation strategy with the condition that overwrite with new value if already written (Deriving from Posting Date to Budget Period).
Please guide me on this if possible.
Thanks in Advance

Rohit

Batch Classification Values not getting changed

Hi Gurus,
I am using the following bapi ( BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE ) to change Batch classification values Eg: Cut clarity etc.
when i pass these values thru the function module in the program it is not getting changed while when i change it through msc2n it gets changed successfully...
I have passed the following values in the parameters of the bapi :
OBJECTKEY            = v_objectkey
OBJECTTABLE        = 'MCH1'
CLASSNUM             = V_CLASSNUM
CLASSTYPE           = '023'
KEYDATE                = 30.04.2010
ALLOCVALUESCHARNEW
CHARACT = CLARITY
VALUE_CHAR = P040
VALUE_NEW   = P040.
Can some one help me solve this....
Needed urgently..

Copa - text of material classification values to copa

we will use copa for analysis.
we want to have some material classification values to pa. we have the ausp value at copa by using
kedr. but the problem is text of the classification values.
When i try to create a value field with referance to the data element ATWRT than i have the error length 00030 of the data element is too big.also i know that there is no chance to create ATRWT with 30 chac length.
when i create the value field without value maintanance then the text of the classification not comes to pa.
At last i have created the value field as with own value maintanence and double the charecteristic names and text from kes1.
But this solution is not suitable.
Is there a way to take this text from cawnt table?

What SAP table houses the Material Classification values?

I cannot for the life of me figure out what SAP table actually stores the material classification characteristic values. These are the related tables I have found so far but none of them link the information to a material number:
TABLE: CABN
ATINN (characteristic ID)
ATNAM (characteristic name code)
MSEHI (UoM associated with characteristic)
TABLE: CABNT
ATINN (characteristic ID)
ATBEZ (characteristic full name)
TABLE: KLAH
KLART (class type)
CLASS (class name code)
CLINT (class id)
TABLE: KLAT
CLINT (class id)
TXTBZ (class full name)
TABLE: KSML
CLINT (class id)
IMERK (characteristic id)
POSNR (characteristic positional location for class)
TABLE: CAWN
ATINN (internal char.)
ATZHL (int counter)
ATWRT (char. value)
TABLE: CAWNT
ATINN (internal char.)
ATZHL (int counter)
ATWTB (description)
I have also identified these structures, but I am no good at finding where values from a structure actually reside.
STRUCT: RMCBC "I/O field for include screens from classification"
contains MATNR, KLART, CLASS, KLTXT, ATWRT
STRUCT: RMCLF "Classification I/O structure for Assgmt of Object to Class"
contains KLART, CLASS, KLTXT
Can anyone please help me and advise where the actual relationship between material number and classification information is? I'm trying to import this information from MDM to R/3 but I have no idea what to map it to or what Idoc segment to use.
Thanks!

Have a go with below table joint in SQVI or SQ01:
KSSK (Allocation Table: Object to Class), joint together with KLAH (Class Header Data).
Link will be field CLINT.
Choose the below from KSSK:
Key of object to be classified - KSSK-OBJEK: you will enter the material number here. Watch out - you have to add 10 leading zeros before your material number, eg. number 40524281 will be altered to 000000000040524281.
Class Type - KSSK-KLART: here you can specify the class type which is 001 for material master.
Choose the below from KLAH:
Class number - KLAH-CLASS: this field will return the class number you assigned to your material in Classification view.

Laszlo

FM to find sales order Characteristic Classification Value

Hi friends,
Iam having a requirement where I have to find Sales Order Characteristic Classification Value.
Here is the Path from where I have to get that detail.
sales order tcode va03 --> item detail : configuration --> Character Description --> Charcater Value
I need to fetch this character value to classify my Sales Order in programming.
With Regards
Bhaskar

if you call function module VC_I_GET_CONFIGURATION, with the value VBAP-CUOBJ for the sales order line item in parameter INSTANCE, all characteristic descriptions and values will be returned in table parameter CONFIGURATION

Replacing Null Values From existing values in table.

Hi
Using 9i R(2).
Tbl_1
Col_A varchar2
Col_B varchar2
Col_C varchar3
(no PK/FK)
I want to inset the missing values (null values) of columns B & C by taking values from filled values from same table on base of Col_A.
Examples
Col_A || Col_B || Col_C
Item_1 || Red || 2Kg
Item_2 || Blue || 1.5 Kg
Item_1 || Null || Null
I want to inset values in the Null value fields of Row3 (Col_B & CoL_C) from Row1 as Col_A is same at both rows.
Please advise how to do it efficiently.
Thanks

Varinat configuration copy of batch characteristics from Sale order to production batch

hi experts ,
below is the scenario :
the characteristics and its value which are maintained in the sale order must be copied to batch produced during process order GR .
it was not available in 4.7 but availbale in ECC 6.0 i guess by SAP.
i have created configured material with class type 300 and KMAT . have mainatined CU41 . created material variant and have filled MRP 3 fields.
have created material variant with class type 023 . (also tried with class type 300) .
created sale order for confgured material and item category is also correct . i do not get pop up for material variant which has same charcateristics as that of material configured.
also on after MRP run and process order creation w.r.t Sale order i did GR . but the batch was created with 023 class type and no characteristics were copied .
kindly guide , i have not worked much on variant configuration.
regards,
satish

Satish Yadav,
the problem start as you havent got pop up saying there exist a material variant with values you selected for configurable material in sales order, so please check settings related to item catagory.
Also as sales order is created for configurable material , for which material you run MRP?
check below link for more information on material variant and its replacement in sales order.

checka nd reply back, Hope it will solve your issue.

Error while deriving the currency from table

i am getting the below error while simulating the payroll for india.
Error while deriving the currency from table T001P & Error during Initialization of payroll.
i am SAP HCM Trainee.. practicing at home.

Pls check the currency in table T500C.
You can use TCode OE00 for table maintenance T500C.
Also check whether currency is there in table V_CURC and T510.
Hope this will help.

Error while deriving the currency from table T001P.

Hi Friends,
I am trying to run payroll for NZ using schema NZ00 but i am getting an error stating "Error while deriving the currency from table T001P. Error during initialization of Payroll"
I have checked V_T001P, V_T001 and have deleted the personnel area and subarea and again created it but still i am unable to solve this problem.
Could you please help me as to where this error can be corrected.
Thanks,
Manj

About the incidence, the problem might be related to the links between
personnel area, company code and currency set up (table T001P, T500P and
T001).
Please check the following points:
1- Have you assigned the Personnel area to the Company code under SPRO -
IMG -> Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Human Resource Management
-> Assignment of Personnel Area to Company Code.
2- SPRO -> Personnel Management -> Personnel Admin -> Basic Settings ->
Determine Currencies (Public Sector Currency Need to be maintained along
with the other node).
3- SPRO- Personnel Management -> Personnel Admin -> Payroll Data ->
Basic Pay -> Define Hourly Rates for several decimal places. (Please
maintain all the nodes).
4- Maintaining the table t500c through transaction code OE00.

Ramana

Cannot add a new characteristics from the system catalog

Hi,
I am trying to pull and add a new characteristics from the existing characteristics catalog. However when i save and activate the new char, the system throwing a yellow warning message as "Field KMKDGR has the same name as field KDGRP". When i proceed to save it since its just a warning message the system says all fields are saved. However when i quit and come to the characteristics list of the op concern, i notice the new characteristic is not added into the list of characteristics. Why is it so?
Is it because of the warning message?

Hi
The warning message can be ignored...
Once you save the char, you need to reactivate your data structure in KEA0... Ideally, when you save and press the back button, system itself gives a pop up message to reactivate the data structure...
1. Push the char from right to left
2. There will be a "match-stick" icon at the top left of the screen.. Click it
3. Then press back button
4. Whether with our without pop up message, activate your data structure in KEA0

Classification values in Material master

hi ,
m using the BTE event to capture the values of material master but the characteristics name and value fields are not there.
Is there any way to capture those values??
i have one solution by assigning the program and table to the field symbols like--
CLEAR field .
field = '(SAPLCLFM)allausp[]' .
...but i need some more elaboration if someone has worked on this...or any other better solution...?

Replacement from the Value of an Attribute*

Replacement from the Value of an Attribute
With formula variables you can set the processing type Replacement from the Value of an Attribute and create a reference to the reference characteristic for the variable. The attribute Reference to Characteristic (Constant 1) is a dummy attribute that is available with each characteristic. It serves to create a reference to the characteristic, by which it does not need to be aggregated. By choosing this attribute, you can influence the aggregation behavior of calculated key figures in a targeted way and can improve performance during calculation.
1)what does this do in the query?
2)what is the value of the variable created ?(like 1,2 etc {i.e.} it changes or is a constant value like 1)?
E.g. i have created a formula variable zvar , (replacement path type) ref. char is wbselement, then what will be the value of the zvar if its used in a formula
eg. Formula 1 = kef1 kef2zvar.
what will be the value(s) of the variables in the these cases
1. project = 1000,1000.30.
2.project = 2000,2000.30.01
3.proect = 3000,3000.30.01,3000.30.02.
3.) as per the def. its a number which refer to a wbs, then in the FORMULA , will it consider the zvar as a VALUE or what would happen?
Edited by: jumboash on Oct 23, 2009 7:25 PM

Hi,
ZVAR is not considered as value in the calculation. It is used only to calculate the formula correctly without aggregation of the operands.
For example there are two materials m1 and m2 . total amount has to be calculated for these materials whose quantitys are 10 and 20 and whose prices are 200 and 300 respectively.
Case1:- if ZVAR is not used then the calculation of the fromula will be as follows
qty   Price    amount
10 * 200   = 2000
20 * 300   = 6000
30 * 500 = 15000     ->   The total amount shows is 15000 which is not correct
Case 2: - if ZVAR is used in the calculation of the formula
qty   Price    amount
10 * 200   = 2000
20 * 300   = 6000
                   8000   -> The total amount shows is 8000 which is correct
so using the ZVAR in the formula shows the correct result without considering the aggregation . This is useful in the case if the material is not part of rows.
