How can I set user-defined characteristics's range in pa cycle's receiver?

I created user-defined characteristics in PA which have no check validation.
When I create PA assessment cycle, I want to set it's range in cycle's receivers side.
User-defined characteristics in PA which have no check validation don't have range selection function in cycle's receivers side.
How can I set it's range in cycle's receivers side ?

Hi,
You can do the same by creating SETS. You can create the same from header menu at the time of entering receivers during creation of assessment cycles.

User Defined Characteristics for Operating Concern.

Hi All...,
I got the total list of characteristics from the core team for the Operating Concern.
Now some of the characteristics are there in the possible entries or Selection Box. Where as for the rest, we have to create manually with User Defined Parameters.
While creating the new characteristics in KEA0 with User defined option, it is not allowing me to enter the ORIGIN & CHECK TABLE, where it is taking the one default value T25**.
Now how can I create the new characteristics.
Regards.,
Raja

Hi,
When you create the new Characteristic, just input the Description, Short text & heading & the data type & length. When you click on save, system prompts you with a message " New check tables should be created for certain chars.
How should the entry of numbers for this table take place?"
Click on Automatic and the system will populate the ABAP dictionary & the Check Table, Text Table & Text field values.
If you create a Characteristic with reference to a SAP table, the Origin table & the Origin field values will get populated automatically. Origin is not relevant , if you select the User defined option while creating new Characteristics.
Assign points if useful.

User defined characteristics for planning hierarchy

Hi Experts,
I am using flexible planning for sales planning when I define a planning hierarchy, I want to include a user defined field also.
The requirement is like this, Planner wanted to see the cumulative sales figures of domestic and exports (Exports will be to more than one country. So I cant use countries for this).
How can I do this?
Request your expert advice.
Regards

Hi Ram,
Thanks for the reply. Since Iam using flexible planning, I will be creating a user defined info structure. But my question is can I include a custom defined characteristic also in the hierarchy which is not available in the field catalogs for characteristics system is showing?
If so where should I define this characteristics first before assigning to the information structure.
Thanks & Regards

CO-PA User Defined Characteristics

Hi
I have created several user defined characteristcs. When entering jouranls I need only two of them to be displayed and allowed for entry. At the moment all the new characteristics that I created are being displayed under "Proft.Segment. How can I restrict it?
Thanks

Hi,
Please create Char Group in KEPA and make the two feild mandatory in it
Then assign it to the transaction type RFBU in KE4G or to record type/trans type in KEVG2....
Now , Supress all other CO objects to this GL account from the field status group in OBC4 and allow only PSG (prof segment).. Make default setting to PSG in OKB9....
Now, system wont allow to post to this GL w/o PSG being populated and the PSG screen will not proceed w/o the two fileds.

COPA user-defined charact. w. own value maint. with existing check-table

Dear Experts,
I need to create a user-defined characteristic with own value maintenance with the pecularity that it needs to refer to the same check table as another user-defined characteristic with own value maintenance.
Could anybody explain me how I can do that?
Thanks in advance for your kind support.
Best Regards,
Eric

Hi Eric,
Generally when you are creating user defined charachteristic with own value maintainance check table is created by the system. So you requirement is not possible to achieve. As a workaounr you can create two char as you want and then copy the content of the first check table to the second one. This will have the same impact as what you have described.

COPA User defined Characteristic - Region

Hello - I have a requirement to capture Region from Ship to party, so I am trying to create a 'user defined' characteristic . The underlying reason to have chek table is I want to be able to put some values for this characteristic in a cycle to do cost assessment based on certain values.
I have selected ' with reference to existing values' because I want system to generate check table etc. So I am referencing to 'RIGIO' data element. I am getting following message ' Data element REGIO is already used for REGIO' even if I create characteristic with warnings, I am not able add to operating concern.
Any suggestions
Thanks
Chris.

Hi
After you create and Activate the Char in KEA5,
1. Go to KEA0
2. Click on Display / Change data structure
3. Click on Change view... It will show list of chars on the right hand side...
4. Push the user defined char from Right to Left side..
5. Save And Activae (Click on the Candle icon)
6. Press back button and Confirm the pop up to regenerate op concern
7. Include it in transport request from KE3I...

User Defined Characteristics not populating for Batch during GR of SC PO

We have a requirement to populate the one characteristic ( Country of origin ) of batch during GR.
After GR the characteristics value should be displayed in Classification Tab of MSC3N transaction.
So that I have implemented the Enhancement MBCFC004 .
Two conditions here for Populating the Country of Origin
1) During GR of Standard Purchase Order the Characteristics (Country of Origin) value should be mseg-oic_oland1 ( Country from Extenal Details )
    For this condition the User Exit code is working perfectly and also updating classification in MSC3N .
    NO ISSUE for Standard Purchase Order.
2) During GR of Subcontract Purchase Order the Characteristics (Country of origin value ) should be populated from the characteristics value of Batch of
      component Material .
    For this condition the User Exit Code is working perfectly , But NOT updating classifcation in MSC3N .
    This happens for Subcontract PO.
Can anyone suggest solution , why this happening for Subcontract Purchase Order.

Hi Sumit,
I am not sure about your question, but if you want to populate the classification data during goods receipt then you need to maintain characteristics values in material master for classification tab under class type batch i.e. 022. After then it will apper during goods receipt for characteristics value for batch.

To change User defined Value field from Amount to Quantity in COPA

I have created a created a User defined Characteristics VV930 - Number of labor hours. While creating, i wrongly assigned the chategory Amount instead of Quantity.
Now when i am trying to change it is giving me errors.
Also it is not allowing to delete and recreate the new VV930 with category as Quatity.
No data is posted in COPA.

Hi Rupesh
1. Remove it from your COPA data structure in KEA0... Shift it from Left to right in data structure screen... Then try to delete it
2. Else, reserve this Value Field for future use and change the name as of now to XXXXXX...Create a new Qty Field for your use now.

BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHANGE2 - Characteristic Number of User-Defined Data Type

We are using classifications in the DMS system (it is the same classification system as the sales order and a few other transaction types). We also have defined our own characteristic data types. If we manually go into CV01n and enter in values into the user defined characteristics everything works fine. However, if I specify them in BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHANGE2 the values are not created/stored. I get a null return on the return parameter so there isn't a warning nor is there an error.
Is there another way to set these values as it doesn't look like it will work with BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHANGE2?

Davis

Problem after uploading user defined characterstic schema in product catalo

Hi friends,
We were using SRM 5.0 and CCM 2.0, we were uploaded Master catalog through .CSV file, Product catalog schema through .XML and user defined characteristic schema through .XML file separately. System given message catalog updated successfully. But when I observed in product catalog user defined characteristics are removed from the product catalog the content of these fields is also wiped out from the items. Once the catalog was in this state, I mapped it to the Master Catalog and all the user defined characteristics show up in error. What could be the cause?? can any body Help (Urgent)
Thanks in advance
Srinivas

Hi
<u>Please go through the following SAP OSS Note / link -></u>

Time Conversion - DataSource to User Defined Time Char w/Ref

Hi, I have a Transformation into a DSO and i have created User Defined Time Char w/Ref.
ZSSDCALW     0CALWEEK     Sched Ship Yr / Week
ZSSDCALM     0CALMONTH     Sched Ship Yr / Mon
ZSSDCALM2     0CALMONTH2     Sched Ship Month
ZSSDCALY     0CALYEAR     Sched Ship Year
ZSSDCALQ     0CALQUARTER     Sched Ship Yr / Qtr
ZSSDCALQ1     0CALQUART1     Sched Ship Quarter
The source of these fields is not an InfoObject for an InfoObject to InfoObject assignment. The source of these fields is a date field zzschedate from 2LIS_11_VAITM and are currently set to direct assignment.
In the Transformation assignment only the 1st 2 new fields (ZSSDCALW and ZSSDCALM) show up with the Conversion Exit PERI6. The others do not show a conversion exit being assigned. Note: I read something about Function RST_TOBJ_TO_DERIVED_TOBJ, but not sure if this comes into the equation automatically.
Questions:
Can I directly assign the date field into all of these user-defined characteristics and conversion will automatically take place?
Or will it do it incorrectly because they are user defined date fields with reference?

I just wrote the routines in ABAP to finalize this question

User defined field in SD and its link to Value field in COPA (??)

Dear All,
We have created one "Z" field i.e. user defined field and its in VBRP Table. This is a quantity field. to update the values in this field we have used an exit in sales and distribution module. Now, by defining this exit values are correctly populated in VPRP table on line item basis.
Requirement here is we need to get this field in COPA, for same i have carried out the quantity field assignment to value field (KE4M).
Even after this configuration profitability segment is not updated.
Regards,
Sayujya

In the past I did something similar and had to use function module EXIT_SAPLKEAB_001 in enhancement COPA0002 to populate the field. To use this exit you'll first need to add a user exit id to your valuation strategy (transaction KE4U). The help on the function module is pretty good, but if you run into a problem let me know.
thanks,
