Customer classification - use class type 011 or copy?

Hi - We have a requirement for some customers to have additional information stored w/them and are planning on using the Classification system.
We have already created and are using one class under class type 011 for a different purpose / different set of data.
I know I can create a new class under existing/standard class type 011; however I am wondering if there is any benefit to creating a new class type, for example, Z11 by copying 011 and creating my new class under type Z11?
I'm asking because I have seen, in the case of material, multiple "Z" class types for further describing materials, each with one class instead of multiple classes under standard class types.
Thank you - Matt

dear Matt,
do you really need to create a new class type?
look, before to proceed take into account that class type determines the following:
which object types you can assign to a class
which class maintenance functions you can process
whether you can classify objects in more than one class
which class statuses, organizational areas, and text types are supported in class maintenance functions
whether you can use engineering change management for classification
which filter functions you can use to restrict the search result
good luck!

Batch Classification by class type 022

Hi all,
We are using batch management at material level and present class type 023. We are looking at changing the class type to 022 as we need some information to be retained at plant level.
While creating class for class type 022 the system gives an error " Internal class type 022 cannot be used in class maintenance
Message no. CL089"
Can somebody let me know the reason and solution for this error? Is it due to the fact that we have set the batch at material level?
Also, it would b great if someone can share his/her experience in changing batch clases, even class conversion.
Best Regards,
VS

Hi VS,
I think that you should change the customizing first. Class types 022 and 023 can not be created simultaneously. It is either 022 or 023.
Be careful : I did it long time ago but there is one way you can do (023 to 022 or 022 to 023 I don't remember) but you cannot reverse it.

About Batch classification(Of class type 023) in new batch

hi:
   I had assigned a batch class 'ZBC'(Of class type 023) to material 'A'. So, when I use t-code "msc1n" to creat a new batch for the materia A, I find the system does not check the 'classification' view ,and after maintaing 'Basic Data1' view , I can directly save new batch even if the values of batch character is empty.I had specified the batch characer must be entry value in the batch class 'ZBC'(Of class type 023).
    I want to system check it ,and give me a message for it ,and couldn't save the batc if the values of batch character is empty.
   So ,I wonder how to control it?

Dear Amitabha,
Thans for you attention.
In my characteristics definition, I didn't use any reference table field . the values of 'addnl data' view in the characteristic is keeping blank.

How to change material classification for class type 023

Hi Expert,
I want to change class ZSK_EXPIRY_DATE to ZSKK_GR_DATE under class type 023 in classfication tab (MM02). Understand that the same class also assigned to material and batch in MSC3N. So i'm sure it's not as easy asdo the direct change in CL20N. Can i anyone please guide me step by step to change it? What is the pre-requisite and the impact of the change that i have to care of..
Thanks/Regards,

Hi Crystal,
You consume all the materials created with the earlier batch classification and then try to change it. or keep the assinged class and then create your new required class and then assign the new class to the material in classification view and start using the new one.

Hi Yogesh,
Hi,
sorry to reply after the message closure.
Maybe you will read it.
SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL is used in standard during the maintenance of a consumer using the standard customer master data transaction XD01 & XD02.
It is not intended to be used out of the transaction and in no case it should be used out of its original context. Due to the specificity of the function module, out of the original context we may face limitations and data inconsistencies.
For the maintenance of customers, there is NO BAPI and NO direct function module.
There are some functions modules like the one above where the name is looking nice. But these should not be used.
BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1 is part of them. This one uses SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL, so the above remark is still valid. Moreover, this BAPI is to be used only from process SAP Product Catalog. Out of it and due to its limitation, a lot of troubles are expected.
Sorry.
Below ECC 2005 (6.00), the only solution was batch input and DEBMAS idocs. See [note 384462|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/384462]
Starting with ECC 2005 (6.00) and above: a synchronisation tool has been introduce. See class CMD_EI_API and VMD_EI_API
Hope this helps.

Choose a class type which is allowed for variant configuration.
Thanks

Thanks for ur reply.
please help me regarding my requirements
I will have to use the varient configuration. In this scenario multilevel BOM BOMis present & for every level varient is present.
so how to map this scenario, so that it should pop up at the time of sales order creation. i.e. it should ask that which varient should be used at all the levels in the BOM.
Thanks & Regards.

Class type in release procedure

Dear gurus,
pls explain class type significance in release procedure?

Purpose
The class type is a central concept in the classification system. The class type determines how classes are processed, and how objects can be classified and retrieved in these classes. In Customizing for Classification, you define the settings for a class type. You define class types for a specific object type, such as materials. You can then use classes of this class type to classify objects of this object type.
When you first create a class, you must enter a class type for the class. Each class type is a closed system. There is no link between the different class types.
Features
The class type determines the following:
Which object types you can assign to a class
Which class maintenance functions you can process
Whether you can classify objects in more than one class
Which class statuses, organizational areas, and text types are supported in class maintenance functions
Whether you can use engineering change management for classification
Which filter functions you can use to restrict the search result
Class types 001, 300, and 200 are defined for materials. In Customizing for Classification, you define the settings for a class type.
All materials can be classified with class type 001. Class type 300 is for variant configuration. Class type 200 is for classes that are used as class items in bills of material. You can classify the same materials separately in these class types.
You can use class type 012 to classify characteristics. This class type is defined only has the Keywords, Characteristics, and Texts screens in class maintenance functions. You can only classify characteristics in characteristics maintenance functions you cannot use the assignment functions in the classification menu. In this case the indicator Classify master record only was set. No organizational areas were maintained for the characteristics. For this reason, if you create a class of class type 012, you cannot select any organizational areas.
hope it gives you some information.
Regards
Seema

Stopping Characteristic replication for R3 to CRM for class type NE 300

Hi,
Now the Object ATTRIBUTE/CLASS/OBJCL are activated. In the filer for ATTRIBUTE, we have the below filter
Table Field      OP                                      Low      High                            Incl/Excl
KSML KLART EQ Equality (= Low)           023                                          I Inclusive defined set/array
KSML KLART EQ Equality (= Low)           026                                          I Inclusive defined set/array
But the requirement to tranfer to CRM only the Charcteritics of the class type is 300 only.
Then I made the below settings
Table Field      OP                                      Low      High                            Incl/Excl
KSML KLART EQ Equality (= Low)            300       300                            I Inclusive defined set/array
But even after , when I creare a characteritics in ECC through CT04 with class type 001, its still replicating to CRM. Is there is any object in which I need to do this??
We have not any class type 023 amd 026 in ECC and not sure why it was configured earlier (IN 2006) and in the note 618191-R/3 data exchange of classification data (class type 23).also they are saying 023.
Can anyone pl clarify.
Regards
A.Sureshbabu.

Hi,
We have the middleware Object ATTRIBUTE/CLASS/OBJCL are activated.
In all the objects we have filter as below
Table Field OP Low High Incl/Excl
KSML KLART EQ 023 I
KSML KLART EQ 026 I
But therequirement is to tranfer to CRM only the Charcteritics of the class type is
300.
Then I made the below settings
Table Field OP Low High Incl/Excl
KSML KLART EQ 300 300 I
But even after , when I create a characteritics in ECC through CT04
with class type 001, its still replicating to CRM. Is there is any
object in which I need to do this to stop my Chararistics replication
of the class type not equal to 300;

IN MATERIAL MASTER RECORD WHAT IS THE USE OF CLASS TYPE(CLASSIFICATION VIEW

Hi Guys,
Can you please explain what are the different critiria to use different class type and what exactly meaning of the each class type with respect to Material classification.
Any material available on this to study. Please give link.
Thanks,
Dhanu

Hi,
Purpose
The classification system allows you to use characteristics to describe all types of objects, and to group similar objects in classes u2013 to classify objects, in other words, so that you can find them more easily later.
You then use the classes to help you to find objects more easily, using the characteristics defined in them as search criteria. This ensures that you can find objects with similar or identical characteristics as quickly as possible.
Integration
The classification system allows you to classify all types of object. First, you must define certain settings in Customizing for the classification system. For more information, see Customizing for the Classification System.
SAP has predefined a number of object types (for example, materials, and equipment). The settings for these object types have already been defined in Customizing, so you can start to set up your classification system for these object types without defining further settings.
Features
Before you can use classification functions, you need to set up your classification system.
The there are three steps to setting up a classification system:
Defining the Properties of Objects
You use characteristics to describe the properties of objects. You create characteristics centrally in the SAP R/3 System.
See the SAP Library, Characteristics (CA-CL-CHR).
Creating Classes
You need classes to classify objects. These classes must be set up. During set up you must assign characteristics to the classes.
Assigning Objects
Once you have created the classes you require for classification, you can assign objects to these classes. You use the characteristics of the class to describe the objects you classify.
This completes the data you require to use your classification system. You can then use your classification system to find objects that match the criteria you require.
Once you have set up the classification system you can use it to find certain objects. To do this:
Find a class in which objects are classified
Find the object(s) you require in the class
When you use classification to find objects, you use the characteristics as search criteria, and the system compares the values you enter with the values of the classified objects.
