Equipment - Class Characteristics restriction

Hello,
I would like to get some insight and the way of proceeding further for the below requirement. We have two characteristics defined in CT04 for Equipment - Manufacturer and Model Number.
Example
Manufacturer can have values like ABC, XYZ, JUO.....
Model Number can have values like 123 Model, 124 Model, 125 Model. 126 Model
My first requirement is - I need to have defined the Manufacturer and Model Number in tables, and refer that custom table in CT04 (I think I can use value check against table) option. Is this is the correct way?
My second req is - For example if I choose ABC from Manufacturer then only 125 Model and 126 Model should show up on Model Number Characteristic - how to achieve this? I have given an example of values here, but in runtime it could be dynamic, so not sure how to write Dependancy here
Any help is much appreciated!
Regards,
Justin.          

Hi Justin,
For your first requirement - Yes, you can use the option check against table but only drawback here is that the table you are referring should have one primary key and not more than that(Check this).
Second requirement - If you have two characteristics for manufacturer & model, then this not possible. Instead you can have one characteristic for both and maintain model numbers as sub-characteristic values for each of the manufacturer value.

Ravi

  • Equipment, classes, characteristics, values

    Hello,
    I'm trying to list out all equipments that have classes assigned to them and i also want to see which characteristics and values are valid for that equipment. I want to have that in one overview.
    transaction CL6BN comes very close, but i can not make a download from that transaction to excel (at least i can not find the option)
    Does anyone know a transaction or table (table join) where i can find the needed information?
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Kind regards,
    Peter

    Hello Riyaj,
    Thank you for the swift reply. It seems like a good solution. When go to the menu option i get the pop-up with the following classes:
    AP06
    P0103
    AP01
    P0101
    AP05
    F0102
    F0101
    P0106
    P0108
    P0109
    P0112
    AP03
    P0105
    AP04
    CE01
    G0101
    G0102
    G0103
    Does this mean that of all the equipments in the list, only these classes are applicable to those equipments? I can not imagine, because if i check the class list, 182 equipment classes are supposed to be assigned...

  • Need link between Equipment- class- characteristics- values...

    Hi Guys,
    As per the customers requirement I have to list down all the equipments along with the respective corresponding values. The equipments are linked to the Characteristics by class type and class and then characteristics and then the the values that are assigned.
    I am aware that the characteristics and the values are saved in the CABN and CAWN table and the link between them us the internal number.
    Can any one please suggest me if there is a way to find a table link for equipment which are assignd to a Class type and hence a class and then these characteristics in CABN and values in CAWN.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Equipment class and charecterstics

    Hi SAP specialists,
    We are in the process of creating class and characteristics for equipments in my company. Please advise if there is a table of possible classes and characteristics that can be referred to while creating class and charecteristics.
    I understand many companies refer to a catalog of class-characteristic to select the combination that is applicable to them.
    Your valuable inputs are greatly appreciated.
    Regards,

    Dear Sridhara
    Actually the classes are mainatined according to class type & not according to equipment category (equipment type). So i think it is not possible to maintain it according to equipment category & there is no such table wich will maintain the classes according to equipment type.
    Yes you can create the Z table & update it while creating the classes under equipment class type & maintain it according to equipment category (Equipment type). But it is Z Development & not standard one.
    I hope this will answer your query.

  • Why Class characteristics req in QM

    Hi QM Gurus,
    I have inspection plan with MIC it is working very well.
    But some of  them told you can use class characteristics with MIC.
    My question is.
    1. What is the use of class characteristics?
    2. why it is assign to MIC.
    Please clarify....
    Regards,
    Babu.S

    Dear Singh,
    >1. What is the use of class characteristics?
    It migrates the results recorded to the Batch Class.
    >2. why it is assign to MIC.
    Class Characteristic is assign to...
    - 1. Batch Class, and this batch class is assigned to Material
    - 2. With reference to this Class Characteristic, an MIC is created, and this MIC is getting assigned to the Inspection Plan/ Material Specification of the Material.
    - Now when the RR is done for these MIC, in the inspection lot for the Material, the Values of Result, Migrates to the Batch, in the Batch Class.
    To test the scenario
    - Create a Characteristic (CT04)
    - Create a Batch Class (CL02)
    - Assign the Characteristic to the Batch Class.
    - Assign the Batch Class to Material.
    - Create an MIC, using the Characteristic (QS21)
    - Assign the MIC to the Inspection Plan (QP01)/ Material Specification (QS61), of the Material.
    - Create an Inspection Lot for the Material, have new Batch.
    - Perform RR and UD.
    - Now go to MMBE,MM02,BMBC,MSC3N, and check the value of the Result is Migrated here in the Batch, under Batch Class.
    NOTE:-. It will not work if the material is not Batch Managed.
    Let me know the progress.
    Have Happy Week End!!!!!!!!

  • Transfer of Material Class characteristics into Batch

    Hello,
    Is there a way to transfer the material specific class characteristics ( maintained in material class 001) into Batch, while creating a new batch?
    For e.g. for Material A, i have Material Class Characteristic = COLOR, with a value RED.
    So if i create a new Batch for Material A, the COLOR characteristic in Batch should get defaulted to RED, instead of manually entering.
    Pl let us know, if this is possible.
    Regards,
    Mangesh
    P.S: I know there is Default check at the characteristic value level, but that doesn't help, as each material will have different value.

    Dear,
    You can use function module exit EXIT_SAPLV01Z_014  SAP enhancement SAPLV1ZN when assigning characteristic values to batches with EXTENDED_CLASSIFYING parameter. You use this to classify user-defined characteristics in the background when creating a new batch using the central function module VB_CREATE_BATCH during activated batch classification.
    Refer IMG>Batch Mngmt>Characteristics Value Assignment>...using function module
    Please try and come back.

  • Equipment Class Table

    Hi,
    I would like to ask what are the tables related to equipment class? When I go to IE03 then enter the equipment number and click classfication, there's a class number for that equipment. I'm using tables EQUI, EQUZ but I don't know what and how these tables will be linked to equipment class number. Your response is highly much appreciated.
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi,
    If you want to get the characteristic values from the equipement class->
    Try EQUI-EQUNR as OBJEK of AUSP table and
    Also use EQUI-CUOBJ in IBIN-INSTANCE - > IBIN-IN_RECNO to IBINVALUES-IN_RECNO
    then IBINVALUES-SYMBOLID to IBSYMBOL-SYMBOLID.
    You can also use BAPI 'BAPI_OBJCL_GETCLASSES'.

  • Class , Characteristics and Reference

    Hi,
    can someone please explain me the concept of Class , Characteristics & Reference usage in PM module?
    Also related T-codes.
    Regards,
    Ram

    Hello Ram,
    Please go through this eBook for theoretical aspects CACLCHR
    Also go through all links here in SAP Help
    Take Tcodes from this page Tcodes (Tcodes starting with 'C' are more relevant for PM).
    Now, few lines about concept in SAP-PM usage:
    A class identifies a group of Equipments having identical specification parameters (ex. AC Squirrel Cage Induction Motor). So Equipments of all such motors are assigned this class. (Class is created with CL02). The parameters I mentioned (Current, RPM, KW etc, etc) are called Characteristics in SAP. (These are created with CT04). The characteristics created so, are then assigned to the class (CL02). The Equipments assigned such class will show these characteristics (in the Classification push button in IE02/IE03) and you will enter the characteristic values there. For ex.few equipments will have 11 KW, 18A, 1440RPM  and some 7.5KW, 12A, 950 RPM and so on. After having this master data exercise, you can search the equipments by the Characteristic values through Tcode IE05. Also, go through the Tcodes given above.
    Classes are used across modules, so it has Types. (002 is for PM, 001 is for Materials and so on)

  • Use OBJCLASS object of Emigall for  Class & characteristics creation in FL

    Hi Fritz,
    Good day,
    I want to use OBJCLASS object of Emigall for
    Class and characteristics cration of Functional Location, The object is
    desiged for Equipment only,
    I read the document of this object which says
    that it can be modify to use for functional location as well by changing
    some rule, I tried by changing the field "Name of database table for
    object" from the standard which is made for DEVICE/EQUIPMENT
    I need your help to modify the rule to use this object for class and
    characterstic creation for Functional Location, the migration object field is set to Device
    which I want to change to FUNCLOC  but that field is not modifiable.
    Can you help me Fritz
    Regards,

    Robert,
    Yes you are right. The following changes have to be made:
    HEADER-OBJECT_TYPE need to be set to IFLOT (Fixed Value or Transfer field rule)
    DATA-FIELD need to be set to TPLNR  (Fixed Value or Transfer field rule)
    DATA-VALUE need to be set to either CONNOBJ or DEVLOC (Via KSM field rule)

  • Equipment class assigning with equipment

    Dear PM experts,
    I have created characteristics and class for equipment under class type 002. While assigning the class to equipment master system throws a message that "No assignment find for class type 002". What is missing.
    Is any configuration is required for assigning the class with the equipment? . Pls let me know the solution.
    Thanks in advance.
    Chandru

    Hi Chandru,
    Check in the class whether you have assigned the charecteristics or not?
    the process is like this.
    first you create a Class with type 002, say Motor
    Then Create the charecteristics for the Motor in CT04, it would specs of the motor, like capacity, Current required etc..
    Then assign these Charecteristics to the classs motor in CL02.
    Now assign this class to the Equipment master.
