Extracting classification data

We would like to extract data that is maintianed in the Charactreistic value filed for a given class.
For example : For a given Class say 'ABC' we have a Characteristic as 'EFG' and the value is maintained as 'Y' or 'N' .
We would like to extract the 'Y' or 'N' into BI.
Explaining how to use the classification data sources in this scenario would be really helpful.
Require your help to suggest alternatives.

Hi Roberto,
I'm not sure if I understood your suggestion:
With this option, Do I have to enhance Extract structure of 1CL_AEST001, to append the custom field, and to fill it with R/3 user-exit?. In this way, I still have assigned this Datasource to an InfoSource, I cannot assign it again.
Or Do you mean that I need to create a generic text Datasource for ZSTYLE_TEXT and fill it with the same Abap code that uses the generated Datasource 1CL_AEST001?.
Thank you!!

Extracting classification data in BW

Hi experts,
We are extracting data from R/3 classification system into BW for 0MATERIAL.
We have followed the steps in R/3 for generate DataSources through the transaction SBIW. Then in BW, we have replicated the DataSources, created de InfoObjects for the new attributes and assign these InfoObjects to 0MATERIAL, but we do not which are the following steps to extract the data.
Could anybody tell us the next steps for extracting classification data??
We will be very grateful.
Thanks.

For your 1CL_***** datasource the basic datasource should be 0MATERIAL_ATTR. If so when you replicate the DS to BW and do CTBW_META the datasource will be assigned automatically to 0MATERIAL.
Go to the 0MATERIAL Datasource and in the dropdown it will be 0MATERIAL_ATTR and then 0MATERIAL_TXT and the third one will be the 1CL_****.
Choose that and then propose the transfer rule. This DS will provide value for the classification characteristics for the attribute you defined.
if it helpful reward points are appreciated

Extract Classification data from R/3 for XI

Hi all
I am currently interning with a corporation and am stuck at a crucial point.
I tried using MATMAS/MATMAS05 and CLFMAS/CLFMAS02 for extracting the classification data from R/3 systems. i want to primarily generate valid iDoc's and transport them to XI later.
However, everytime I run the extraction object MATERIAL_EXTRACT from mdm_clnt_extr, the iDoc's generated have no classification data...
am stuck ppl... my colleagues say i should try looking for a new extractor for CLFMAS specifically..
Please help.

HI,
Guess I did not state the problem clear enough.
The T-Table incorporates only the material number. I need to get different classification fields for all relevant materials.
So I am looking for a way to extract the classification data associated with the material numbers in my Z-table.
Anybody got an Idea?
Thanks for your help,

Extract the classification data into internal table

Hi all,
I having requirement to extract classification data for material number.
1) Provide the selection option for material number (MATNR).
2) Based on the material number, then extract all that data into internal table as below layout. My problem is how to retrieve the following data from different table based on the MATNR (material number).
Please provide the sample code for select the following data. Thanks.
Classification table
OBJEK (from AUSP table)
MAFID (from AUSP table)
KLART (from AUSP table)
CLASS (from KLAH table)
ATWRT (from AUSP table)
MSEHI (from CABN table)
OBTAB (check if class type=002, set it as MARA)
STDCL (from KSSK table)

Hi,
if I understand, you´re trying to get information from the classification system for the material. You can use the following code:
DATA: clases LIKE TABLE OF sclass WITH HEADER LINE,
      datos LIKE TABLE OF clobjdat WITH HEADER LINE.
CALL FUNCTION 'CLAF_CLASSIFICATION_OF_OBJECTS'
     EXPORTING
          class              = 'DESK'               "clase a buscar
          classtype          = '001'                "tipo de la clase
          features           = 'X'
          language           = sy-langu
          object             = 'PM00A000C055'       "Material
          objecttable        = 'MARA'
          key_date           = sy-datum
          initial_charact    = 'X'
          change_service_clf = 'X'
     TABLES
          t_class            = clases
          t_objectdata       = datos
     EXCEPTIONS
          no_classification = 1
          no_classtypes      = 2
          invalid_class_type = 3
          OTHERS             = 4.
loop at datos.
endloop.

Load 'Material Classification' data in to BW from R/3

Hi all,
We want to load the 'Material Classification' data in to BW from R/3. There is no 'Classification' tab with Tcode 'MM03' in R/3. We have very little MM functionality on R/3 with just MARA table. I have to start from the scratch on R/3 side. We don't have any MM Functional consultant.
I read the 'Understand the R/3 Classification System and How to Extract Classification Data into BW' document from BWExpertOnline. It will help on creating the DataSource.
How can I do the Material Classification on R/3 side and what is the best way to proceed on it?
If any one has worked on this type of request, could you please pass any document or share their knowledge, PLEASE ?
Thanks.

Do you know what classification data you want to define/add in the R/3 system? I think it is not a technical exercise, more of a functional work where you first have to determine your classification requirements and configure the system accordingly. Do you know what classification you want to use (any examples of how you want a particular material to be classified)? If not, this is not going to work without functional help.
You can explore the config part in SPRO->Cross-application>Classification, and setup the data for classification from main R/3 menucross-application componentsclassification systemmaster data (characteristics, classes).

Reporting On Classification Data Out Of Material Master Inquiry (MM03)

I have a question for anyone who can help. Getting classification data out of SAP table is not straight foreward as most other data in MM03. Has anyone ever extracted classification data ?? If so, how ??
Thank-You
Jeff

hello there,
were you able to obtain any information on your query? I have a similar requirement and I'd be grateful if you could help.
Thanks,

Second thought about extracting classification characteristics values

Hello expert:
     I have a question about uploading material classification data into BW, I know I can extract this classification data by new datasource set up by transaction CTBW. this is the normal way to extract classification data . I just want to do it in another way technically. My question is : can I enhance some BC datasources such as : 0EC_PCA_3, in this way, I will do this enhancement as follows:
   (1) enhance transaction DS by classification characteristics , such as 0EC_PCA_3.
   (2) customize master DSes for classification characteristics.
   (3) create infoobject in BW corresponding to classification characteristics
   (4) put those infoobjects into the same dimension as material in the infocube which is the datatarget for 0EC_PCA_3
   (5) load master data for those infoobjects for classification characteristics
   (6) load transaction data for enhanced transaction DS 0EC_PCA_3
by the procedure, I also can get the information for those classification characteristics, please correct me .
Many Thanks.

Hi,
You can use CMOD to enhance 0MATERIAL_ATTR as an alternative to CTBW transaction but keep in mind that Material classification has to do with master data.
That is the main reason why enhancing transactional data datasources with master data attributes should be avoided if possible. Even if you need to report on historical truth, you can accomplish it by using Read master data feature on transformations (for example, when you load your InfoCube, you can read material classification master data from 0MATERIAL instead of 0EC_PCA_3).

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,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmdm71/helpdata/en/4b/72b8e7a42301bae10000000a42189b/MDMImportManager71.pdf
You can also use predefined import map for pre-delivered repositories like Material, Product etc.

How to Extract R/3 Multiple Valued variant Classification Data in BI

Dear Gurus,
                    got stuck in a situation where I am in need of your help. My Client want to extract the R3 Classification Data(Variant, Batch) into BI. I will share till what point I had reached. Used Transaction Code CTBW, was Trying to create Datasource based on Basic datasource 2LIS_11_VAITM for transactional Data. when I was trying to add the new Characteristics (CVN_L_AVG_SH) using Class with type 300(Variant), Getting an error "Characteristic has Multiple Values". I do know that Characteristics (CVN_L_AVG_SH and a fewmore) is having Multiple values, how can I add the same so that I can create classification datasource. Tried SDN got a PDF " How to Extract R/3 Classification Data in BI by Affine" but didn't helped Much.
Looking ahead to hear from you.

Hi Harsha,
You cannot extract the multiple values using classification data sources, this data can be extracted by creating a generic extractor based on a view (with join on tables AUSP and INOB). this extractor brings the data in the following format.
OBJEK | ATINN | ATZHL | ATWRT
1 | HOBBY | 1 | CRICKET
1 | HOBBY | 2 | PAINTING
1 | HOBBY | 3 | READING
2 | HOBBY | 1 | CRICKET
2 | HOBBY | 2 | PAINTING
3 | HOBBY | 1 | READING
i.e. for field Hobby these are values assigned, if you want you can create 3 InfoObjects in BW and flatten this data by setting flags as below.
OBJEK | HOBBY_CRICKET | HOBBY_PAINTING | HOBBY_READING
1 | X | X | X |
2 | X | X |    |
3 |    |    | X |
Let me know if you need more details.

Classification data extraction

Hi experts,
I am looking for the document or steps to extract the classfication data say for example material classification.
Thanks in advance
sai

Hi,
Please follow the steps below :
Tcoce: CTBW
Procedure:
1. Enter a basis data source that you want to extend.
2. Select the client, class type, and object table from which you want
to copy classification data.
3. Select the data source to which you want to assign characteristics,
then choose Characteristics.
4. Choose New entries and enter the characteristics you want to assign.
5. If you want to define a sequence for the characteristics, enter position numbers.
4. Statuses are assigned automatically: N = New: this status appears before a new data source has been created.
R = Ready: the status is converted to this status after generation. If you change a characteristic, reset the status to N before generation.
Choose Data source to generate the data source. This also generates the characteristic data sources for characteristics of data type CHAR.
An internal key starting with "1CL_..." is assigned as a data sourcename.

Classification data extraction questions

Hai All,
I have few questions regarding the classification data extraction from R/3 to BW.
Does anybody know if I can do the following(classification data sources in CTBW):
1. Extraction of Characters that permit multiple value valuations
2. Extraction of characters intended for intervals
3. I know that only FULL update is supported for classification data as of BW 2x. Does anybody know if deltas are supported in any of the new versions upto BI 7.0?
I appreciate if any body can answer these questions or refer to documentation or SAP notes.
Thank you very much.

hi,
please take a look
1. oss note 604412
Symptom
The selection after the key field during the extraction of the classification data from the class type that permits several objects (MULTOBJ = .X in table TCLA) does not work. The selection only works in such a case if an object number (CUOBJ from table INOB) is entered as a selection criterion.
Other terms
OBJEK, CTBW, RSA3, extractor checker
Reason and Prerequisites
This is caused by a program error.
Solution
Implement the source code corrections.
3. delta should be supported since 'old' version, see 'old' oss note 323412-Create change pointers for BW
(other notes for delta problem 410741, 413130)
DataSources, Symptom
You must implement this correction if you also want to use the DataSources of the classification, that are created using Transaction CTBW, for delta uploads.
Additional key words
CTBW_BW_CHANGE_POINTERS, ALE
Cause and prerequisites
Making DataSources delta compatable for the BW.
Solution
Program enhancement in update of the classification.

CLASSIFICATION DATA to BI

Hi,
How can I configure a data source in ERP system that will extract Material CLASSIFICATION DATA to BI
I think there is method we use to generate data source other than RSO2 to extract CLASSIFICATION DATAu2026u2026and steps in BI

you have to create classification datasource via CTBW in R/3 system...
check this link..

Extractor to get Classification data from R3 (specifically AUSP table)

Hello,
I have a requirement to get classification data from R3 to BW.
I have explored the following post
Classification data extraction
which discusses steps to get the datsource created using transaction CTBW
However this approaches requires us to specifiy the *fixed list of characteristics required.
So when new characteristic are added we would again have to regenerate the datasource and update the data flow in BI.
We need to get the entire classification data to BI. In our case it is possible to get new characteristics added in R/3 periodically and which would need to come to BI seamlessly.
Did anyone have a similar requirement in the past ? Are there any BADI, BTEs I could use?
Thanks
-Saif

Hi Saif,
datasources created with CTBW do extract one row for each classified object. Therefore CTBW generates an extract structure based on the set of characteristics which have been specified there. For extracting additional characteristics you will need to add them in CTBW and to generate the datasource again. There is no way to overcome this. So datasources created with CTBW cannot fulfill your demand.
You will have to create your own datasource from scratch. This datasource will need to return one row for each found value to be flexible enough and to be able to work with one extract structure that doesn't need to be changed.
In general the way how classifications are stored is quite complex and depends on settings in customizing of classification. So I would recommend to create a datasource based on your own function module. This could call BAPI_OBJCL_GETOBJECTS to find the classified objects and BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL to read the valuations. For more information see please documentation of these BAPIs. Additional information on BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL you will find in SAP note 1083983.
Best regards,
Rolf

Problem while generating classification data-sources

Hi ,
I have one classification data-source 1CL_OVEN001 which is based on vendor master data and class type 10. I tried to added one field in this data-source . while generating data-source, I got some error like " Extractor can not be generated".
Then I searched on SAP site and got one note 1946309 . When I implemented this note and tried to generated data-source. Now I am getting another error.
"EXTRACT STRUCTURE IS NOT PERMITTED"
I have tried with several note but getting same error.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
What field you have added, if it is Keyfigure then make sure that you have added its unit.
