"How to pass classification characteristics while creating batch" ?

Question

Hi,
    I am using FM's BAPI_BATCH_CREATE/CHANGE while creating/changing batch I have to maintain classification data aswell.But in FM docu i saw as shown below
1.Create the classification of a batch in the background (object characteristics only)
2. If the batch is to be classified, you must specify a class in the BatchControlFields parameter. Only single classification is possible.
  According to above statments I have passed class name in Batch Control Fields but I am unable to find " How to pass classification characteristics while creating batch". Please tell me how to pass classification characteristics in background?

Hi, You can update classification for a batch using the following code.
But first, you'll need to find out that the batch management is cross-plant or plant dependant.
If it is cross plant then plant(WERKS) is not part of the key to BAPI_OBJCL_CONCATENATEKEY.
CLEAR: objectkey, objectkeytable, objectkeytable[],
           allocvaluesnumnew, allocvaluesnumnew[],
           return.
    objectkeytable-key_field = 'MATNR'.
    objectkeytable-value_int = matnr.
    APPEND objectkeytable.
    objectkeytable-key_field = 'CHARG'.
    objectkeytable-value_int = charg.
    APPEND objectkeytable.
* Only if Batch management is Plant dependant
    objectkeytable-key_field = 'WERKS'.
    objectkeytable-value_int = werks.
    APPEND objectkeytable.
    CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_OBJCL_CONCATENATEKEY'
      EXPORTING
        objecttable    = objecttable
      IMPORTING
        objectkey_conc = objectkey
      TABLES
        objectkeytable = objectkeytable
        return         = return.
    allocvaluesnumnew-charact = "characteristic name goes here".
    allocvaluesnumnew-value_from ="characteristic value goes here".
    APPEND allocvaluesnumnew.
    allocvaluesnumnew-charact =  "characteristic name goes here".
    allocvaluesnumnew-value_from =  "characteristic value goes here".
    APPEND allocvaluesnumnew.
    CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE'
      EXPORTING
        objectkey                = objectkey
        objecttable              = 'MCHA' " MCH1 in case of cross-plant batch management
        classnum                 = classnum " Classification class number, as used in MSC2N
        classtype                = classtype " Classification class type, as used in MSC2N
*   STATUS                   = '1'
*   STANDARDCLASS            = STANDARDCLASS
*   CHANGENUMBER             = CHANGENUMBER
*   KEYDATE                  = SY-DATUM
*   NO_DEFAULT_VALUES        = ' '
* IMPORTING
*   CLASSIF_STATUS           = CLASSIF_STATUS
      TABLES
        allocvaluesnumnew        = allocvaluesnumnew
        allocvaluescharnew       = allocvaluescharnew
        allocvaluescurrnew       = allocvaluescurrnew
        return                   = return
* Do not forget to commit, otherwise changes would not take effect.
commit work.
