Linking Different characteristic values

Guru's,
We maintain characteristics in the material master and I need to link characteristic values(In ct04 level not individual material level)in different materials. For example when i search for tyre size 10/20 I need to see materials with tyre size 15/30 and 23/43. This link I need to maintain at Characteristic level and not individual material level.
Thank you in advance for the feedback.
Shiral.

No characteristic value of the material in PO

Hi,
I am testing the configuration material. I've maintianed a class of class type 200 in BOM, and get the PR after running MRP. No any field or view in PO to display the characteristic value of material. How to get it? I thought it should be display somewhere in PO and in the GR view, because the buyer should know what product they should get and the inspector should know what should be inspect and the pass level.
Thanks!

Hello,
I checked all the tab in PO and PR, but no any icon to see the characteristic.
I've created a PO for a material which was maintain a class of class type 001, then I've seen the icon 'configuration'.
Is it necessary to maintain a class of class type 001 for the material related class item in BOM? The on line help told that could create some materials with different characteristic value of one characteristic assigned to a class of class type 200, then maintain this class in BOM. System will pick the right material according to the characteristic value in SO.
I am confused that why have to create some materials to do that because this application is to reduce redundance of material. I thought one material is enought, which will be required by the characteristic value and taking this value in PO. Do I have to maintain the class 001 for this? If yes, how can I get the characteristic value of class 001 from same charactieristic in the class 002?

Release strategy determination for PO item level characteristic value

Hi Experts
I have user material group as release characterstic for PO.
I have created two line items with two different material groups.
How the release strategy determination occurs when the two different material groups are linked to two different strategies?
regards
ramSiva

Hi,
in this case system is NOT able to find the release startegy.
Please take care of the following explanation (see note 365604)
o For OVERALL RELEASE (purchase order and purchase requisition) the
   item fields such as Plant and Material Group will be aggregated
   to header level.
   For example you use Plant/material group
as one of your characteristics. If all
items do not belong to the same plant/material group
then
*******the relase strategy will not be found***********
unless you have maintained a blank value as one
of your allowed values for the characteristic Plant/material group
. If all items
belong to the same plant7material group
then that plant is aggregated to the
header; if one or more is different then a blank is aggregated to
the header.
If you use an overall release strategy all
characteristics which you have defined in the customizing (CEKKO-MATKL
must have the same value. If one item has material class x and the
other y the system does not know with which material class it should
look for a release strategy. Now the system sets the material class
to 'blank' and tries to find a release strategy. If you do not have
defined a blank entry in the customizing (Transaction: OMGS
: OLME >release procedure for PO > rel. strategy ) the
system won't find a release strategy.
you need
to add a blank value to your allowed characteristic values in your
release strategy. To do this you can define a blank value in your
characteristic (CT04). On the values screen leave the char.value
blank and add a description and save. Now in OMGS you can select
this value as an allowed value for the characteristic.
(Example:
To avoid this you can do the following:
- go into transaction CT04
- enter the characteristic 'CEKKO-MATKL'
- click on the tab 'values'
- set a flag in 'additional values'
- in the column 'Char. value' do not enter anything
- in the column 'Description' enter a text like 'no material class'
- save this setting
Now
- go into transaction OMGS -> button 'release strategy'
-> button 'classification'
- double click on CEKKO-MATKL' and set a flag in 'no material class' )
Please also have a look into the attached note 365604 point 2d).

Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs is taking long time

Hi Experts,
Cube load is taking more than 7 hrs to complete for 6 million records. Max time is at Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs. Cube consists of 500 fields. Load is from DSO to Cube. DSO has 10 fileds with no SID flag check for activation. Remaining fields in the CUBE are pouplated looking in to other DSO's. Start and End routines are executing very fast. How to fasten Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs step. I need to load 15 million records daily as part of delta. any suggestions.

Performance - Conversion of characteristic values to SID

Greetings:
Yesterday I load 556.000 record into an infocube.
No transformations of any kind. Direct assign for every infoobject. Very simple
It lasted 1 h 30m to complete the loading.
It started loading 7 datapackage of 50.000 records each.
I realized that 3 of those datapackage (#2, #4 and #7) lasted from 41:47min to 41:59min in the "Conversion of characteristic values to SID" task. The other 5 lasted ... seconds.
Any idea of that could be going on during this conversion?
I don't understant why some datapackages last so long and other don't.
Does anybody has any idea about this?
Thanks in regards.
Guillermo

Hi Daniel,
The SID generation is based upon the Dimension Table and Master data.
If you see the dimension table can be build with different types like:
one to many
many to one
many to many
one to one
So, if the dimension's for that datapacket data is many to many then it has to get all the relations and then it has to assign an SID.
If it is one to one then there will be no more work to be done by the system to assign the SID's
Hope you understood the back-end process.

Ravi Kanth.

We had the same issue after applying the SP2 & August CU. we open the case with MSFT and get the same resolution as you mentioned.
I blog about this issue and having the office reference.
Later MSFT release the Hotfix for this on December 10, 2013 which i am 100% positive should be part of future CUs.
So if you apply the April CU then you will be fine.

Copy BOM Component Characteristic value in material PR created by MRP Run

Dear Gurus,
My requirement is I have materials like thread to maintain color characteristic i have create class - color- class type is 023 , now i want user should able to maintain characteristic value in BOM component (thread) of semifinish material. FG , SFG are not having any characteristic.
Now in PR and PO we can maintain characteristic value in Material Data --->Configuration tab , Configuration tab will come only when there is tick in material is configurable at material basic data 2 view of thread and in CU41 I have to maintain material for class type 300 - Variant , then in class assignment i have select class type 300 and 023 both and maintain class , both are having same characteristic please make me correct if i am doing wrong process, if i am not maintaining class assignment 300 in CU41, in manual PO system not allowing to enter characteristic value in configuration tab . so i maintain both class assignment 300 and 023.
Now for manual PR and PO system showing configuration tab and from PO configuration tab characteristic value is coming in MIGO automatically but when i am running MRP for finish material the auto PR generated by system for material thread is not showing configuration tab in Material Data of PR. I have maintain characteristic value in BOM --->Extra--->Batch Classification. Please guide me how to archive this.
Thanks & Regards
Akshay.

Akshay kukde,
Still i am unable to understand the reason for maintaining a characterstic value for a batch through BOM, I hope you are not changing BOM for every purchase order ?
can you explain what you expect by maintaing this one value for batch characterstic?
you can have many other simple option like
1) Create a material with colour included in it ex, Thread_red, Thread _green etc and use them in BOM
2) Use text in BOM to hold this discription for colour
3) Use batch management, class 023 in material master classification , defalut value for colour, purchase order will be created and while doing GR you can change in colur if its different then default you set earlier.
Akshay kukde wrote:
if i am creating PR Manually -ME51N , system showing configuration tab , where i can maintain characteristic value , which then reflecting in PO and from PO to MIGO
The above scenario I have tried by maintaining class type 023 and same characteristic in material Master. but result is same for auto generate PR by MRP- configuration tab is missing.
My requirement in this case is characteristic value should flow from BOM to PR generated by MRP.
when you manualy create PR you Thread material is consider to be a configurable material and thats why you are able to input configuration value, otherwise as soon as you put this configurable material inside a BOM of normal materila it loost its configuration feature, if you want you can create your parent material also as configurable material, assign same class to it and create configuration profile and take MRP run this time you will get PR with configuration tab as your thread get configuration derived from parent.
Hope above details may help you.
Check and reply, also mark replies helpful if it helps you.

Condition type value updation using characteristic value in sales order

Hi Experts,
We are implementing SAP for one of our Spain client. In that one of the Legal requirements is, whenever they are selling the finished products to domestic customers who contain OIL as one of the component then, some additional cost needs to be calculated and collected from customer and which needs to be paid back to Spain Government every month on Region basis.
If OIL is not a component to produce the finished product then, not required to charge the customer additionally.
The OIL content used to produce every finished product will vary based on product characteristic value. Meaning, for some finished product the OIL used will be 2.2 KG and for some products it will be 3.5, 4.3 KG and etc.
Since various combinations of products are available for the client, during sales order creation we are planning to update some special characteristic which the data flow from u201CVariant Tableu201D. In the variant table we are going to maintain the OIL Quantity required making finished product.
But we are not sure how to activate a new condition type with the value fetched in the special characteristic. This new condition type needs to be activated based on this characteristic value and multiplied with total order quantity and price to charge from customer.
Example, the special characteristic fetched the value of 2.2 KG based on variant table. Total Order quantity is 10 PC and charge is 0.06 EURO per KG. in this case, (2.2 x 10 ) x 0.06 EURO = 1.32 EURO
I need the expert opinion how to activate the new condition type based on characteristic value and achieve the above requirement.
Thanks in advance.
Warm Regards,
VEL

Hello,
I have replicated the whole requirememt in IDES and getting the price calculation as needed but the only issue with the Conversion factor for the condition type. Either you need to maintian the conv factor in material master or need to enter manually for the condition type in SO. Some how you have to maintain the conversion factor to calculate the price for the condition type in different unit.
For easy of understanding Lets make the whole requirement in 2 parts
Part - 1
Oil qty calculation. For convenience sake I have taken oil qty also in TO
1) Created a num char OIL_QTY1 with length 9 and decimal places 5 and UOM as TO
2) Created Variant table to infer the OIL qty in TO per piece of finished prod ( This oil qty data may be depends on various factors). For certain Finished products the oil qty may be 0 or blank
3) Created a REF char SO_QTY to pull the SO qty to configuration and add this char in class 300(Table:VBAP,Field :KWMENG)
4) Created another char SO_OIL_QTY (Num with length 9 and decimal places 5 and UOM as TO)
5) Created a PROCEDURE say PROC_SO_OIL_QTY with code
*$self.SO_OIL_QTY = $self.OIL_QTY1 * $self.SO_QTY*
6) Create another PROCEDURE as mentioned earlier with modified code
$SELF.A_VARCOND = 'TEST_001' if OIL_QTY1 specified,
$SET_PRICING_FACTOR ($SELF,A_VARCOND,'TEST_001', SO_OIL_QTY)
Note: Maintain proper seq of the procedures in profile. The Qty cal proc should be before the price related procedures.
PART-2
1) For the condition type maintained 60 EUR per TO (0.06 EUR per KG)
Now if you create SO for the Finished product of 10 PC
the Char values will be
OIL_QTY1 = 0.00022 TO (inferred from Variant table th proc)
SO_QTY = 10
SO_OIL_QTY = 0.0022 TO
Get into conditions tab
Here Condition type ZSIG will be displayed as error with Amount 60 EUR per TO and condition value will be blank. Just enter value 1 in the col NumC and CCon fields.
Now the Condition value will appear as 1.32 EUR.
Hope this gives some more clarity

Characteristic Value Assignment in Sales order

Hi Pals,

I have a configurable material X,
then i create a purchase order for that material and then i input characteristic value in the Purchase Order transaction and save it
However when i do the Goods Receipt transaction via MIGO and using the Purchase Order number that i have created, after i entry the batch number and want to check the classification, the characteristic value are blank, so it is not copied from the Purchase Order
I've tried guide from

Purchase order release strategy with a characteristic value as a variable

Hi all,
We have Purchase order release strategy based on the following characteristics:
Total Net Order Value
Purchasing Organization
a few other custom fields
We would like to add a characteristic based on the creator of the PO. In the purchasing department there are two person which have the authorization to create an release POs. The goal is now to check if the actual user, who release the PO, is different from the PO creator. The value of this characteristic may not be a fix value, it must be contain the name of the actual user name.
Is there are a possibility to insert the characteristic value as a variable such as SY-UNAME instead a fix value?
Thanks,
Charles

this is verymuch possible. You can use unsed fields user1, user2 etc in CEKKO or (ii) insert a new field in CEKKOZZ and use the new field. You need to build up logic in user-exit such that this field will take the value of person who had logged in. This can be done by ABAPer.
Hope this resolves ur problem

Characteristic values as hyperlinks in a web report

Hi All
I have a web report with only one characteristic and some key figures. And the number of values for that characteristics are 5 and they are always fixed (structure). In my report I need to make each of that characteristic value a hyper link. I have 5 separate reports which should be linked to these 5 characteristic values.
I think this can be achieved by using a table interface. If yes, could any one please provide me with the code for the method CHARACTERISTIC_CELL in the ABAP class?
Or, is there any other better solution?
Points will be assigned!
Thank you
